"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!"

"Martin and his crew did a great job removing excess dirt, building a retaining wall and grading out our very unusable backyard space. He checked with us on every step of the project to make sure he was on track with our vision, and made adjustments as necessary. We will definitely call Martin and use Chickamauga Construction for our next big construction project."

"Amazing service and quality construction. We were looking for a deck and outdoor kitchen combo that would maximize the space in our small yard. Hunter helped us personalize our space by building both and the final project turned out great. He was more than willing to accommodate our needs and worked with us to design a custom solution that involved multiple tiers, mounting two slides on the deck, and constructing an outdoor kitchen. It was awesome to have someone that could do everything we wanted."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.
