"I met Blaine and his father, Ron in December. I instantly knew they were the people I wanted to do the job. As we walked around my yard I was impressed with their knowledge and courtesy. I was particularly happy to hear they'd been in this business for 3 generations. I interviewed two other companies getting the obligatory 3 references. The difference between the 2 and Blaine was night and day. Neither of them really knew what they were doing. One, it seemed had to check with my engineer on every step. Blaine knew exactly what to do without consulting anyone (except sometimes his dad)- they were a Team! They are the experts. The job was finished sooner than expected. I've never seen people work so efficiently.. They worked in tandem with the structural engineers specifications. Although I don't think they needed his instructions. They left a very clean worksite (after excavation work!) I highly recommend this excellent company."

"I hired Quality Lawn Care late last year to remove the remnants of a root system, grade and level out my lawn away from the house, and reseed. Everyone was friendly enough when outperforming the work, but the yard did not look level. When I asked about it, they said it would settle and level out and if there were any issues to give them a call. After everything started to grow in and I cut the grass I found several areas where roots were exposed in addition to an overall unlevel lawn - let alone the grading being non-existent. I took it as the downside of having a large tree removed and reached back out to them to get a quote on having everything gone over again in addition to other work - fully expecting to pay for the service. They were quick to respond and come out to get a quote. Larry was very friendly and got everything down for additional work while stating the original work would be covered and done free of charge. That was a great relief to hear ... except that was the last I heard. I have called the numbers I had previously several times across three weeks and left messages with no response. I left 1 star for work quality and value since they performed some work. I left a half star for customer service since they were friendly when dealing with them, but there was ZERO follow-up and have now been ghosted. Shameful way to reconcile an issue by offering to guarantee work and then disappear. -UPDATE: I was contacted by Quality Lawn Care to schedule the work as the rain continuously delayed schedules and they had to wait on the dirt to finish the landscaping. After a few weeks, we were able to get someone out and they completed the grading with fill dirt. I will have to rake the spots in the lawn that were filled as it contains a lot of rocks and asphalt chunks that I do not want to hit with my mower. I watered everything multiple times a day per their instruction, but grass is not growing in the spots that were fixed - likely due to the dirt condition. That said, I have revised my ratings accordingly."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Skipping the mandatory 811 utility call creates massive safety hazards. Homeowners also mistakenly begin excavating without securing the required grading or foundation permits. Another major mistake involves using native TN clay as backfill, which shrinks and swells seasonally, causing structural settlement. Failing to install proper erosion controls, like silt fencing, leads to severe sediment runoff during rainstorms. Always check local floodplain restrictions before digging near lakes or river tributaries.

Helpful?

After finishing excavating, schedule a final inspection with local authorities to close out your permits. Keep your 811 utility documentation handy. Because Loudon has heavy clay soils, stabilize the ground immediately with silt fencing or hydroseeding to prevent erosion. Verify that the new grading directs water away from your foundation. Finally, monitor the backfilled soil for settling through one full seasonal cycle before adding any permanent hardscaping over the area.

Helpful?

Directing downspouts toward newly graded areas concentrates water flow and accelerates erosion. Parking heavy vehicles over recently backfilled zones causes uneven settling in Loudon clay soils, which destroys drainage slopes. Planting deep-rooted trees near utility trenches leads to severe root intrusion over time. Additionally, neglecting to clear sediment buildup from your French drains after heavy rain effectively ruins your previous excavating efforts by allowing water to pool around your property.

Helpful?

Address poor yard drainage first. The combination of TN rainfall and clay soils makes installing French drains or swales an urgent priority. Next, inspect your private septic system, as excavating is necessary for drain field evaluations or tank repairs. You should also consider foundation drainage improvements to protect your crawl space from moisture intrusion. Finally, plan for utility line trenching if you need to connect to municipal water or sewer services.

Helpful?

General contractors handle site clearing, trenching, and earthmoving for residential projects. Septic system installers specialize in soil evaluation and drain field excavating. Site grading specialists manage slope stability across the hilly Loudon terrain. Utility contractors safely install water, gas, and electrical lines. For complex structural projects near the lake, geotechnical engineers provide essential soil testing. Finally, erosion control specialists install sediment barriers to comply with state stormwater regulations.
