Mixed Neighborhood on Kingston Pike
Excavation contractors in Bearden work in a West Knoxville neighborhood about five miles from downtown along Kingston Pike. The road was surveyed in 1792 to link Knoxville to Campbell's Station. Bearden stayed largely rural into 1900, then grew with tourist traffic and, from 1957, with Western Plaza, Knoxville's first shopping center outside downtown. Knoxville annexed it in 1962.
Third Creek
Third Creek runs through the Middlebrook area, where a paper mill operated from 1838 to 1886. Turkey Creek marks the outer edge of the broader Bearden area. Creekside lots may have flood limits.
Bearden Hill
Bearden Hill, with the Knollwood house used as a Confederate headquarters in 1863, rises above Kingston Pike. Hillside lots nearby need drainage built for runoff.
Commercial density
Bearden has more than 30 shopping centers and about 1.5 million square feet of offices. Small commercial pads, utility trenches and parking lot base repair are part of our work here.
Valley geology
Bearden sits on the same valley limestone as the rest of west Knoxville. Regional soils like Talbott are clay with bedrock 20 to 40 inches down in places, so footings and laterals can meet rock. We price it separately.
Older homes and newer infill
Residential streets around Bearden mix older homes with infill houses built on subdivided lots. Infill often means tight access and drainage that has to be fitted between neighbors.
Traffic on Kingston Pike
Kingston Pike is one of Knoxville's busiest roads. We stage trucks on side streets and haul outside peak hours.
