Excavation Contractors in Red Bank, TN

Excavation contractors in Red Bank work in a city named for a red clay ridge visible from the first postmaster's house. Incorporated in 1955 as Red Bank-White Oak, the city is an enclave entirely surrounded by Chattanooga, about 5 miles north of downtown at the base of the Cumberland Plateau. It had 11,899 residents and 6,344 housing units in 2020.

Stringers Branch

The city center follows the valley of Stringers Branch, which flows southwest to the Tennessee River. Lots near it tend to be wet, and some sit in a floodplain.

Red clay

The name says it. Red clay soils, like the Dewey series common in the region, are deep clay weathered from limestone. They hold water and compact poorly when wet, so backfill goes in thin lifts.

Established neighborhoods

Red Bank's population peaked at 12,715 in 1970, so much of the housing is mid-century. Lateral replacements, drainage and concrete removal are typical.

Plateau runoff

Red Bank sits at the foot of the Cumberland Plateau. Homes on its western edge near US 27 catch runoff from higher ground. Curtain drains and swales help.

Dayton Boulevard

Dayton Boulevard is the main road through town. We plan trucks around its traffic and keep mud off it with stone entrances on larger jobs.

Sinks in the valley

Red clay over limestone can hide sinks and depressions. We never route a drain into one.
