Excavation Contractors in Halls Crossroads, TN

Excavation contractors in Halls Crossroads work in a north Knox County community settled in 1796 and named for the Thomas Hall family. Its crossroads is where Emory Road, first cleared by militiamen on orders from the North Carolina legislature in 1785, meets Maynardville Pike. The 2020 census counted 10,341 residents, at an elevation of about 1,030 to 1,040 feet.

Beaver Creek through the center

Beaver Creek runs through the middle of Halls, parallel to Emory Road, and flows 25 miles to the Clinch River. The Halls Greenway follows it to the library. Lots along the creek tend to have soft bottomland soil and flood limits, so we check before grading or adding fill near the water.

Ridges to the south

Black Oak Ridge and Beaver Ridge separate Halls from Fountain City. Homes on their slopes need drainage that handles runoff from uphill and driveways built to resist washouts.

Aging commercial sites

Halls has a number of aging commercial sites, and proposals in the early 2010s called for a town center, an urban farm and a greenway system. Small commercial site work, parking lot base repair and demolition of old outbuildings are part of the mix here.

Utilities

Hallsdale-Powell Utility District provides water and wastewater, and KUB provides electricity. Service trenches are coordinated with them.

Clay and creek bottom

Bottomland along Beaver Creek tends to be soft and wet, while the slopes toward Black Oak Ridge are red clay over limestone. On creek lots we watch for soft spots under pads; on slopes we watch runoff. The USDA describes the region's Dewey soils as clay weathered from limestone, often with sinks and depressions, so outlets are chosen carefully.

Planning a Halls job

Because Emory Road and Maynardville Pike carry most traffic through the crossroads, we plan truck trips outside rush hours and keep mud off the pavement with a stone entrance on bigger jobs.
