Tracy City Excavation Services
S and S Excavation and Hauling provides professional excavation and land clearing services to Tracy City and the surrounding Grundy County mountain communities. This historic plateau town sits along Highway 41 between Monteagle and Altamont, with a heritage rooted in coal mining, coke production, and the Swiss German settlers who built the community in the 1800s. Today Tracy City is a gateway to Grundy Lakes State Park, the Fiery Gizzard Trail, and some of the most dramatic natural scenery in Tennessee. Our crew brings the mountain terrain experience that excavation work in Tracy City demands.
Tracy City sits atop the Cumberland Plateau at roughly 1,900 feet, surrounded by the sandstone gorges and old-growth forests that draw hikers from across the Southeast. The town itself occupies relatively level plateau ground, but properties on the edges of town quickly transition to steep terrain along the Fiery Gizzard Creek drainage and the escarpments that drop toward the Sequatchie Valley. Excavation here means working with sandstone bedrock that can appear just inches below the thin mountain soil, and managing water runoff on terrain where a heavy rain can move significant amounts of earth.
The Grundy Lakes area south of town, with its historic coke ovens and swimming holes, attracts visitors who then discover the affordable mountain land available in Tracy City. We work with new property owners clearing cabin sites, cutting access drives through wooded parcels, and preparing building pads on the rocky plateau ground. We also serve longtime Tracy City residents with pasture clearing, pond work, and property improvement projects that keep the mountain community thriving.

Yes. We work on private properties throughout the Tracy City area including parcels near Grundy Lakes State Park and along the Fiery Gizzard corridor. We follow responsible land clearing practices that protect the sensitive mountain environment.
How does plateau rock affect excavation costs in Tracy City?

Can you clear land for a cabin near Tracy City?
Absolutely. Cabin site clearing is one of our most common Tracy City projects. We clear trees, manage stumps, prepare a level building pad on the rock, and grade an access driveway. We work efficiently to minimize disturbance to the surrounding forest.
Do you handle drainage work on the plateau?
Yes. Proper drainage is critical on plateau land where heavy rains and shallow bedrock create runoff challenges. We grade ditches, install culverts, and shape the terrain to direct water away from structures and prevent erosion on Tracy City properties.
