What we do, in the order it happens

A lot starts as trees and topsoil and ends as a pad you can build on. We do every step, or just the ones you need.

  1. Cat excavator clearing brush and small trees at the edge of a wooded lot

    Land clearing

    Trees, brush and stumps come off first. We clear with excavators and forestry mulching.

  2. Cat excavator digging out soil on a cleared site

    Stripping and undercut

    Topsoil gets stripped. Soil that can't hold up a building or a parking lot is dug out and hauled off.

  3. Dozer spreading red fill dirt at a ball field project in Chattanooga

    Fill and grading

    We bring in fill, spread it, compact it and put building pads and lots on grade.

  4. Rows of large black storm pipe laid on stone in a lined pit

    Storm drainage

    Storm pipe, catch basins and underground chamber systems, set on stone and backfilled.

  5. Green sewer pipe laid on stone in a trench cut through red clay

    Water and sewer

    Sewer lines, manholes, water lines and taps into the main.

  6. Crew member finishing freshly poured concrete beside a building under construction

    Concrete and retaining walls

    Flatwork and walls close out the site. In October we dug for a 15 ft retaining wall in Murfreesboro.

I was having water drainage issues on my property that flooded my garage and basement. Gartman worked with me to come up with a good plan based on what I wanted the look to be. The communication was great, they came when they said they would, the team was very professional and polite and they all worked very hard. I am beyond thrilled with how everything turned out and I will use this company again anytime I need this kind of work. They put in a ditch and a drainage swell, graded my yard and added top soil and sod and put in a bed so I can plant shrubs and flowers. The cost was competitive and I feel like I got a great value for the work.

We tried, in vain, to find an excavator who would come out and remove the trees for us on a weekend. No one would help us! A friend suggested that we call Gartman Landscaping and Excavation. Much to our surprise Silas Gartman answered our call on a Sunday morning and was out on our lot in about an hour with a large excavator, two chainsaws, and a very skilled helper.

Fantastic job on our patio. They fixed our drainage issues, removed a poorly done patio, and installed a top-notch patio. We’ve already enjoyed it and gotten so many compliments. The crew was so courteous and professional and picked up everything when they were done. Definitely would recommend again.

We had Gartman Landscaping replace the deck on the back of our house with a stamped concrete patio. Silas' crew did a great job demoing and hauling away the deck. They poured, stamped, and sealed the patio and we are very happy with the results.

Gartman Landscaping built a brick patio (8’ x 14’) and added a flower bed to one end of the yard and added river rock to a section with drainage issues. I was incredibly pleased with the way the yard turned out. Their crew was so polite and knowledgeable.
