Our Services

Excavation Contractor Services for Homes Along Lee Highway and Snow Hill Road

Ooltewah has grown fast, and a lot of that growth sits on lots that were never properly graded before the gravel went down. We regularly get called out to driveways off Lee Highway, Snow Hill Road, and the newer subdivisions near Cambridge Square where washboarding, low spots, and edge erosion show up within a couple of seasons.

Our driveway repair work starts with fixing the base, not just adding more rock on top of a bad grade. If your driveway pools water near the garage or washes gravel into the ditch every time it rains, that's a drainage and grading problem, and we correct it before resurfacing.

We also handle gravel driveway installation for homes going up near Ooltewah-Ringgold Road and the growing area around Apison Pike, where new construction often means a driveway needs to be cut and graded from scratch, and we bring the same excavation, drainage, grading, and landscaping expertise to properties tucked along Wolftever Creek and up toward White Oak Mountain.

Whether you need driveway drainage corrected on an existing gravel driveway or a new one built from bare ground, our excavation contractor crew handles the design, base work, and finish grading as one project, not a patchwork of separate contractors around Ooltewah.

Why Ooltewah Chooses Evergreen for Driveway and Site Work

From the flats near Wolftever Creek to the slopes toward White Oak Mountain, we've graded and repaired driveways all over this area and know what holds up here.

Fair, Straightforward Pricing

We give homeowners and business owners a clear estimate before work starts, no surprise add-ons once the equipment shows up.

One Crew, Full Job

We handle grading, drainage, gravel delivery, and finish work ourselves, so you're not coordinating three different contractors for one driveway.

Soil and Drainage Conditions Around Ooltewah

Ooltewah sits in a mix of flat bottomland near Wolftever Creek and rolling hills climbing toward White Oak Mountain, which means driveway and drainage work has to account for both standing water and slope in the same project. We factor in local ground conditions before we ever bring in equipment.

Some of the recurring issues we plan around in this area include:

  • Clay-heavy soil that compacts hard but drains poorly after storms
  • Low-lying lots near Wolftever Creek prone to standing water
  • Sloped driveways off hillside roads that need proper crowning and grading
  • Runoff from newer subdivisions overloading older drainage swales
  • Gravel driveways that lose material to erosion on grades and curves
  • Rock and root-heavy ground on wooded lots near the mountain base

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 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.
