McMinnville Excavation Services
S and S Excavation and Hauling provides professional excavation and land clearing services throughout McMinnville and the greater Warren County area. As the county seat and the self-proclaimed Nursery Capital of the World, McMinnville has a unique landscape shaped by decades of nursery operations, agricultural use, and steady commercial growth along the Highway 70S corridor. Our team understands the specific terrain challenges that come with working in this region, from the rocky limestone deposits common near the Collins River to the dense cedar stands that dot the hillsides surrounding town.
McMinnville sits at the western edge of the Cumberland Plateau, where the terrain shifts between rolling hills and flat bottomland along the Barren Fork and Collins River. This geography means excavation projects here often encounter varied soil conditions within a single job site. Whether you are clearing a wooded lot near Rock Island State Park, preparing a commercial pad along Smithville Highway, or grading a new driveway off Shellsford Road, our operators have the local knowledge to handle what the ground throws at them.
The town’s nursery industry drives significant land management needs. Properties that once served as growing fields sometimes need clearing and re-grading for residential development or new commercial ventures. Meanwhile, the growth along the McMinnville square and the expansion of the local hospital district continue to create demand for professional excavation contractors who can deliver on schedule and within budget.
Our Services
Every project in McMinnville gets the same approach: show up on time, communicate clearly, and leave the site better than we found it. Here is what we bring to Warren County properties.
Forestry Mulching
Clear overgrown brush, cedar thickets, and invasive growth without disturbing the topsoil. Ideal for McMinnville properties along the Collins River corridor where erosion control matters. We mulch in place, leaving nutrient-rich ground cover behind. Learn more about forestry mulching.
Excavation
Foundation digs, utility trenching, pond construction, and general earthmoving. Our equipment handles the limestone shelves and clay layers common throughout Warren County. From small residential basements to large commercial pads. Learn more about excavation.
Land Clearing
Full property clearing for new construction, agricultural conversion, or development. We remove trees, stumps, and debris efficiently while preserving the features you want to keep. Learn more about land clearing.
Grading & Site Prep
Proper grading prevents drainage problems and creates level building pads. We handle everything from rough grading on raw land to finish grading for driveways and parking areas in McMinnville’s expanding commercial zones. Learn more about grading.
Demolition
Safe removal of old structures, barns, outbuildings, and concrete. We sort materials for proper disposal and can handle projects from single-structure teardowns to full site demolition across Warren County. Learn more about demolition.
Hauling
Material delivery and debris removal across McMinnville and surrounding areas. Gravel, topsoil, fill dirt, and construction waste. We keep your project moving with reliable hauling on your schedule. Learn more about hauling.
