Excavation Contractors in Clarksville, TN

D R Excavation Clarksville offers many services related to excavation, demolition, and construction site preparation. We are a family-owned business that has been serving the Middle Tennessee area for over 20 years. 


We provide construction site preparation services that are crucial to the success of any building project. In order to create a safe and stable foundation for a new structure, we first need to clear the site of any debris, trees, or other obstacles. Once the site is clear, we can begin excavating the area to the appropriate depth. This may involve removing topsoil, bedrock, or other materials in order to reach the desired level.


No matter what method we use, our goal is always the same: to provide our clients with the best possible service. We are committed to safety, quality, and customer satisfaction. We take pride in our work and our commitment to customer satisfaction. We also offer free estimates and consultations.

What We Offer

  • Residential Excavation

    As an excavation contractor in Clarksville, TN, we are often asked what are the most common residential excavation services we offer.


    Residential excavation can encompass a wide range of services, from simple site preparation to more complex foundation work.


    In most cases, we begin by performing a soil test to determine the suitability of the soil for the planned construction.


    Once we have a better understanding of the soil conditions, we can proceed with the excavation. This may involve excavating the entire site or just a portion of it, depending on the project requirements.


    In some cases, we may also need to perform grading or compaction work to ensure that the site is properly prepared for construction.


    Regardless of the scope of the project, our goal is always to provide our clients with quality excavation services that meet their unique needs.

  • Commercial Excavation

    Sitework is a broad term that can encompass many different types of construction projects. In general, sitework refers to any work that needs to be done on a site in preparation for the construction of a new building or other structure. This work can include clearing the land, grading the site, excavating for foundations, and installing utilities. 


    Commercial sitework is typically more complex than site preparation for residential projects, as it often involves working with strict regulations and dealing with a larger scale.


    Site preparation is an essential step in any construction project. It involves clearing the area of debris, leveling the ground, and grading the soil. This work is typically performed by an excavation contractor. We will first assess the site to determine the best way to prepare it for construction. This assessment includes an evaluation of the soil type, slope, and underlying rocks. Once the assessment is complete, we will develop a plan for clearing the site and preparing it for construction. This work is essential for ensuring that the construction project proceeds smoothly and safely.


    At D R Excavation Clarksville, we have the experience and expertise to handle all aspects of commercial sitework, from start to finish. Whether your project entails clearing a large area of land or excavating for a high-rise building, we will ensure that the job is done right.

  • Trenching Contractors

    At D R Excavation Clarksville, we use trenching for a variety of purposes. One of the most common uses for trenching is to install underground utilities such as water and sewer lines.


    Trenching is also often used to excavate foundations for new construction projects.


    In addition, we often use trenching to repair existing infrastructure that has been damaged by age or inclement weather. Whether we're installing new utilities or repairing old ones, trenching is a vital part of our work.


    It allows us to safely and efficiently excavate the ground without damaging existing structures or disrupting surrounding traffic.


    As a result, it's one of the most common services we provide as excavation contractors.

  • Septic Installation

    The process of septic installation can vary somewhat depending on the specific location and type of septic system being installed. However, there are some general steps that are followed in most cases.


    First, we will dig a hole for the septic tank - then install the tank and connect it to the rest of the system. After that, we will backfill the hole and compact the soil.


    Finally, we install a grass or other vegetative cover over the area to help prevent erosion. In some cases, additional steps may be necessary, such as installing a leach field or connecting to a city sewer line. However, these are generally the basic steps involved in the septic installation.


    At D R Excavation, we take care of your septic tank installation needs. We have been in the business for over 20 years and are fully licensed, bonded, and insured.


    Our technicians are highly trained and experienced so you can rest assured that your septic tank installation will be done correctly.

  • Site Preparation

    One of the most important aspects of any construction project is site preparation. This process ensures that the building site is level and stable, making it safe and ready for construction to begin.


    Site preparation typically begins with a topographic survey, which helps excavation contractors to map the contours of the land. This information is then used to create a grading plan, which outlines how the land should be excavated and graded in order to achieve the desired result.


    The next step is to remove any existing vegetation or debris from the building site. This can be done manually or with heavy machinery, depending on the size of the job. Once the site is cleared, it needs to be leveled off using a variety of techniques, such as grading, tamping, and compacting. The final step is to install any necessary drainage or utility lines before construction can begin.


    We insure that your project is done correctly the first time around and that it's completed on schedule. We have an experienced team of professionals who can handle any size job, from a small residential lot too large commercial construction sites. If you're ready to get started on your excavation project, contact us today! We'll be happy to provide you with a free estimate!

