About S and S
Excavation and Hauling
Veteran-owned. Owner-operated. Built on 10+ years of forestry mulching, excavation, and land clearing experience across Middle Tennessee.
Talk to the OwnerThe Origin
S and S Excavation and Hauling started with a forestry mulcher and a simple idea: do the hard work yourself, do it right, and earn every dollar. Based out of Manchester, Tennessee, the company was founded by a veteran who brought military discipline to the dirt work industry. No office managers, no sales teams, no runaround. When you call S and S Excavation, the person who answers is the same person who shows up to your property with the equipment.
The business began with forestry mulching — clearing overgrown land, removing brush, and transforming neglected properties into usable ground. That first mulcher was the foundation. Over time, as clients kept asking for more, the operation expanded into full excavation, grading, site preparation, demolition, and hauling. But the core never changed: one owner, one crew, one standard of work.
Growing up in Middle Tennessee, the owner understood the land — the rocky clay soil of Coffee County, the rolling terrain of Bedford and Franklin Counties, the challenges of building on Tennessee hillsides. That local knowledge combined with veteran-trained work ethic created something different from the typical excavation contractor. No shortcuts. No excuses. Just results you can see from the road.
Today, S and S Excavation and Hauling serves a 200-mile radius from Manchester, covering eight counties and more than thirty cities across Middle Tennessee. The company operates a fleet of excavators, mulchers, skid steers, and hauling trucks — all maintained to military standards. Every project, from a residential lot clearing to a commercial site development, gets the same level of attention and discipline.
Core Values
Veteran Discipline
Military service taught structure, accountability, and follow-through. Those principles apply to every excavation project S and S takes on. The work gets done on schedule, on budget, and to specification. No exceptions.
Owner-Operated Accountability
There is no middle management at S and S Excavation. The owner oversees every project personally. When you have a question, you get an answer from the person who actually runs the equipment. That direct accountability means problems get solved on the spot, not after a chain of phone calls.
Honest Pricing
Every estimate is straightforward. S and S Excavation provides detailed quotes that explain exactly what the work involves and what it costs. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no bait-and-switch tactics. The price you are quoted is the price you pay.
Local Knowledge
Working across Coffee, Bedford, Franklin, Warren, Cannon, Rutherford, Grundy, and Moore Counties means understanding the specific soil conditions, drainage patterns, and terrain challenges of each area. That local expertise prevents costly mistakes and keeps projects moving efficiently.
Equipment Investment
Properly maintained equipment does better work and breaks down less. S and S invests in quality machinery and maintains it rigorously. That means fewer delays on your project and cleaner results on your property. The fleet includes excavators, forestry mulchers, skid steers, and haul trucks.
Community First
S and S Excavation is rooted in Manchester and Middle Tennessee. The company supports local suppliers, hires local when expanding crews, and treats every property — residential or commercial — as if it were in their own neighborhood. This is home, and every project reflects that commitment.
Our Journey
Forestry Mulching Roots
Started with a single forestry mulcher clearing overgrown properties in Coffee County. The work was simple but demanding — transforming dense brush into clean, usable land one acre at a time. Word spread through Manchester and surrounding communities.
Expanding Into Full Excavation
As clients requested more than mulching, S and S added excavation equipment. Digging foundations, trenching utilities, grading lots — the company expanded from land clearing into comprehensive site work. The first excavator changed the scope of what was possible.
Serving Eight Counties
The service area expanded from Coffee County to cover Bedford, Franklin, Warren, Cannon, Rutherford, Grundy, and Moore Counties. The 200-mile radius from Manchester meant more projects, more challenges, and more trust from property owners across Middle Tennessee.
Full-Service Site Work
Today S and S Excavation and Hauling offers 13 services — from forestry mulching and bush hogging to commercial excavation, demolition, paving, and site development. The same veteran discipline that started this company drives every project. Over a decade of experience. Thousands of acres cleared, graded, and prepared across Tennessee.
