A Valley Town on the State Line
Excavation contractors in Rossville work in a small Walker County, Georgia, city in a broad valley between Missionary Ridge to the east and Lookout Mountain to the west, just across the state line from Chattanooga. Incorporated in 1905, it had 3,980 residents in 2020 on 1.81 square miles at about 699 feet. A post office has operated here since 1817.
Ridges on both sides
Runoff comes off Missionary Ridge and the lower slopes of Lookout Mountain toward the valley floor. Valley lots stay wet; slope lots get the runoff first.
John Ross House
The city is named for Cherokee Chief John Ross, whose log house is a National Historic Landmark (1973).
Older homes
Rossville's housing is older and close-set, with aging laterals and concrete. Lateral digs, drainage and concrete removal are common.
Clay and limestone
The valley floor is clay over limestone. Dewey-type soils hold water and can have sinks.
US 27 traffic
US 27 connects Rossville with Chattanooga and Fort Oglethorpe. We plan hauling around its busiest hours.
Georgia permits
Work here follows Walker County and Georgia rules. We check before starting.
Small lots
Many Rossville lots are small and close together. Compact machines and careful staging protect neighbors.
Close to downtown Chattanooga
