Soil Analysis for Confident Construction
Land doesn’t always tell its story at first glance. We’ve developed a specialized
understanding of what soil characteristics typically support conventional septic systems—and where red flags may exist. We help you ask the right questions early, reducing uncertainty and helping you move forward with confidence before major costs are incurred.
Our scientific approach ensures every construction project starts with a rock-solid foundation, reducing surprises down the road.
Our Mission
Clarity Before Commitment
Land can look perfect on the surface—until the soil tells a different story. Our mission is to help people understand what’s happening below ground before they move forward.
Through years of working in the field alongside licensed soil scientists, we’ve gained a deep, practical understanding of how soil characteristics and site conditions can impact the feasibility of conventional septic systems. While we don’t conduct testing ourselves, we help make sense of the information that already exists.
Our role is to simplify the process, highlight potential concerns early, and help you move forward with clearer expectations and fewer surprises.

Comprehensive Soil Analysis
Get a complete picture of what’s happening beneath the surface. We conduct in-depth evaluations of soil, slopes, drainage, and limiting layers so your construction plans are based on facts instead of guesswork.
The Secret Is in The Dirt
1 acre of land can have 3 to 4 different soil types. Don’t get stuck with the soil that won’t allow you to build.

Absorption Rates
Tells the story of the dirt.
Each soil type has its own absorption rate, which plays a major role in:
Whether a septic system is possible.
How many homes or structures the land can support.
What’s realistic for development where no city sewer is available.

Reviews from real builders who trusted our approach:
Jimmy was absolutely awesome during our build and closing of our home ! He was easy to talk to and listened to our concerns during and after closing. His customer service went above and beyond. We had a couple of issues that took time and patience on our end and Jimmy handled those like a pro. I would have no reservations contacting Jimmy if we decided to build again in the future or if I had questions in the building process. His knowledge of land and what it takes to make that land your dream home is second to none.
We highly recommend our realtor Jimmy Pitts, as he is a phenomenal man. When we first met with him, he was very personable and down to earth. From that meeting on, he genuinely listened to all the members of our family, he became familiar with what each of us were looking for in our dream home. It was so refreshing to not have to hear another realtor’s scripted sales pitch or discouraging comments about our goals vs. the treacherous conditions of the housing market. Building between 2021-22 has undeniably been one of the most challenging times. But Jimmy advocated for 14 months to make sure that we all got as close to the house of our dreams as possible. We sent him a detailed list of priorities. He negotiated at least 95% of everything we wanted most, which is just about unheard of right now. Jimmy went above and beyond to get us the perfect floor plan.
May I begin by saying Mr. Pitts is a true Gentleman with an infectious smile with an impeccable sharp mind. He did a wonderful job answering any questions we may have had, and if he did not immediately know the answer, he soon found it. He was with us every step of the way making the purchase of our new home a pleasurable experience. I recommend Mr. Jimmy Pitts to anyone who is looking for a super hero of a Realtor!
As always, Jimmy went above & beyond with the sell of our home & the purchase of our new home. He stayed a step ahead of our anticipations & carried the process to the finish line. Not only that, but always with a smile & a sense of calmness when things became stressful for us. Great experience, from start to finish & we appreciate his dedication & guidance!
My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy Pitts in July of 2019 when we flew from Los Angeles to Nashville to meet with Michael's Homes regarding our new home. Mr. Pitts has done an exemplary job in representing us over the course of this time. He was extremely responsive to our inquiries and was a trusted advisor. He monitored the construction of our home and was always present during meetings with the various superintendents. He provided excellent advice during the entire process and also kept a watchful eye over the entire process. After the sale, he helped us with information regarding utilities, trash, etc.
Jimmy is a champion! He is one of the most dedicated, loyal, and considerate people i know! He's a person who can be counted on in crunch time. He brings stability, wisdom, and insight when most are in crisis mode. Jimmy Pitts ups the game for all around him! He's a model of right character!
