A Little About Morganton
Morganton is the Burke County seat, sitting under the Table Rock and Hawksbill skyline at the edge of the Blue Ridge escarpment. The old courthouse square anchors downtown, and the ground gets serious as soon as you head north.
Why that matters on a job site
Slope and rock are the two things that move a Burke County price. Both are worth walking before anyone puts a number on paper.
