Grading and Excavating Services
for Middle TN Homes
Proper land grading and excavation are essential for protecting your home and maintaining a usable yard in Middle Tennessee. When soil is uneven, slopes are incorrect, or landscape drainage is poor, homeowners often deal with standing water, erosion, muddy areas, and long term damage around the foundation. Professional grading corrects these issues by shaping the land so water flows away from the home and the ground remains stable.
We handle the essential dirt work homeowners commonly need, including:
- Regrading uneven soft, or rutted areas that collect water or become muddy
- Creating proper slope away from the home to improve landscape drainage
- Installing French drains, drainage ditches, drainage tile, and wells to move water away from foundations and low areas
- Preparing ground for home additions, sheds, pools, and other structures
- Shaping yards to control surface runoff, reduce erosion, and improve long term maintenance
Our team evaluates elevations, drainage patterns, and how your property is used to create a grading plan that solves problems now and supports future improvements. We use equipment sized for residential properties, allowing us to work efficiently while minimizing disruption to the rest of your yard.
The result is a properly graded property that drains better, holds up through heavy rain, and is ready for whatever comes next.

How much does land clearing cost in Middle TN?
In Tennessee, land clearing typically runs about $1,300–$4,500 per acre. Light brush and small trees fall on the low end (roughly $500–$1,500 per acre), while heavy wooded lots with large trees and stump removal can run $3,000–$5,000+ per acre. Access, terrain, and how the debris is handled all move the number. We give you a firm price after walking the site.
How much does yard grading cost?
Most residential grading jobs run about $800–$4,000 depending on how much dirt has to move and how rough the site is. Larger or steeper sites with hauling cost more. We quote it after seeing the property.
What does grading actually do for my property?
Grading shapes the ground so water drains away from your home and structures instead of pooling or running toward the foundation. Good grading is the foundation of a dry, usable yard, and the cause of most water problems when it's done wrong.
Can you prep a site for a new build, pool, or addition?
Yes. We handle site prep, excavation, and rough and finish grading for new construction, pools, additions, and outbuildings.
Do you haul away dirt, brush, and debris?
Yes. We can remove and haul off cleared material and excess soil, or relocate it on-site if that works better for your project. We'll lay out the options in your estimate.
How long does a clearing or grading job take?
A typical residential job runs anywhere from a day to a week depending on acreage, tree density, and weather. We give you a realistic timeline before we start and keep you posted if conditions change.
Will clearing my lot cause erosion?
It can if it's not managed, which is why we plan grading and drainage alongside clearing, and can add erosion control measures to keep soil in place after the work is done.
