ML BLAKE EARTHWORKS
Class A Contractor
New Kent County sits at the midpoint between Richmond and Williamsburg — close enough to both to benefit from the growth pressure of each, and rural enough to have maintained the character of a working agricultural county well into the twenty-first century. That balance is shifting. New residential development is moving along the I-64 corridor, older farmhouses on large acreage parcels are being replaced as buyers seek land outside the city, and the demand for demolition and site preparation along the Route 60 and Route 33 corridors has grown alongside the county’s population.
ML Blake Earthworks is a Class A licensed and fully insured demolition contractor serving New Kent County from our base in Gloucester. We work regularly along the I-64 corridor and know New Kent’s mix of rural agricultural properties, large-lot residential parcels, and the growing number of teardown-rebuild projects driven by buyers who want land and location but need to replace what’s already on it.
New Kent County has no incorporated towns and a relatively small county building office — but the permit process is real, and a demolition permit is required for any principal structure. We handle the full permit process through New Kent County’s Building Official on your behalf, coordinate utility and septic disconnection, and leave the site clean, graded, and ready for whatever comes next. One contractor, full scope, no hand-off gaps.
We handle the full range of demolition and site preparation work for New Kent County homeowners, farmers, landowners, developers, and investors along the I-64 and Route 60 corridors.

I recently hired M.L. Blake Earthworks to dig the foundation and pour concrete for my husbands shop, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise.
They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and truly paid attention to detail throughout the entire process. The foundation was dug precisely to specifications, and the concrete pouring was done flawlessly. The quality of their work is evident, and I have every confidence that my shop is built on a solid foundation.
I recently had M.L. Blake Earthworks install a driveway at my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final touches, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs.
They took the time to understand what I wanted and offered valuable suggestions that improved the overall design. The quality of their work is outstanding; the driveway looks fantastic and has truly enhanced the curb appeal of my home. Will certainly use them again in the future!!
We have lived on a 20 acre heavily wooded piece of property for 27 years. We have wanted to open it up a bit for a long time. I have been monitoring ads for forestry mulching and contacted Mike Blake if M.L. Blake Earthworks. He responded quickly and came out and gave me an estimate for what I was looking to do. His estimate came in less than what I was expecting.
Mike came out this past week and forestry mulched about 2.5 to 3 acres in front of our home and our two side yards. The result exceeded my expectations and while we still have a forested lot, we now have a beautiful park like setting while preserving a buffer to the street and our neighbors. It was a four day effort.
I also had some logs left over from taking 6 trees down in my horse paddock. I thought I was going to be able to get rid of them as firewood for anyone who needed but had no takers. Mike offered to mulch them up at no separate charge.
Mike did an awesome job and we are extremely happy with our new park like setting. I highly recommend Mike and M.L. Earthworks if you have a similar project.
I’ve worked with Mike and his team for well over a year now, and can’t say enough good things about them. From all our clients new construction site work to some of clients needing minimal work done. Mike always has us covered. From anything from site work, lot clearing, pretty much anything from dirt to trees he has you covered!
I can’t say enough about M.L. Blake Earthworks. Michael and his crew went the extra mile every single day for me. They cleared off 3+ almost 4 acres at my property that was a complete mess, regraded a bad spot from the previous owner that was continuously washing out, and are currently helping with a concrete pad for my new shop. Great communication and definitely priced right and highly recommended them to everyone.
