Road & Parking Lot Base, Done Right
We grade the subgrade, proof roll, lay stone in lifts and compact each layer, with crowns and drains that move water off the surface. We build for the traffic: farm trucks, delivery vans, customers or heavy equipment.
For commercial lots, we coordinate with your paving contractor and engineer so the base meets the specs and the finished lot drains where it should.
Music City Excavation brings road & parking lot base to homes, farms and businesses in Nashville and across 16 Middle Tennessee cities.

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.
How thick should a road base be?
It depends on the soil and the traffic. We look at the site and your use and recommend stone thickness, fabric and drainage, or follow your engineer’s specs.
Can you work with my paving company?
Yes. We coordinate with paving contractors and engineers so the base meets their requirements.
Can I start with gravel and pave later?
Often yes, as long as the base is built right. We can plan it that way from the start.
