Excavation & Site Work Services

Our original service and still one of the most requested. Forestry mulching uses a specialized mulching head to grind standing trees, brush, and undergrowth into mulch — leaving the soil intact and the land ready for its next purpose. This method is faster and more environmentally responsible than traditional clearing methods that involve burning or hauling debris. S and S handles everything from quarter-acre residential lots to large multi-acre tracts of dense overgrowth across Coffee County and all of Middle Tennessee.

General excavation services for residential and light commercial projects. We dig foundations, trenches, basements, ponds, and drainage systems. Our hydraulic excavators handle the rocky clay soil common across Middle Tennessee with precision. Whether you need a simple trench or a full foundation excavation, S and S delivers clean cuts and accurate depths on every project.

Large-scale excavation for commercial construction projects including retail, office, warehouse, and multi-unit developments. S and S coordinates with builders and general contractors to ensure excavation integrates smoothly with the overall construction timeline. We handle mass earth moving, pad preparation, parking lot subgrade, and utility trenching for commercial sites.

Heavy-duty excavation for industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and large infrastructure projects. Industrial excavation demands precise grade control, large volume earth moving, and strict adherence to engineering specifications. S and S brings the equipment capacity and operational discipline required for industrial-scale earthwork.

Complete site preparation to get your land ready for construction. Site prep includes clearing vegetation, removing stumps and debris, rough grading, establishing drainage, and compacting subgrade. S and S prepares residential lots, commercial parcels, and agricultural land to meet builder specifications and local code requirements.

Bush hogging for overgrown fields, pastures, fence lines, and vacant lots. Our rotary cutters handle tall grass, saplings, light brush, and weeds up to several inches in diameter. This service is popular with landowners maintaining large acreage, property managers clearing vacant lots, and farmers keeping fence lines and field edges clean throughout the growing season.

Full land clearing that removes trees, stumps, brush, rocks, and debris to create clean, usable property. Unlike forestry mulching which grinds material in place, land clearing involves complete removal of all vegetation and organic material — ideal for construction sites that require bare soil and clean subgrade.

Precision grading for proper drainage, level building pads, and finished yard surfaces. S and S handles rough grading for construction, fine grading for sod and landscaping, driveway grading, and drainage swale shaping. Proper grading prevents water pooling, foundation damage, and erosion — it is one of the most critical steps in any site work project.

Ongoing land management services for property owners who need regular maintenance of large tracts. This includes periodic bush hogging, brush control, access road maintenance, drainage management, and erosion prevention. S and S offers annual and seasonal maintenance plans to keep your property accessible, safe, and productive.

Driveway paving, concrete flatwork, parking areas, and access road surfacing. S and S handles the complete process from subgrade preparation through final surfacing. Our paving and concrete work complements our excavation services — allowing property owners to go from raw land to finished driveway or parking area with one contractor.

Structural demolition for buildings, barns, sheds, foundations, slabs, and other structures that need to come down. S and S handles the complete demolition process including teardown, debris hauling, and site cleanup. Our excavators make quick work of demolition projects while maintaining control and safety on site.

Underground utility installation including water lines, sewer lines, storm drains, and utility trenching. S and S digs and installs utility runs to code specifications, coordinating with plumbers, electricians, and municipal inspectors as needed. Utility trenching requires precision to avoid existing infrastructure — experience and careful planning prevent costly mistakes.

Complete site development from raw land to build-ready surface. This comprehensive service combines clearing, excavation, grading, utility trenching, and access road construction into a single coordinated project. S and S manages the full scope of site work — ideal for developers, builders, and property owners who need one contractor to handle everything from first tree to final grade.
