Land Development & Site Planning in Asheville, NC

At ModernMason Group, we approach land development with an eye for possibility and a deep respect for the land itself. Whether you’re working with raw acreage or shaping a site for a future home, we help guide the process from initial planning to final preparation—always balancing vision, functionality, and long-term value.

Our work often begins before any construction takes place. We collaborate with surveyors, civil engineers, soil scientists, and environmental consultants to ensure each project is properly assessed and designed. From septic planning and slope analysis to access road layouts and utility coordination, we help manage the complex pieces that make a property build-ready.

We also work directly with local municipalities and state agencies to help clients navigate zoning, steep slope ordinances, watershed protections, and stormwater regulations. Whether the site requires erosion control measures, tree conservation planning, or grading plans for challenging topography, we help make it happen—efficiently and thoughtfully.

Every piece of land is different. We take pride in helping our clients understand what’s possible, what’s required, and how to move forward with clarity. If you’re developing land in Asheville or across Western North Carolina, we’re here to guide the process every step of the way.
