Like many of our customers, we were drawn to the beautiful landscape unique to Middle Tennessee. Growing up in Florida and Texas, we fell in love with the rolling hills and majestic scenery that Tennessee offers. We made the leap and purchased 151 acres just south of the quaint little town of Linden, Tennessee in Perry County. Our intention was to build our forever home on our land but when looking for contractors to help us, we couldn't find any who could clear our land in a sustainable, eco-friendly manner with reasonable prices! So many of the contractors we met offered to simply mow down all the trees on our land with bulldozers, and then push that tree debris down into the ravines (called Hollers in Tennessee)! This plan just didn't fit within the vision we had for our land. Disheartened, we were determined to find a way to responsibly clear the land around us while preserving the beautiful nature that drew us to Tennessee.
Instead of giving up, we decided to purchase our own equipment and clear the land ourselves. As we began clearing our own land, we met neighbors and other local acquaintances, who requested help in clearing their land. We soon realized there was a desire in people around us who also wanted a sustainable land clearing solution. We decided to start our own company and we founded Ridge 809 in February 2022.
Like many other land development companies, we often encountered clients who did not have access to city water and needed well water. Unfortunately, water well drilling companies that service Middle, TN are very limited in number, and all have wait lists often ranging from 12-18 months or longer. We hated that we were dependent on these other companies to provide full-service solutions to our clients so we decided to open up a new venture providing water wells across Middle Tennessee and our Drilling Manager, Bradley, brings decades of drilling experience to the company.
We have continued to build partnerships along our journey, and in early 2023, we formed an exclusive partnership with a Licensed Septic Installer (B&B Excavating) allowing us to add that additional service to our clients.
So now that you know a little about us, we would be honored to help you achieve your dreams as well. Please reach out to us for a free land consultation. Please feel free to check out our Gallery as well for pictures and videos of projects we have completed. Thank you and God Bless.
