Excavation Contractors in Hixson, TN

Excavation contractors in Hixson work in a former unincorporated community that is now part of Chattanooga, first settled around 1821 by John and Elendar Hixson.

River and creek

Greenway Farms is part of the North Chickamauga Creek Conservancy. Lots along the creek and river can have floodplain limits on fill.

Postwar and later suburbs

Northgate Mall opened in 1972, and most of Hixson's neighborhoods filled in during the decades around it. Ranch homes with aging laterals, settled grading and old concrete keep us busy.

Valley clay

Hixson's valley soils are typically clay weathered from limestone, similar to the Dewey series common in the region, with occasional sinks. Drain outlets avoid depressions.

Lake and dam traffic

Roads near the dam and marinas carry recreational traffic on summer weekends. We schedule hauling for weekdays.

Golf course and greenway lots

Homes near Valleybrook Golf Course and Greenway Farms often back up to open space, where drainage outlets and floodplain lines need checking.

Pools and patios

Hixson homeowners add pools, patios and outdoor kitchens. We dig, haul spoil and prep the base.

Sinkholes

Valley ground here is limestone. We keep drainage away from depressions.

Typical Hixson schedule

Most lateral and drainage jobs here take one to two days, with restoration at the end. Pool digs take two to three days depending on size and rock.
