Excavation & Grading Contractors, Done Right
Excavation is more than digging a hole. It is reading the soil, planning where the dirt goes, protecting what is already there and leaving the site stable, drained and ready for whatever comes next. We handle foundations, trenches, pads, ponds, pools and large-scale site work for homes, businesses and farms.
We start by walking the site with you, then match machines and methods to the job, from mini excavators that fit through a gate to full-size excavators and dozers for acreage. You get a straight explanation of the plan, the timeline and the options before any dirt moves.
Music City Excavation brings excavation & grading contractors to homes, farms and businesses in Nashville and across 16 Middle Tennessee cities.

Good to Know
Questions About Excavation & Grading Contractors
Still have a question?
How do I know what size machine my job needs?
It depends on access, soil and scope. We look at gate widths, overhead lines, soil conditions and how much dirt has to move, then recommend the right machines and tell you why.
Do you handle permits and utility locates?
We have underground utilities located before we dig and help with the permits and erosion control your project needs. Requirements vary by city and county, so we confirm them for your address.
What happens to the extra dirt?
We plan that before the job. Often it is reused on site for grading or fill, and when it is not, we haul it away. Your estimate spells out which.
