Excavation Services for Rural Tennessee
Cannon County is one of Middle Tennessee’s most picturesque rural counties. The rolling hills between Woodbury and Auburntown, the creek-cut hollows running through the countryside, and the small farms that dot the landscape give this area a character that has attracted artists, craftspeople, and families looking for a quieter pace of life. The Arts Center of Cannon County in Woodbury has put this small community on the cultural map, and the county’s natural beauty continues to draw new residents.
S and S Excavation and Hauling provides the full range of excavation and land clearing services that Cannon County property owners need. Whether you are building a new home on a hilltop lot overlooking the Stones River valley, clearing overgrown pastureland on a family farm, or preparing a site for a workshop or barn, we bring professional-grade equipment and veteran-trained work ethic to every Cannon County project.
Our Manchester base is a short drive from Woodbury and the surrounding Cannon County communities. We know the terrain here well. The county’s rolling topography, creek bottoms, and mixed hardwood and cedar forests present specific challenges that require experienced operators. Cannon County soil conditions range from deep creek-bottom loam to rocky hillside clay, and each type demands a different approach to excavation, grading, and clearing work.

We Know Cannon County
Cannon County retains a rural character that many Middle Tennessee counties have lost to development. The Stones River and its tributaries wind through the county, creating fertile bottomland and scenic hollows. Small farms, woodlots, and homesteads define the landscape. Woodbury, the county seat, serves as the hub for a community that values craftsmanship, creativity, and connection to the land.
The Arts Center of Cannon County has put Woodbury on the map as a destination for performing arts and traditional crafts. This cultural identity attracts people who want to build a life in a community that values quality and authenticity. When these newcomers need land cleared for a home site or a driveway graded through hilly terrain, they need a contractor who shares those values.
The terrain in Cannon County is not flat. Rolling hills, creek crossings, and steep-sided hollows make many properties challenging to develop without experienced help. Cedar trees grow thick on abandoned pastures, and hardwood forests cover the hillsides. Our forestry mulcher and excavation equipment are perfectly suited for the type of clearing and site preparation that Cannon County properties require.
We also understand that Cannon County landowners often want to preserve the character of their property while developing specific areas. We are not a clear-everything operation. We work with you to clear what needs clearing while protecting the trees, views, and features you want to keep. Visit our project gallery or call (931) 636-7713 to start your project.
Cannon County Excavation FAQ
Do you build driveways on hilly Cannon County properties?
Yes. Driveway construction on hilly terrain is one of our most common Cannon County projects. We clear the route, grade for proper drainage, and lay gravel or prepare for paving. We design driveways that handle the county’s steep grades and heavy rainfall without washing out.
Can you clear land for a homestead in Cannon County?
Absolutely. Many Cannon County customers hire us to prepare homestead properties, including clearing a building site, grading for a home and outbuildings, creating garden areas, and building access roads. We understand the homesteading approach and can phase the work to match your timeline and budget.
How far do you travel to reach Cannon County?
Our base in Manchester is approximately 30 minutes from Woodbury and most Cannon County locations. This proximity means reasonable mobilization costs and the ability to start quickly once your project is approved.
What does forestry mulching cost in Cannon County?
Forestry mulching costs depend on vegetation density, terrain difficulty, and acreage. Cannon County properties with thick cedar growth on hilly terrain may cost more per acre than flat land with light brush. Contact us at (931) 636-7713 for a free on-site quote so we can give you an accurate price for your specific property.
Can you dig ponds on Cannon County properties?
Yes, we construct farm ponds and recreational ponds throughout Cannon County. The soil conditions in different parts of the county vary, so we evaluate your site to determine the best location and design for water retention. Some hillside locations are ideal for ponds that fill from natural springs and runoff.
Do you remove old barns and structures?
We do. Many Cannon County farms have aging barns, sheds, and outbuildings that need to come down. We handle the complete demolition process including teardown, debris removal, and site cleanup. If the structure contains materials you want to salvage, we can work around that.
