Fast Growth, Fresh Fill

Excavation contractors in Hardin Valley work in what has been the fastest-growing area of Knox County by population since the late 2000s. The unincorporated community in western Knox County, about 15.5 miles west of downtown Knoxville, had about 4,750 people in 1990 and an estimated 37,030 in 2018. More than 1,200 building permits were issued after July 2014, mostly for subdivisions and apartments.

Young subdivisions

Most homes here are recent, built on lots shaped by mass grading. A few years after construction, settled fill, ponding in backyards and soggy side yards start to show up. A regrade and a French drain to a proper outlet fixes most of them.

Pools and patios

New homeowners often add pools, patios and outdoor kitchens. Digging into a recently filled lot means checking how much is fill and how well it was compacted before setting a pool shell or a patio base on it.

Traffic and access

Residents have raised concerns about congestion on roads like Hardin Valley Road, with Pellissippi State Community College and three Knox County schools nearby. We schedule trucks outside school drop-off and pick-up times.

What is under the fill

Under the graded subdivisions, Hardin Valley is ridge-and-valley ground like the rest of west Knox County: red clay over limestone. USDA soil descriptions for the region list bedrock anywhere from 20 inches to more than 5 feet. A pool dig that starts in fill can finish in rock.

Outlets

Many Hardin Valley lots drain to a street or an HOA swale. We tie drains into those, not into a neighbor's yard.
