Dirt Work at the Forks of the Pigeon

Excavation contractors in Sevierville work in the Sevier County seat, built where the East and Middle forks of the Little Pigeon River join. The city sits at about 971 feet, where the Smokies foothills give way to the Tennessee Valley, about ten miles from Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It grew from 4,556 people in 1980 to 17,889 in 2020.

River forks and creeks

Below town the Little Pigeon picks up the West Fork and flows north to the French Broad. Boyd's Creek and Dumplin Creek drain parts of the area. Lots near any of them may be wet and have flood limits on fill.

Old ground

The McMahan Mound site, a platform mound from about 1200 to 1500 A.D., lies in the area, and Native American presence goes back to about 200 A.D. On rural parcels with river frontage, an unexpected find in a dig is possible, and we stop work if we see anything that looks like a cultural deposit.

Tourism growth

Sevierville set up a 3-square-mile Tourism Development Zone in 2004, funded by $150 million in bonds, and the city has more than 2,000 hotel and motel rooms. Construction keeps going: cabins, rental homes and commercial pads all need site work.

Rock and runoff

Foothills soils near Sevierville are often rocky or cherty, and slopes shed water fast in heavy rain. Driveways and pads need ditches, culverts and erosion control.
