About Pope Construction & Excavation

An East Tennessee excavation and foundation contractor, founded in 2013.

Our Story

Pope Construction & Excavation, Inc. was established in 2013 as a landscaping and hardscaping company. In 2016, a wildfire struck the day after Thanksgiving and destroyed more than 3,000 structures in our home area in East Tennessee.

That changed the company. We moved into insurance and cleanup work, providing demolition services, and then went right back into the community putting in foundations and septic systems. For years, Kyle and his crew worked on the mountainsides, repairing what the fire had torn away. We have continued in that vein from 2016 to today.

Today we provide land clearing, site preparation, excavation, utility work, turnkey foundations, and septic installation for homeowners, builders, and developers across five East Tennessee counties.
