Excavation Contractors in Loudon, TN

Excavation contractors in Loudon work in the Loudon County seat, settled in the 1790s and incorporated in 1850. The city sits on the Tennessee River at about 863 feet and is named for Fort Loudoun, the colonial-era fort several miles to the south. Housing grew from 2,426 units in 2010 to 2,590 in 2020, and a 2025 estimate puts the population near 6,963, up more than 16 percent.

River ground

Lots along the Tennessee River are flatter and lower, with bottomland soil that stays wet and floodplain limits on fill. Uphill lots have the opposite problem: runoff and slopes. We look at both and plan drainage to a safe outlet.

New homes and old

Loudon's older homes near downtown have aging laterals and settled grading. Newer homes on the edges of town are on cut-and-fill lots where drainage problems show up after a few years. Both keep us busy.

Valley soils

Loudon County soils are often red clay weathered from limestone. The USDA describes Dewey soils, common in the region, as well drained but clayey, with sinks and depressions in some areas. Clay backfill has to be placed in thin compacted lifts so it does not settle against a foundation.

Rain and access

The region gets about 52 inches of rain a year. On riverside lots, wet weather can make access hard, so we plan bottomland work for drier spells and use mats when the ground is soft.
