Valley Lots North of Hixson
Excavation contractors in Middle Valley work in a north Hamilton County census-designated place of 11,695 people (2020) at about 699 feet. Housing units rose from 4,459 in 2000 to 4,759 in 2020 even as population held steady, a sign of new building on remaining land.
Valley soils
Like much of the county's valley floor, Middle Valley sits on clay weathered from limestone. Dewey-type soils hold water, and some areas have sinks and depressions, so drainage outlets need care.
Mixed sewer and septic
Some homes are on sewer and some on septic. We confirm before planning trenches.
Schools and traffic
Middle Valley Elementary, McConnell Elementary and Loftis Middle serve the area. We plan trucks around school traffic on the main roads.
Land between suburbs
Middle Valley still has open parcels between subdivisions. Clearing, house pads, driveways and septic work are common on those.
Drainage across lots
With subdivisions next to older homes and open land, water often flows from one property to the next. We design drainage that keeps water on its natural path and away from neighbors.
Rain
Chattanooga's normals list about 55 inches of precipitation a year, and clay soils here stay wet after storms. We plan grading for drier stretches.
Typical schedule
Most Middle Valley drainage and trenching jobs take one to two days. Site prep for a new home takes several days of machine time, depending on rock and weather.
Typical work in Middle Valley
- French drains and regrading
- Lot clearing for new homes
