Our Story
A Foundation Built on Hard Work and Community
Growing up in our hometown, we were blessed to be raised by parents who understood the value of hard work and community. They worked tirelessly, not just for their own family’s well-being but for the betterment of the entire town. They instilled in us the belief that giving back to the community was the ultimate form of gratitude.
Rediscovering Our Roots
Years later, after chasing dreams and discovering the world, we felt a calling that was impossible to ignore—the call to return home. With its serene landscapes and close-knit community, our mountain town held a charm that no metropolis could offer. It was time to return our experiences and newfound knowledge to where it all began.
Our Mission
We returned with a mission—to create spaces and experiences that reflect the beauty and simplicity of our hometown and promote Southwest Virginia as one of Virginia’s most beautiful hidden treasures. We wanted to invest in the future, not just for ourselves but for the entire community. Our passion lies in developing unique cost-effective, sustainable projects that enhance our lives and interactions with people everyday.
Got a project that’s stalled?
We can pick up where they left off or help you realize and visualize an entirely new plan. It never costs more to do a project right. One old saying isn’t always true in Southwest Virginia: you don’t always get what you pay for! Most of our clients have been clients for 12-15 years through out our business and don’t stay or return for no reason.
We invest in and reward the most talented employees available, contractors, and partners for their work. Thus, regardless of the size of your project, our employees, partners, and third-party contractors are vested in every project we undertake.
What Sets Mason Dixon Brothers Apart?

What helps set us apart is our unwavering commitment to down-home values. We are business owners and community members who care deeply about the people, the land, and resources. Our work extends our love for our hometown and our desire to see it thrive. We believe in honesty, hard work, and the power of small-town solidarity.
Our hometown may be small, but its heart is immense. The support and camaraderie we’ve experienced since our return has been overwhelming. Small businesses, farming families, and God-fearing residents all come together to create a vibrant tapestry of life in Tazewell, Virginia, and the surrounding communities. This is what makes our hometown truly special.
Our hearts may have wandered, but they always knew the way home. And now, we’re here to stay, working hand in hand to make our hometown a better place for all.
