Excavation and Land Clearing
Tennessee’s fastest growing county demands professional excavation services that can keep pace. S and S Excavation serves Murfreesboro, Smyrna, La Vergne, and Eagleville with the equipment and experience to handle rapid development.
Excavation for Tennessee’s Fastest Growth
Rutherford County is the fastest growing county in Tennessee and one of the fastest growing in the entire southeastern United States. Murfreesboro, the county seat and home to Middle Tennessee State University, has seen explosive residential and commercial development over the past decade. Smyrna and La Vergne, positioned along the I-24 corridor closer to Nashville, have experienced similar growth. Even rural Eagleville in the county’s southwestern corner is feeling the development pressure.
This growth creates enormous demand for professional excavation, land clearing, and site preparation services. New subdivisions, commercial centers, industrial parks, and infrastructure projects are breaking ground across Rutherford County every week. S and S Excavation and Hauling serves this dynamic market from our base in Manchester, bringing veteran-owned reliability and competitive pricing to one of the most active construction markets in the state.
We work with homeowners, builders, and developers throughout Rutherford County. Whether you need a single residential lot cleared and graded in Murfreesboro, a multi-acre commercial site prepared near I-24, or farmland cleared for a new subdivision outside Eagleville, we have the equipment and the expertise to deliver on time and on budget. The Stones River, which winds through the county, and the varied terrain from flat farmland to rolling hills near the county’s southern border mean every project requires site-specific planning.

We Know Rutherford County
Rutherford County’s transformation from a primarily agricultural county to one of Tennessee’s major population centers has happened remarkably fast. Murfreesboro now ranks as one of the largest cities in the state, and the development pipeline shows no signs of slowing. Middle Tennessee State University, Nissan’s Smyrna manufacturing plant, and the county’s position along the Nashville-Chattanooga I-24 corridor continue to drive growth.
For excavation contractors, this growth means working in an environment where schedules are tight, development standards are high, and coordination with other trades is essential. S and S Excavation understands this dynamic. We show up when we say we will, complete the work to specification, and move efficiently so the next phase can begin on time.
The Stones River Greenway, Murfreesboro’s historic downtown square, and the Stones River National Battlefield are landmarks that define Rutherford County’s identity even as the county grows. New development near these features requires contractors who understand both construction requirements and community sensitivity. We approach every Rutherford County project with professionalism and respect for the surrounding environment.
Whether your project is a residential lot in one of Murfreesboro’s new neighborhoods, a commercial site along Medical Center Parkway, or rural acreage near Eagleville being prepared for its next chapter, S and S Excavation is ready. Check our project gallery or call (931) 636-7713 today.
