Local service
Proudly serving Church Hill
Church Hill sits on a ridge between the Holston River and the hills, with a mix of older homes and new development. The ground here is a mix of clay and rock, so digging for footers and site prep takes a machine that can handle hard material. The town's growth means there's steady work for new foundations, and the older properties along the river need drainage and pond work to keep the water moving.
We load up the excavator and head over from Eidson, about 30 minutes, and we work on your land. We bring the machine, the hand tools, and the know-how to get the job done without tearing up more than we need to. We keep the site tidy, pile the spoils where you want them, and leave the place ready for the next trade or the next rain.
Dads Excavations works across Eidson, TN and the surrounding area, so a crew is never far from Church Hill. Call (423) 923-3892 or request a free estimate and we’ll come out and take a look.

What Church Hill customers call us for
Site prep
For new builds and additions on Church Hill's sloped lots, we clear, grub, and grade the pad so the foundation sits on solid, level ground.
Footers
We dig footer trenches to the engineer's specs, cutting through the clay and rock to the right depth, with clean, straight walls.
Pond digging
We dig ponds for livestock, irrigation, or just for looks, working with the natural drainage so the water stays where you want it.
Drainage
We dig out wet areas and install French drains or swales to carry water away from foundations and low spots.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in Church Hill
Foundation trench digging
We dig the trenches for the footings, checking the depth and slope as we go, and leave them ready for the concrete pour.
Pond excavation
We dig the pond out to the shape you want, benching the sides and compacting the bottom to help it hold water.
Where we work
Across Church Hill
Downtown
Behind the Main Street buildings, we dig footers for additions and small projects, working in tight spaces and watching out for buried utilities.
Ridge top
Up on the ridge, we do site prep and footer work for new homes, cutting through the rocky ground to get a level base.
River bottoms
Along the river, we dig ponds and drainage channels, making sure the work can handle the high water that comes with heavy rain.
Before work starts
Permits & local rules in Church Hill
Local rules vary by street
What is allowed in one part of Church Hill is not always allowed in the next, and the rules change. We check what applies to your address before the work is booked rather than assuming.
Permits, when they are needed
Not every job needs one. When yours does, we tell you at the quote stage, what it is for, who applies for it, and how long it usually adds, instead of discovering it halfway through.
