The business was founded by Michael Colson, who transitioned into land development after 25 years in the auto sales industry, partnering with experienced heavy equipment operator Bryan Warren to launch the company. Low Country Construction first became established in Walterboro, then expanded into Virginia in the aftermath of Hurricane Isabel in 2003, where Colson took on bulkhead and revetment projects along 50-foot cliffs on the James and York rivers. The company has also responded to hurricanes affecting Florida and Louisiana, including Katrina. Its erosion protection work includes projects such as a 190-foot waterfront property with a 56-foot cliff that had lost roughly 40 feet of embankment over 40 years, where crews built a 12-foot ledge and placed 800 tons of class 2 granite to restore the bank. A separate 35-acre project involved clearing land for deer and turkey food plots and expanding an existing half-acre natural pond by digging an additional acre around its perimeter. Low Country Construction also operates the Clubhouse Road Dirt-Pit, located between Summerville and Cottageville, supplying topsoil and clay dirt to local contractors. Patrons describe the crew as courteous, dependable, and efficient, noting that projects are completed on time and at or below budget.

The office sits on Phillips Road, about 0.7 miles from Thunderbolt Career and Technology Center, 1.3 miles from Northside Elementary School, and 1.7 miles from Lowcountry Regional Airport.

The rating reflects the satisfaction of customers who have relied on the company for erosion protection and land development work across the Lowcountry and beyond.
