In the excavation business, experience is measured in two ways: how long you’ve been in business, and how well you know the dirt.
American Excavation & Land Clearing was officially established in 2015, but our roots in this community go back much further. We have lived in Middle Tennessee long before we started the company. We didn't just move here to chase the construction boom; we grew up on this soil.
We know the difference between the limestone ledges in Franklin and the red clay in Spring Hill because we’ve been driving these roads and working this land for decades. When you hire us, you aren't just getting a machine; you're getting a neighbor who is invested in doing the job right.
1. Serving Both Residential Properties and Commercial Projects It is rare to find an excavation company that can handle the scale of commercial work while maintaining the personal touch needed for residential jobs. We are proud to serve both.
Residential Properties: We handle the heavy lifting for homeowners looking to improve their land. Whether you need to restore a rutted gravel driveway, open up a wooded backyard for a swimming pool, or prepare a garden plot, we have you covered. We treat every yard like our own, guaranteeing a clean, professional finish.
Commercial Projects: We partner with general contractors, developers, and business owners. Whether it is site prep for a metal building, trenching for utilities, or grading a large parking lot, we have the capacity and insurance to handle complex commercial scopes.
2. Our Services We aren't a "one-trick pony." We have the equipment to handle the entire lifecycle of your land, from the initial cut to the final grade.
Forestry Mulching: An efficient, eco-friendly method to shred standing brush and cedars, returning nutrients to the soil without causing erosion.
Land Clearing & Excavation: Comprehensive removal of trees and large-scale earthmoving to get your site ready for construction.
Site Prep & Grading: Using laser-guided technology to create perfectly level pads for homes, barns, and commercial foundations.
Stump Grinding: Grinding stumps deep below the surface to eliminate hazards and allow for smooth mowing or building.
Trenching: Precise excavation for water lines, electrical conduits, and gas lines.
Bushhogging & Brush Cutting: Knocking down tall grass and clearing thick overgrowth to restore access to your pastures and property boundaries.
Hauling: We keep a clean site. If dirt, rock, or debris needs to be removed, we load it up and haul it away.
3. Our Service Areas We cover the diverse terrain of Middle Tennessee, from the rocky hills of Williamson County to the rolling farms of Maury County.
4. Specialists, Not Generalists We want to be clear: We are not general contractors. We don't frame houses, and we don't pour concrete.
We are land specialists. By focusing 100% of our energy on excavation and clearing, we ensure that the "canvas" for your project is perfect. A house, barn, or commercial warehouse is only as stable as the ground beneath it. We make sure that ground is solid, level, and well-drained.
5. Reliability You Can Trust Since 2015, we have built our reputation on showing up. In an industry where "ghosting" is common, we pride ourselves on clear communication and reliability. Whether you need a simple stump ground down or a complex commercial site prep, you get the same level of professionalism.
Ready to break ground? Don't trust your land to a stranger. Partner with a team that knows this community and owns the heavy iron to get the job done.
