Who We Are

In the Fall of 1987, a dredging contractor was so frustrated with a dredging project, they packed up their equipment and left the property owner stranded with the job half finished. The property owners searched for a general contractor capable of completing the project but no contractor was willing to take on the complex dredging project. Paul Smith was approached to see if he could recommend anyone that would be available to complete the dredging project, but instead of recommending a viable company Paul created Harbor Dredge & Dock. Since then, HDD has helped fill the demand for dredging needs throughout the state of Virginia. HDD has dredged ponds, lakes, canals, tributaries, rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. Harbor Dredge and Dock has grown into a Class A General Contractor able to complete mechanical dredging projects. HDD acquires all the appropriate permits to complete dredging projects in non-tidal and tidal waters to ensure compliance with all state and national agencies.
