Excavation & Site Prep · Brentwood
Excavation & Site Prep for Brentwood properties
Brentwood homeowners call us for footing digs, house and shop pads, grading and drainage. We're a licensed, insured crew with twenty-plus years of experience, and every Brentwood job starts with a free quote.
On the south side of Nashville the lots are established and often sloped, so steps, retaining walls, driveway replacements and drainage do a lot of the work.
A Franklin customer wrote about their driveway grading: “Very nicely done. He was able to do my job the day after I talked to him He went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with his work”
What's included
Excavation & Site Prep we do in Brentwood

Footing and foundation digs
Trenches and holes for footings, stem walls, basements and storm shelters, dug to firm soil and the depth the plans call for.

House, shop and barn pads
Cut and fill to build a level, compacted pad for a new home, garage, shop or pole barn.

Clearing and haul-off
We clear brush, roots and old concrete from the work area and haul off whatever dirt we do not reuse.

Rock and soft spots
When we hit limestone or a soft pocket, we stop, show you what we found and lay out the options before going further.
Williamson County
Excavation & Site Prep around Brentwood
We work all over Brentwood — near Crockett Park and Holt Knobs — and throughout Williamson County.
Brentwood is a Williamson County city just south of Nashville, known for big lots and established neighborhoods. Brentwood is about 19 miles northeast of Spring Hill, well inside our 30-mile service area.
Concrete in Middle Tennessee has to handle clay soil that swells when it's wet and shrinks in a dry August, limestone that's often only a few feet down, freeze-thaw winter nights and heavy spring rain. A slab holds up when it sits on a compacted stone base, has steel where it needs it, sheds water away from the house and has joints cut where cracks are meant to go.

Questions
Excavation & Site Prep in Brentwood: FAQs
Do you do excavation & site prep in Brentwood, TN?
Yes. Brentwood is about 19 miles northeast of Spring Hill, well inside our 30-mile service area. We handle footing digs, house and shop pads, grading and drainage there, and the quote is free.
Do I need a permit for excavation & site prep in Brentwood?
It depends on the project. When one is needed, we pull the permit from the City of Brentwood's building department and build to whatever the permit and inspection require.
What makes excavation in Middle Tennessee different?
Clay and rock. Our clay holds water and turns to mud after heavy rain, so we time digs around the weather and never pour on soft, wet ground. Limestone often turns up shallow and some areas have sinkholes, so we watch for both and adjust before any concrete goes in.
How much does excavation and site prep cost?
It depends on how much dirt moves, whether it stays on site or gets hauled off, how much gravel base the job needs, equipment access and whether we hit rock. Grading a yard is a very different job from cutting a hillside house pad. We give you a free quote after walking the site.
How long does site prep take?
A patio or driveway base can be quick, while house pads and hillside cuts take longer. Rain is the big variable, because wet clay has to dry out before it will compact. We give you a realistic schedule up front, and customers mention how fast we get started.
Do you only dig for your own concrete jobs?
Most of our dirt work is prep for the concrete we pour, which keeps one crew responsible for the whole job. We also take on grading, drainage and pad work on its own for homeowners and builders.
