Creek and Ridge in Catoosa County
Excavation contractors in Ringgold work in the Catoosa County seat, founded in 1846 and incorporated in 1847. Taylor Ridge runs through the town, with a gap just east of downtown where the Battle of Ringgold Gap was fought on November 27, 1863. South Chickamauga Creek, a tributary of the Tennessee River, runs through the city. The 2020 census counted 3,414 residents.
Creek lots
Lots along South Chickamauga Creek often sit in a floodplain. Grading and fill there need care and sometimes approval.
2011 tornado
An EF4 tornado on April 27, 2011, killed 20 people across Catoosa County and into Tennessee, nine of them in Ringgold. Rebuilt lots in its path sometimes still hold debris buried during cleanup.
Ridge and valley
Ringgold lies in the Valley and Ridge province. Lots on Taylor Ridge need driveways and drainage built for runoff; valley lots need outlets.
Civil War history
The Ringgold Depot still bears Civil War bullet marks, and the Whitman-Anderson House is on the National Register.
I-75 growth
Interstate 75 crosses the southern part of town, and commercial growth follows the exits. Pad prep and utility trenches for small commercial sites are common.
Clay soils
Valley soils are clay over limestone; we compact backfill in thin lifts and keep drainage away from sinks.
Working near the gap
The gap in Taylor Ridge is where roads, the railroad, the creek and I-75 all squeeze through. Lots near it can be tight and close to the creek, so we plan staging, erosion control and haul routes before the first day.
