Charleston's Excavation Contractor for Drainage and Grading Work

Charleston sits along the Hiwassee River, just across the water from Calhoun and a short drive from the old Fort Marr blockhouse site, within a stretch of Bradley County's flood-prone bottomland. Properties here range from low-lying river bottom lots that flood after heavy rain to gently rolling parcels set back from Highway 11, and each one moves water differently depending on soil type, slope, and how close it sits to the river.

As the excavation contractor homeowners near the river crossing turn to first, we've graded driveways, completed French drain installation on lots that stay soggy well into spring, and corrected driveway drainage problems along gravel roads that wash out after every storm. That local experience means we know where standing water tends to collect and how to route it away from foundations, driveways, and yards before it becomes a bigger problem for your property or your neighbors downhill.

Whether you're dealing with a washed-out gravel drive or a backyard that never quite dries out, our team builds landscape drainage solutions matched to how water actually moves across Charleston ground, not a one-size-fits-all fix. We plan every project around the site's grading, soil, and proximity to the floodplain so the fix holds up season after season.

Why Choose Us

Why Charleston Homeowners and Businesses Choose Evergreen

We Know the Hiwassee River Bottomland

We've worked properties on both sides of the river crossing and understand how flood-stage water and seasonal rain move through Charleston lots.

Straightforward, Local Pricing

We're upfront about cost and timeline before we start, and we stand behind the work because Charleston is part of the same community we live and work in.

One Crew for the Whole Project

From excavation and grading to drainage and landscaping, we handle it all with our own equipment and crew, no subcontractors to coordinate.

Local Ground Conditions That Shape Drainage Work in Charleston

Charleston's location along the Hiwassee River floodplain means drainage planning has to account for more than a typical hillside lot. We size and place every system based on how the local ground actually behaves.

  • Silty, low-lying soil near the river that holds water long after storms pass
  • Red clay subsoil on higher ground that sheds rain fast but drains slowly underneath
  • Rural driveways along Highway 11 and county roads that need proper culverts to handle runoff
  • Yards close to the water table that flood without a working drainage swale
  • Older lots with drainage systems that were never sized for current rainfall patterns
  • Grading changes needed where new construction has altered natural water flow

Our crews use this knowledge to size French drain installation correctly, plan drainage swales along low spots, and set grades that carry water off gravel driveways, lawns, and building pads before it pools near your home or business. We also account for how nearby lots and roadways drain, since water crossing property lines is common along the river bottom and rural stretches of Highway 11.

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.

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.
