Excavation Contractors in Sequoyah Hills, TN

Excavation contractors in Sequoyah Hills work in one of Knoxville's best-known neighborhoods, built on a peninsula in a bend of the Tennessee River once called Looney's Bend. Annexed by Knoxville in 1917, it saw major residential development from the mid-1920s, including the Talahi subdivision planned in 1926. Homes run from the 1850s Thomas House through 1920s Tudor and Neoclassical homes to mid-century designs.

Bluff and floodplain

A 10- to 15-foot bluff runs along most of the southern edge, and the land rises about 40 feet above the river. Sequoyah Park fills the floodplain between the shore and the bluff. Lots near the bluff edge need careful drainage so water does not run over and erode it.

Historic features

The Talahi Improvements along Cherokee Boulevard, including fountains and stone walls, were listed on the National Register in 1979. An Indian mound about 1,000 years old sits in the Cherokee Boulevard median. Work near these features calls for extra care.

Mature trees

Sequoyah Hills is full of large old trees. Their roots spread far beyond the canopy, and heavy equipment over a root zone can kill a tree years later. We route machines and trenches to avoid them and hand-dig near large roots where necessary.

Narrow streets and parking

Streets like Cherokee Boulevard are busy with walkers and runners. We stage trucks carefully and keep sidewalks clear.
