Excavation in Cleveland, TN

Pullen’s Land Works is based right here in Cleveland, on the southeast side off Hollow View Drive, and this city is where most of our work happens. When your property needs ground moved, water managed, a wall built, or a surface that stays flat through a Tennessee winter, you’re calling a crew that lives on the same clay you do. Call (423) 716-4143. The walk-through is free, the quote is in writing, and the number holds for the conditions we could see.


Cleveland is not one kind of property. It’s the historic homes around Five Points and downtown, the postwar neighborhoods off Ocoee Street, the new subdivisions filling the north side toward Paul Huff Parkway, and rural acreage the moment you cross the APD-40 bypass in any direction. We work all of it every week, and each kind of ground has its own habits. That street-by-street knowledge is exactly what you’re hiring when you go local instead of a crew that drives in from Chattanooga and treats the trip as a favor.

Excavation and grading in Cleveland

Site prep, house pads, land clearing, and the grading corrections that fix wet crawl spaces and rutted drives. Cleveland’s building boom left a lot of rushed dirt work behind, and we spend a good part of every month correcting grades that send water at foundations instead of away from them. If your house is under ten years old and the yard has never drained right, that’s usually a grade that got signed off to pass final inspection, not to survive a wet February. See our full excavation services.

Retaining walls

Block, natural stone, timber, and tiered walls, every one with drainage aggregate and perforated pipe behind the face. Cleveland’s older neighborhoods are a museum of walls built without drainage, leaning at their own pace over the sidewalks. Ours are built for the clay from day one, and we repair the ones still worth saving. Browse our retaining wall services.

Drainage

French drains, surface drainage, catch basins, and diversion, always source-first. City lots concentrate water: roofs, drives, and neighbors all shed onto ground that barely absorbs anything, and the fix starts with finding where yours actually comes from. We trace it back and treat the cause, not just the puddle. That’s our drainage services.

Hardscaping and turf

Paver patios and driveways, walkways, steps, gravel drives, and synthetic turf, all built past the clay on compacted base, which is why they stay flat through freeze-thaw. See our hardscaping services and synthetic turf.

Local ground, street by street

We’ve built and fixed across the city’s named neighborhoods, from the established streets near Lee University to the newer subdivisions along Mouse Creek Road, and the pattern repeats everywhere: properties win or lose on water. The city itself has grown fast, and fast building is exactly where grading shortcuts hide. The public side of stormwater runs through the City of Cleveland Stormwater Utility; everything on your side of the property line is ours to solve.

How hiring us works

First a free walk-through, where we look at the actual ground and tell you what we’d do if it were our property, which is sometimes less than you feared. Then a written quote for the full scope, and the number holds. The same crew that walked your property does the work, and if the ground hides something nobody could have seen, you hear about it before we proceed, never on the invoice. When it’s done, we walk it with you.
