"I made the appointment with Mr. Blewett several weeks in advance. On the (Monday) morning scheduled, he arrived on time and took care of winterizing the system. I plan to continue to use Blewett Lawn & Landscaping to maintain our system."

"The patio turned out excellent! Wayne's attention and commitment for detail is impressive. We also needed landscaping done in our front yard, and he was more than happy to help us. With the excellent work done and personable employees, I can't recommend Woodrum Landscape & Design enough."

"I hired these guys to clear off my land to build my home. They cleared the land, installed a septic, built my house pad, built my driveway, and placed my water line & underground electric. These guys were phenomenal. I would recommend them to everyone needing some work done!"

"Overall Ethan and his staff were very professional and efficient. On our initial meeting Ethan listened to us and developed a work plan that would meet our needs. He was prompt in submitting a reasonable estimate and answered all our questions. We set a date to begin. The weather caused a delay, but Ethan was quick to notify us of the delay. Another start date was set and the work was done. We had four projects (repair ceiling in the garage, repair the main shower grout, replace floor trim, and design/build a sunroom step). We are very pleased with the final results of the work. The staff completed their tasks in a timely manner and were really nice guys. I would highly recommend Ethan Putnam and his staff at All Around Solutions LLC."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Watch for persistent yard pooling, basement seepage, or deep erosion channels after heavy Chattanooga rainstorms. You should also inspect your property for ground settling, yard depressions, or cracked driveways, as the area's limestone geology makes sinkholes a real concern. Finally, recurring wet spots or sewage odors strongly indicate failing underground lines that require excavating to access and repair.

Helpful?

Most residential excavating takes one to seven days, depending on the scope. For example, a drainage trench takes one to three days, while foundation work requires three to seven days. In TN, state law requires waiting three full business days for utility marking before digging begins. Rocky soil conditions or wet winter weather will extend your timeline.

Helpful?

Always contact the state utility marking service three full business days before beginning any excavating to prevent dangerous line strikes. Secure all required local grading and land disturbance permits. You must also check local zoning codes for floodplain setbacks. Request a geotechnical assessment to identify hidden sinkholes, and schedule your work during the drier summer months in Chattanooga.

Helpful?

Discharging downspouts directly onto freshly graded areas causes severe erosion and undermines backfill compaction. Overwatering your landscaping in TN clay soils leads to harmful soil expansion around trenches. Parking heavy vehicles on newly backfilled ground creates deep voids and settlement issues. Additionally, planting large trees near drainage lines guarantees destructive root intrusion that ruins recent excavating work.

Helpful?

Schedule all final inspections to officially close out your local permits. Establish vegetation immediately by seeding or sodding bare clay soils before the heavy Chattanooga rain seasons begin. Keep silt fencing in place until ground cover fully establishes. Finally, observe your new drainage patterns throughout a full winter wet season to ensure your excavating performs perfectly.
