Excavation Contractors in East Ridge, TN

Excavation contractors in East Ridge work in a city named for its position due east of Missionary Ridge. Incorporated in April 1921, East Ridge had 22,167 residents in 2020 on 8.28 square miles, about 2,677 people per square mile, with 10,336 housing units. It borders Chattanooga on three sides and the Georgia line to the south.

Runoff from the ridge

Missionary Ridge rises more than 330 feet above the surrounding ground. Lots on its eastern slope catch water from above every storm. Curtain drains, swales and buried downspouts are common fixes.

Older, close-set homes

With a dense, established housing stock, our work is mostly lateral replacements, drainage, concrete removal and footings for additions. Tight side yards call for compact equipment.

Getting through the ridge

The Bachman Tubes under Missionary Ridge link East Ridge to downtown. We plan hauling routes around them and I-75.

Clay and limestone

The valley east of the ridge is clay over limestone. Dewey-type soils hold water and can contain sinks. Clay backfill goes in thin lifts so trenches do not settle.

Parks and fields

Camp Jordan Park, a 175-acre former farm, and CHI Memorial Stadium sit near South Chickamauga Creek. Lots near the creek may be in a floodplain.

Hospital and commercial work

Parkridge East Hospital and commercial strips along Ringgold Road mean steady small commercial work: utility trenches, concrete removal and pad prep.
