Hickory is the largest city in Catawba County and the commercial center of the region, known for furniture manufacturing and the Union Square district. It sits where the Piedmont begins giving way to the foothills.
Why that matters on a job site
Rock north of the city is common enough that we look at it before quoting trenching or footings rather than treating it as a surprise.
