Our Services

Excavation Contractor Services for East Ridge Driveway Repair and Drainage

East Ridge sits right against the Georgia state line, wedged between I-75 and the low ground along South Chickamauga Creek. That mix of flat, older residential streets and slightly sloped lots closer to Missionary Ridge means driveways here take on water differently depending on where you live, and a grading job that works two streets over might not work on yours.

As the excavation contractor homeowners near Camp Jordan Park, along Ringgold Road, and in the quieter neighborhoods off Germantown Road turn to, we've seen firsthand how thin topsoil over compacted red clay causes ruts and washouts if the grade and base aren't set up correctly.

Whether you need a full driveway installation, a resurfacing on an older gravel drive, or drainage work to stop water from pooling at the end of your driveway, our crew builds the fix around your property, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Why Choose Us

Why East Ridge Homeowners Choose Evergreen

We Know East Ridge Ground

We've worked lots along Ringgold Road, near Camp Jordan Park, and up toward the state line, so we already understand how water moves and where a driveway is likely to fail before we ever break ground.

Straightforward, Fair Pricing

We quote projects honestly and explain what's actually needed for your property, whether that's a full driveway rebuild or a smaller drainage fix.

One Crew, Full-Service Equipment

From grading and gravel delivery to drainage and light demolition, one Evergreen crew handles the whole job, so you're not coordinating multiple contractors.

Local Ground Conditions That Shape Our Grading Approach

East Ridge properties don't all sit on the same ground. A lot near Camp Jordan and the creek behaves differently than a hillside yard closer to Missionary Ridge, and we grade accordingly.

  • Thin topsoil over dense red clay across most residential streets
  • Poor natural drainage in low-lying areas near South Chickamauga Creek
  • Compacted subgrade under older gravel driveways that need regrading, not just topping off
  • Runoff concerns for properties close to I-75 and Ringgold Road where stormwater moves fast
  • Mixed slope conditions on lots transitioning toward the ridge to the north
  • Mature tree roots on older residential lots that complicate excavation and trenching

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.
