"Jared is extremely professional and always shows up when he says he will. He is honest about his work and genuinely wants to help with your issues in any way he can. My yard had a ton of standing water after it would rain. Jared came back several times to find the right solution for this yard. He ended up installing 6 drains in the yard and we can already see a HUGE improvement after rain. He has checked in on us several times since the installation. If you are looking for any type of grading or drain work look no further! I would definitely recommend Tennessee Property Enhancers and would use them again should I need any further work done. It is hard to find an honest company that sticks to their word. I had several other people not show up or provide inaccurate information before I spoke with Jared. I felt his pricing was fair and he completed the job in a timely fashion. I couldn't ask for a better professional to work with to fix this issue. Thank you Jared and Tennessee Property Enhancers!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.
