Excavation & Site Prep · Murfreesboro
Excavation & Site Prep for Murfreesboro properties
Looking for a excavation contractor in Murfreesboro? Spring Hill Concrete Pro is a licensed and insured crew, and Murfreesboro is part of our regular service area, about 29 miles from Spring Hill. We handle footing digs, house and shop pads, grading and drainage.
In the older neighborhoods here, a lot of the work is replacing original driveways, walks and patios that have cracked, heaved or sunk, often between mature trees and in tight spaces.
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”

Rutherford County
Excavation & Site Prep around Murfreesboro
We work all over Murfreesboro — near Old Fort Park, Cannonsburgh Pioneer Village and Stones River Mall and out by The Avenue Murfreesboro and Todds Lake — and throughout Rutherford County.
Murfreesboro is the Rutherford County seat and home to Middle Tennessee State University, at the east edge of our service area. Murfreesboro is about 29 miles east 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 Murfreesboro: FAQs
Do you do excavation & site prep in Murfreesboro, TN?
Yes. Murfreesboro is about 29 miles east 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 Murfreesboro?
It depends on the project. When one is needed, we pull the permit from the City of Murfreesboro's building department and build to whatever the permit and inspection require.
Can you fix a yard that holds water?
Usually, yes. Most standing water comes down to grade, so we reshape the yard to slope away from the house and give the water a path out with a swale or drain pipe. If you are pouring new concrete, fixing the grade first is the best time to do it.
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.
