About us
Family-owned excavation rooted in Etowah, Tennessee — nearly three decades of dirt work you can trust.
Our story
Garner Construction & Excavating, LLC is a family-owned excavation company based at 415 County Road 527, Etowah, Tennessee. Owner Chuck has built a reputation for straightforward, no-nonsense site work across East Tennessee — roughly 28 years in the business.
We dig for homes, businesses, and industry: grading, re-sloping, site prep, drainage, and septic systems. The fleet is primarily Caterpillar equipment with Topcon GPS machine control, so grades stay accurate and jobs stay efficient.
Customers know Garner for solid reviews and an A+ BBB standing. We keep the focus on doing the work right — not on flashy marketing. This website is part of bringing that same honesty online.
Keith Mott
Salesperson & Project Manager
Keith is a licensed contractor in the Knoxville area. He turns property ideas into a plan — sales, project management, quotes, and follow-ups — so Chuck can focus on the field. On site visits he uses drone footage to help clients visualize what’s possible, from large-scale land developments to private lakes and ponds.
