Land Clearing & Grading in Chattanooga

Overgrown brush, tangled vegetation, and uneven terrain stand between you and the outdoor space you envision. Whether you're preparing for new construction, an addition, or a complete landscape overhaul, professional land clearing and grading remove obstacles and establish the foundation for everything that follows.

Evergreen Excavation & Landscaping specializes in clearing wooded and sloped properties throughout Chattanooga and nearby communities. The team combines brush removal, rough grading, and final leveling to create clean, stable surfaces ready for driveways, foundations, lawns, and hardscapes. Local topography—marked by rolling hills, hardwood stands, and variable soil depth—requires equipment and expertise capable of handling both delicate slope work and heavy vegetation removal.

The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation reports that properties with slopes exceeding 15% require engineered erosion control measures during clearing operations. This ensures compliance with stormwater regulations and protects neighboring parcels from sediment runoff.

Chattanooga's landscape features steep grades, dense undergrowth, and seasonal rainfall that can trigger erosion on newly cleared sites. The crew addresses these conditions with strategic clearing sequences, controlled grading passes, and temporary stabilization measures that protect exposed soil until permanent improvements are in place.

Rough grading establishes the overall contour, removing high spots and filling low areas to achieve target elevations. Final leveling fine-tunes slopes for proper drainage—typically a minimum 2% grade away from structures—and prepares surfaces for driveways, foundations, or seeding. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, every 1% increase in slope can double surface water velocity, making precise grading essential for long-term site stability.
