Our Services

Excavation Contractor Services for Grading and Site Work in Benton, TN

Benton sits at the heart of Polk County, where river bottom flats along the Hiwassee give way quickly to steep, wooded hillsides. As the excavation contractor property owners here turn to first, we work with soft, moisture-heavy soil near the water and hard, rocky clay just a few hundred feet up the slope toward Chilhowee Mountain.

Our crew has cleared overgrown lots off Ladd Springs Road, graded driveways for homes tucked back from Highway 411, and pulled dead hardwoods away from homes near the Polk County Courthouse and Benton Church of God. We know which trees need removal before storm season, which stumps need grinding before a driveway or shed pad goes in, and which slopes need proper grading before you plant a thing.

Whether you're clearing a wooded acre for a new build or just need a hazard tree taken down before it drops a limb on your roof, we bring local know-how to every Benton property we touch.

Why Choose Us

Why Benton Homeowners Choose Evergreen Excavation & Landscaping

We Know Polk County's Terrain

We've worked river bottoms, ridgelines, and everything in between around Benton. That experience means fewer surprises once equipment hits your yard.

Straightforward, Honest Estimates

We walk your property, explain what the job actually requires, and give you a clear price before we start. No inflated line items, no guesswork.

Local Crew, Local Accountability

We're your neighbors, not an out-of-town outfit passing through. We stand behind our grading, our drainage work, and our tree removal jobs because our reputation in this county matters to us.

Local Site Conditions We Plan Around in Benton

Every property in Benton has its own mix of soil, slope, and drainage to work around. Before we bring in equipment, we walk the site and account for the conditions specific to this part of Polk County.

  • River bottom soil near the Hiwassee that holds water and needs planned drainage swales
  • Clay-heavy hillsides rising toward Chilhowee Mountain that demand careful, controlled grading
  • Older gravel driveways off Highway 411 that wash out after heavy rain without proper base and slope
  • Mature hardwood tree cover that often requires tree removal and stump removal before new construction begins
  • Low-lying yards near creek tributaries that benefit from french drain installation
  • Sloped lots prone to erosion that need retaining wall installation and erosion control

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.
