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.
