Customers say: True professional

"When we called Smoky Top Contractors we were treated with respect with an ambitious and "we will do it all" attitude. When we met with with them in person we knew that they were the company that we wanted to do our major landscape, hardscape, and driveway pavers... and their bid for the job solidified our decision. From the landscape architect, the renderings, the blueprints, the immediate communication all the way to that last minute of work was a positive experience for such an extensive project. Mike and his sons and other workers worked hard from the moment they arrived until they left and their final product was second to none. We have another major project to do in the near future, and we undoubtedly know that Smoky Top Contractors will be our only phone call."

"Clayton is the best out there. In a time where just getting someone to show up is half the battle, he goes above and beyond. He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things. He kept us updated on the timing of our project. The construction field is very busy at the moment, but he made sure to let us know when plans had to change due to weather and supply issues. He accepts nothing less than perfection and left our property spotless, unlike contractors in the past."

"Top Tier Construction installed 1,900 sq ft of floating floor for us and did an outstanding job. They were cost-effective, friendly, and their communication was excellent from start to finish—clear timelines, quick responses, and no surprises. The Tim arrived on time, worked efficiently with great attention to detail, and left everything clean. Project finished on schedule and on budget. Highly recommend Top Tier Construction!"

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Knoxville, TN

You can excavate in winter, but frozen soil slows down the process and increases labor costs. Many grading companies offer discounted rates during their off-season, so ask for a winter quote and weigh the savings against a longer timeline. A brief conversation with a local professional will help determine whether cold-weather excavation is suitable for your site.

Foundation digs can be completed in as little as three days or take up to three weeks. Soil density, access, weather, and hidden obstacles all play a role, so every timeline is a bit different. Have your contractor walk the site and flag any potential issues early—clear expectations help keep both the schedule and budget on track.

You must always call 811 before excavating. Dial 811 a few days in advance so that utility crews can mark underground lines and ensure the area is safe for digging. Hitting a buried cable or gas pipe can be both dangerous and expensive, and many municipalities will not issue permits unless the site is flagged correctly.

To remove soil during an excavation project, your crew will load the spoil into dump trucks with a backhoe or excavator, haul it to a disposal site, and return for the next load. Efficient hauling keeps the work zone clear and the project moving. Depending on the site and volume of osil, multiple trucks may rotate to maintain a steady flow.
