Erosion Control & Stormwater, Done Right
Construction and clearing leave soil exposed, and every storm can send it downhill. We install silt fence, straw wattles, matting, stabilized construction entrances, sediment basins and swales, then maintain and seed them so the site stays stable.
Many projects need an erosion control plan or permit. We build to your plan and help you meet the conditions on your job.
Music City Excavation brings erosion control & stormwater to homes, farms and businesses in Nashville and across 16 Middle Tennessee cities.

Mark, Permit and Prepare
We have underground utilities located, help with the permits and erosion control your project needs and plan where the dirt goes.
Dig, Build and Clean Up
Our crew does the work, keeps the site safe and tidy, restores what we disturb and walks the finished job with you.
Do I need erosion control on my project?
Many sites do, based on size, slope and local rules. We help you check what applies and install what is required.
How long does erosion control last?
It lasts until the ground is stabilized with grass or hardscape. It needs checking after heavy rain, and we can handle upkeep.
Can you fix an eroded slope?
Yes. We regrade, add drainage, stabilize with matting and seed or build a retaining wall if the slope needs it.
