Excavation Contractors in Strawberry Plains, TN

Excavation contractors in Strawberry Plains work along the Holston River where Jefferson, Knox and Sevier counties meet. Adam Meek settled here in 1785, and a post office has operated since 1806. For much of the 20th century the area had a limestone quarry and an underground zinc mine. The Jefferson County census-designated place counted 2,405 residents in 2020.

Limestone and mines

The old quarry and zinc mine are clues to what is underground: limestone close to the surface in places. Rock and voids are possible in a dig, and we price rock separately.

Three sets of rules

Because the community sits on three county lines, which permit office applies depends on the parcel. Knoxville also annexed commercial corridors near I-40 exits 398 and 402. We check which rules govern before work begins.

River bottoms

Land near the Holston is flatter and softer. Pads there may need stone and fabric, and floodplain limits can restrict fill.

Rain and clay

With around 52 inches of precipitation a year, clay soils stay soft for days after heavy rain. We schedule grading for drier stretches and keep mud off roads with stone entrances.

Interstate growth

I-40 construction from the late 1970s on brought suburban growth, and commercial corridors near exits 398 and 402 continue to develop. Residential lots nearby are seeing new homes, shops and driveways.

Septic and wells

Many homes rely on septic systems. We locate them before moving equipment.
