About Evergreen Excavation & Landscaping

Excavation and Landscaping Rooted in Ocoee and Cleveland, TN

Local excavation and landscaping experts built by people who know this ground. Based in Ocoee, TN, we bring red clay and hillside expertise to every project.

How Evergreen Excavation & Landscaping Got Its Start

Our team grew from a simple commitment: do the job right, every time. That meant learning the terrain instead of treating every site the same way, and it meant showing up with the right equipment and the right plan before the first shovel or excavator bucket ever touched the ground.

Homeowners and business owners across Cleveland started calling us for accurate assessments and durable outcomes, whether the project was a new gravel driveway, a full land clearing job, a drainage fix that had been ignored for years, or landscape work meant to finish a property off right. We've spent years learning how the red clay, ridges, and valleys around Cleveland behave, and we put that knowledge to work on every driveway, drainage system, and landscape project we take on.

That reputation is still what drives us. We're not interested in shortcuts that look fine for a season and fail the next. We build for the long haul, because most of our customers are neighbors we'll see again at the hardware store or the county fair.

How Evergreen Excavation & Landscaping Got Its Start

Local knowledge, real results

Excavation Contractor Experience With Cleveland's Terrain

The landscape throughout Cleveland, Ocoee, and the surrounding areas is distinct. Rolling terrain, red clay soils, and properties carved into ridges and valleys all affect how a site drains, how a driveway holds up, and how a foundation or retaining wall needs to be built. As a grading contractor and drainage solutions provider working this ground every week, we plan around those conditions instead of discovering them after the work starts.

That local expertise shows up in the details of every project we run:

  • Reading how water moves across a hillside lot before we design drainage swales or a French drain system
  • Grading and compacting red clay properly so gravel driveways don't wash out after the first hard rain
  • Positioning retaining walls and erosion control measures where the slope actually needs them
  • Sequencing land clearing and excavation work around a property's natural high and low points
  • Accounting for rock, root systems, and clay density when scheduling utility trenching or site preparation
  • Matching irrigation and lawn seeding plans to how sun and drainage actually behave on a given lot

What We Offer

The Values Behind Every Excavation and Landscaping Project

Doing It Right the First Time

We'd rather take an extra hour to grade a site correctly than leave a customer with a driveway or drainage system that fails in a year. Accuracy up front saves everyone headaches later.

Honest, Local Pricing

Professional and affordable work means giving customers a straight number based on the actual site conditions, not a lowball estimate that grows once the equipment arrives.

Treating Every Property Like Our Own

We approach hillside lots, red clay yards, and commercial sites the same way we'd want our own property handled: with care for the grading, the drainage, and what's already growing there.

Standing Behind the Work

Your neighbor is our neighbor. We're still in Cleveland and Ocoee long after a job wraps, which is exactly why we back our excavation, drainage, and landscaping work with real follow-through.

What working with us looks like

Our Process for Excavation and Landscaping Projects

Every property is different, but our approach to getting a project done right stays consistent from the first phone call to the final walkthrough.

  1. Step 01

    Site Visit and Assessment

    We walk the property with you, looking at slope, soil, drainage patterns, and access before recommending an approach. This is where hillside lots and red clay conditions get accounted for, not guessed at.

  2. Step 02

    Clear Scope and Pricing

    You get a straightforward plan and a written estimate that reflects the actual site work involved, whether that's land clearing, driveway installation, utility trenching, or a full landscaping package.

  3. Step 03

    Careful Execution

    Our crew and equipment handle the excavation, grading, drainage, or landscape work with attention to how it affects the rest of the property, including neighboring drainage paths and existing structures.

  4. Step 04

    Final Walkthrough

    Before we consider the job done, we walk the finished site with you to confirm grading, drainage, and landscaping match what was promised, and we answer any questions about maintenance going forward.

I needed several acres of over-seeding to be done. Daniel and Mason showed up when scheduled, And completed the job , with exceptional effort, and professionalism. The entire process from start, to finish, was what you expect, when hiring a company. I will be using their company for a few other upcoming projects I have.

We couldn't be happier with our project! Daniel is a master "rock-scaper"....we had a challenging bank and erosion issues, and needed better access. Now we have beautiful steps, a natural entry, and a firm bank. Evergreen was a great choice!

Daniel has helped us with several projects over the past four years. We are very pleased with the quality of his work. His knowledge and experience have been extremely helpful in making decisions about how and when to do our landscaping jobs. Daniel is consistently on time and has the equipment to do professional work. He charges a fair price and makes every effort to explain what each project involves in terms of labor, equipment, and materials. It has been a pleasure to have him do our projects. I would highly recommend him!

Daniel Hair, owner of Evergreen Excavation & Landscaping, along with his team, are the epitome of professionalism. They show up when they tell you they will be there, their work is exemplary and their pricing is reasonable. They have gone above and beyond with their work ethic. They answer even the most inane of questions and assist when asked. Daniel steps up to offer advice because he is an experienced professional and most people who are in my position have no idea what we don't know. His advice has been sound and his responses are thoughtful and helpful. If you have a need for an experienced professional to handle any tree removal, land clearing, excavation work or leveling a place for a house, please give Daniel a call! You will not regret it.
