Loudon County
Excavation and site prep in Lenoir City
Lenoir City is in Loudon County, right at Fort Loudoun Dam on the Tennessee River. Tellico Lake is just to the south, and a lot of the land around town is lake property or new building. We do site prep, footers, grading and drainage here.
Call (865) 346-6688Lake country
Fort Loudoun Lake sits above the dam, Watts Bar Lake starts below it, and Tellico Lake is close by on the Little Tennessee River. That much water means a lot of lots with frontage and a lot of slopes running down to a shoreline.
Lake lots bring their own problems. Ground near the water can stay soft. Runoff has to be handled so it does not wash soil into the lake. And work close to the shoreline can fall under rules from the Tennessee Valley Authority, so check before you plan anything near the water.
New homes and growing subdivisions
Loudon County has a lot of new home building, both in subdivisions and on single lots. For a new build we can clear the site, prep it for the builder, dig footers, and come back after the framing for rough and final grade.
Trenching for water, electric and drain lines is part of many of these jobs. The Vermeer mini skid steer runs a trencher, and our 10 inch and 24 inch augers handle post holes and footing holes.
Clay and rolling land
Away from the lakes, the county is rolling farmland and wooded hills on red clay. Some rural tracts need bush hogging and land clean-up before anyone can see what is there. Clay sheds water rather than soaking it up, so grading matters on every lot, not just the steep ones.

Common questions
Can you grade a lake lot?
Yes, as long as the plan keeps runoff under control and stays within the rules for your shoreline. Check with the Tennessee Valley Authority about work near the water before you set a date. We will walk the slope with you first.
Do you dig trenches for utility lines?
We dig the trench for water, electric and drain lines to the depth you need. We do not make utility hookups. Your plumber or electrician lays and connects the line, then we can backfill.

Site prep
Site prep gets the ground ready for your builder so the job can start on time. We clear what is in the way, level the work area and leave a site the next crew can use.

We dig footers to the lines and depth on your plans, clean and square, so your builder can set forms and pour without fixing our work first.
Learn more03Trenching
You need a trench dug to the right depth, in the right place, without tearing up the whole yard. We dig it clean so your plumber, electrician or you can lay the line.
Learn more04Rough and final grade
We rough grade the lot after the build, then come back for final grade so the yard sheds water and is ready for seed, sod or landscaping.
Learn more05Drainage
Standing water, a soggy yard or water running toward the house all come down to how the ground is shaped. We change the shape so the water goes somewhere else.
Learn more06Bush hogging
We cut down tall grass, weeds and brush on overgrown lots, fields and fence lines so you can see your land and use it again.
