Our Story
Born on Fires Creek Road.
Over two decades of shaping Clay County's land — by neighbors who know every ridge, hollow, and soil type in these mountains.
2000
Founded
Rooted in This Land
David Rogers has been shaping the landscape of Clay County, North Carolina, and the surrounding mountain communities since 2000. Born and raised on Fires Creek Road as a lifelong resident, David brings an intimate, generational knowledge of the local terrain, soil conditions, and regional building requirements that outside contractors simply cannot match.
Heavy work and land development are in his blood: David spent the late 1970s logging alongside his father and uncle, building a lifelong love for the outdoors that ultimately led to where the business is today.
A Legacy Built Over Decades
