Why Choose Pope Construction & Excavation?

A hands-on East Tennessee crew that takes the details seriously

  • Turnkey, From Clearing Through Foundation

    We clear the lot, prepare the site, dig the footers, and build the foundation, so you are not handing your project off from contractor to contractor.

  • Customer Service First

    Kyle Pope would rather walk away from money than leave a customer feeling like they did not get our best. Quality work and straight communication are the standard.

  • Equipment That Works Efficiently

    For clearing, we run one large, efficient machine instead of several small ones, which can mean fewer days on site.

  • Rooted in East Tennessee Since 2013

    Based in Sevierville, we know the hillsides, the rock, and the soil that come with building in the Smoky Mountain foothills.

  • Emergency Utility Response

    When a main water line breaks, we offer emergency utility service with the equipment and crew to dig and repair it.

Meet the Owner, Kyle Pope

Kyle has been in the field since 2013, delivering the precision, safety, and reliability a project demands. He is a partner for developers, builders, and property owners who need site preparation and earthmoving done right the first time.

After the 2016 wildfires, Kyle and his crew spent years working the hillsides of East Tennessee, repairing and rebuilding. That experience shaped how we work today.
