Yard drainage in Oak Grove, Kentucky

Oak Grove is in southeastern Christian County, Kentucky, with Fort Campbell on its western edge and the Tennessee state line on its southern boundary. It had 7,931 residents at the 2020 census and is part of the Clarksville metro area, so many homeowners here work on post or commute to Clarksville.

Different state, different rules

Because Oak Grove is in Kentucky, Tennessee's contractor licensing rules and TDEC permits don't apply. Kentucky has its own one-call system, Kentucky 811, and the city of Oak Grove and Christian County handle local building and stormwater questions. Ask the contractor which Kentucky rules apply to your job.

Military moves and rentals

Lots of homes here change hands or tenants with PCS moves. If you're buying, ask the inspector to note grading, gutters and crawl space moisture. If you rent the house out, fixing a downspout or grading problem early is cheaper than repairing a damp crawl space between tenants.
