Excavation Contractors in Lookout Mountain, TN

Excavation contractors in Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, work in a small town at about 1,850 feet on the mountain's northern end near Point Park, bordering its sister town of Lookout Mountain, Georgia. It had 2,058 residents and 737 households in 2020 on about 1.34 square miles. The town grew from 452 people in 1900 to 1,031 by 1930.

Sandstone underfoot

Sunset Rock and much of the mountain's brow are sandstone. Plateau soils that form on sandstone, like the Hartsells series, are typically 20 to 40 inches to bedrock. Digs for additions, pools and septic lines often reach rock.

Established homes

With most of the town built out, our work is mostly additions, drainage, pools and replacing old lines around existing homes. That means small equipment, protected lawns and careful work near old walls and trees.

Ruby Falls below

Ruby Falls, a cave with a 145-foot waterfall, lies deep inside the mountain. It is a reminder that limestone lies beneath the sandstone cap and water moves through it.

Close to the Georgia line

The town borders Lookout Mountain, Georgia, so a few streets cross between states. Permits and locates follow the state where the work happens.

Septic and sewer

Some homes are on sewer and some on septic. We confirm before planning any trench.
