Rutherford Excavation Services
S and S Excavation and Hauling provides professional excavation and land clearing services to the Rutherford community and the surrounding area. This small, unincorporated community sits in the rural stretches between the faster-growing cities of Rutherford County, where open farmland and wooded tracts still define the landscape. As residential development pushes outward from Murfreesboro and Smyrna, the Rutherford area sees increasing demand for lot preparation, driveway construction, and land clearing from property owners who want to build on their rural acreage.
The terrain around the Rutherford community features the rolling limestone hills and cedar-studded ridgelines typical of central Rutherford County. Properties here often sit on mixed soil, with pockets of fertile farmland in the valleys and rocky clay on the higher ground. Our operators understand these conditions and adjust their approach based on what the ground presents. Whether you are digging a basement in limestone or grading a driveway through clay, we bring the right equipment and the experience to handle it efficiently.
Many of our clients in the Rutherford area are first-time landowners building their dream home on a few acres, or long-time residents finally developing a section of family property. These projects require the full range of our services: clearing timber, removing stumps, rough grading the building pad, cutting and grading the driveway, and sometimes constructing a pond or improving drainage on the low spots. We handle every step so you deal with one contractor, one point of contact, and one consistent standard of work.
