Land Clearing & Brush Removal, Done Right
We clear with excavators, mulching attachments and chainsaws, choosing the method that fits your land, your goals and the trees you want to keep. Brush is mulched, burned where allowed or hauled, and stumps are pulled or ground.
We plan the clearing around drainage and erosion, because bare soil and heavy rain do not mix. Where you need it, we spread seed and straw and set silt fence so the cleared land stays put.
Music City Excavation brings land clearing & brush removal to homes, farms and businesses in Nashville and across 16 Middle Tennessee cities.

How We Work
Tell Us About Your Project
Call 615-357-7797 or send the form. Tell us what is going on with your land, your house or your plans.
Walk the Site and Plan
We visit, look at the soil, the slope, the access and the water, and give you a clear, free estimate with options.
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.
Can you clear around trees I want to keep?
Yes. We mark the keepers with you before we start and clear carefully around them, protecting roots and trunks.
What do you do with the brush and trees?
It depends on the lot. We can mulch it on site, haul it away or, where local rules allow, burn it. Your estimate says which.
Do I need a permit to clear land?
Rules vary by city and county, and some areas limit clearing near streams or in steep areas. We help you check what applies.
