Dirt Work Built for Red Clay and Limestone

Excavation Contractors Knoxville handles residential and light commercial dirt work across Knox County and the neighboring counties: lot grading and building pads, footing and crawlspace digs, utility trenches, French drains, gravel driveways with culverts, and land clearing.

East Tennessee ground has its own habits. Most of the valley floors sit on limestone and dolomite, and USDA soil surveys describe the common upland soils as deep red clay weathered from that rock, sometimes loaded with chert, sometimes with bedrock only two or three feet down. Tennessee is one of the states with the most sinkhole damage in the country, and changing where water drains is one of the ways a new sinkhole gets started. Those facts shape how we dig, where we send water and how we price rock.

How we run a job

• A site visit before any number is written down
• A written price that separates digging, rock, hauling, stone and restoration
• A Tennessee 811 locate request for every dig, and no digging before the marks are in
• Clay kept off the street and out of storm drains
• Water routed to a safe outlet, never into an open sink or a neighbor's yard
• Compacted backfill and a final grade that falls away from the house
