Services in Decatur, TN
Site Preparation, Excavation, and Grading Services
Property owners in Decatur call us for a wide range of excavation and dirt work, from residential excavation and driveway prep to commercial excavation ahead of new construction. As a site preparation contractor with deep experience across Meigs County's mixed terrain, we bring the right approach whether your lot is river bottom or upland.

Site Preparation
Grading, land leveling, and dirt work to get a Decatur property ready for a driveway, home addition, barn, or commercial build. We handle the excavation and rough grading so your project starts on solid, properly sloped ground.

Land Clearing & Grading
Clearing brush, trees, and overgrowth on farmland or wooded lots around Decatur, then grading the site so water drains where it should instead of pooling near your foundation or driveway.

Utility Trenching
Trenching for water lines, power lines, and conduit across residential and rural properties, dug to the right depth and backfilled properly so your utility connections hold up over time.

Light Demolition
Removal of old sheds, concrete pads, decks, and small structures that need to come out before your next project can begin, cleared and hauled away so the site is ready to work with.
Our most requested work in the Decatur area includes:
- Gravel driveway installation and repair for rural and farm properties
- Land clearing and brush removal on wooded or overgrown acreage
- Drainage swales and French drain installation for low-lying lots near the river
- Utility trenching for water lines, power lines, and conduit
- Retaining wall installation on sloped riverbank or hillside sections
- Light demolition of old sheds, pads, and outbuildings
Excavation Contractor Experience Across Decatur's River Bottoms and Farmland
Decatur sits where the Hiwassee River meets the Tennessee River, and that geography shapes almost every excavation project we take on here. Properties near Blythe Ferry and along the river tend to have soft, sandy loam soil that drains differently than the clay uplands further inland, while farmland tracts off Highway 30 and Highway 58 often need grading before a new driveway, barn pad, or homestead can go in.
We've worked lots close to Watts Bar Lake where the water table sits high, and we've cleared overgrown acreage on the outskirts of town where fence rows and brush have taken over for years. Whether you're a homeowner near the Meigs County courthouse or a landowner with river-adjacent acreage, our crew shows up with equipment sized for the job and a plan that respects how water moves across your land.
Evergreen Excavation & Landscaping is based in Ocoee, TN, and we've been serving communities like Decatur with the same equipment, crew, and attention to detail we'd bring to a job down the road from our own shop.

Why Choose Us
Why Decatur Property Owners Choose Evergreen
Local Experience With River-Bottom and Farmland Terrain
We've worked enough lots along the Hiwassee and Tennessee River to know how sandy soil and a high water table change the way a driveway or drainage system needs to be built.
Straightforward, Fair Pricing
We give property owners a clear estimate before work starts, with no inflated add-ons once the equipment is on site. Professional work at a price that makes sense for a rural or residential budget.
Equipment and Crew Sized for Rural Properties
From tight farmland access roads to wide-open acreage, we bring the right machinery for the site instead of forcing a one-size approach onto every property.
Local Site Conditions We Plan Around in Decatur
Decatur's mix of river bottom and rolling farmland means no two lots behave the same way once you start digging. We look at soil type, water table depth, and slope before any equipment moves, because guessing on a river-adjacent lot leads to drainage problems later.
Conditions we regularly account for around Decatur include:
- Sandy loam soil near the Hiwassee and Tennessee River bottoms
- High water tables on lots close to Watts Bar Lake
- Seasonal runoff across open farmland tracts off Highway 30
- Gentler upland grading compared to steeper ridge terrain elsewhere in the region
- Older fence rows and brush overgrowth on long-idle rural acreage
- Soft ground access points that require careful equipment routing during wet months
