Site Work · Middle Tennessee

Site work, grading & utilities in the Nashville area

We grade, excavate, and install water, sewer, and storm utilities for single-family lots, subdivisions, and developments across Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford, Maury, and Marshall Counties.

Build-Ready Sites

The ground work every project depends on

A house or a subdivision is only as good as the site under it. Our crews handle the grading, excavation, and utility installation that get raw land ready for foundations, roads, and vertical construction.

Because Southern Ridge is also a general contractor and builder, we understand what the next trades need from a finished site: accurate pads, proper drainage, and utilities stubbed where the plans call for them. You can see it on Wildwood Heights, a 48-unit townhome community in Nashville, where our work has included site work and grading along with vertical construction and finishes. The first units are complete and residents have begun moving in.

What We Do

Site work services

From a single lot to a multi-phase development, we self-perform the core site work scope.

01

Grading & Pad Prep

Rough and finish grading, cut and fill, and compacted building pads set to plan so foundations start on solid, level ground with drainage going the right way.

02

Excavation

Excavation for foundations, basements, footings, and utility trenches, with spoil managed on site or hauled off as the job requires.

03

Water & Sewer Lines

Installation of water service and sewer lines, from the tap or main to the building, for individual homes and full subdivision layouts.

04

Storm Drainage

Storm pipe, inlets, and drainage installation that keep water moving off the site and away from foundations.

05

Single-Family Lots

Site prep for custom and spec homes: clearing the way for the build, grading the pad, and running utilities to the house.

06

Subdivisions & Developments

Mass grading and utility installation for townhome communities, subdivisions, and multi-lot developments, phased to keep vertical construction moving.