  • Basement Excavation

    Excavating a basement is a big job, but it's one that we as experienced excavation contractors can handle with ease.


    We do it by digging a hole for the foundation. This hole will need to be wide and deep enough to accommodate the foundation and any other structural elements that will be going into the basement. Once the hole is dug, the next step is to pour the concrete foundation, the walls can be built up using either block or poured concrete.


    Finally, the floor can be poured and the basement can be finished off according to the homeowner's specifications. Excavating a basement is a complex process, but with the help of D R Excavation Clarksville, it can be done quickly and efficiently.


    Make sure to try our services once and you will never have to look for any other service provider in the future. We are a team of highly skilled professionals who can help you with all your excavation problems and requirements.

  • Lot Clearing

    Land clearing is the process of removing trees, brush, and other obstructions from a piece of land.


    This can be done for a variety of reasons, including preparing the land for building construction or farming.


    Land clearing is different from land thinning, which is the process of selectively removing trees to improve the growth of the remaining trees. Land clearing typically involves the use of heavy machinery, such as bulldozers and excavators.


    This equipment is necessary to remove large trees and other obstacles from the land. As excavation contractors in Clarksville TN, we have the experience and expertise to safely and efficiently clear your land.


    We will work with you to determine the best way to clear your land, based on your specific needs and goals. Contact us today to learn more about our land clearing services.

  • Grading & Leveling

    Grading is the process of leveling and shaping the land. It's usually done in preparation for construction, but it can also be used to improve drainage and create a solid foundation for landscaping.


    There are several different types of grading, but the most common are sloped level, and contour.


    Sloped grading is used to create a slope for drainage or to create terraces. Level grading is used to create a flat surface.


    Contour grading is used when you need to follow the natural contours of the land. At D R Excavation Clarksville, we can do all types of grading.


    We have the equipment and experience to get your land ready for construction, or to make it more functional once you've built your home.

  • Footing Excavation

    We use a variety of methods to excavate footings, depending on the project requirements. One common method is to use an excavator, which is a large piece of machinery with a bucket that can be used to dig up the soil and load it into trucks.


    Excavators are typically used for large-scale projects, such as digging trenches for pipelines. For smaller projects, hand excavation may be used. This involves using tools such as shovels and picks.


    Footings excavation is an important process in construction, as it allows for the placement of vital foundation elements. Without proper excavation, buildings and other structures would not be able to support themselves.


    As such, excavation contractors play a crucial role in ensuring that construction projects are completed properly.

  • Culvert Installation

    As an excavation contractor in Clarksville, TN, we often get asked about the installation of culvert pipes. While every job is unique, there are some common challenges that we face when excavating for culverts.


    First of all, it's important to make sure that the pipe is properly supported. This includes ensuring that the pipe is level and that there is enough space around it for any soil or debris that might be displaced during the excavation process.


    Secondly, we have to be careful not to damage the pipe during excavation. This can be a challenge, particularly with larger pipes. Finally, we have to be aware of the different types of culvert pipes available. There are many different sizes and shapes of culvert pipes on the market, and it's important to choose the right one for the job at hand. With careful planning and execution, however, these challenges can be overcome successfully.


    With us, you can be sure that your excavation project is in good hands. We have the experience and expertise necessary to get the job done right, so call us today for a free estimate!

  • Drainage Excavation

    We understand the importance of proper drainage for any property. That's why we approach every excavation project with a focus on ensuring proper drainage.


    To do this, we use a variety of processes and materials. First, we conduct a thorough evaluation of the property to identify any potential problem areas. Then, we create a plan to address drainage in those areas, using the most effective methods and materials for the specific situation.


    In some cases, this might involve installing drains or French drains. In other cases, it might involve regrading the land to improve the flow of water. Regardless of the approach, our goal is always the same: to ensure that your property has proper drainage that will protect it from damage and keep it looking its best. We only use the most effective methods and materials for your situation, so you can be sure of getting the results you need.


    We are committed to providing quality work at a fair price, which is why we are the first choice for so many in Clarksville and beyond.

  • Foundation Excavation

    Excavating for a new foundation is a critical step in the construction process. In order to ensure a solid foundation, we take care to remove all of the loose soil and debris from the site. This can be done using a variety of methods, but the most common method is to use an excavator.


    The excavator will dig down to the desired depth and then remove all of the loose soil and debris. Once the excavation is complete, then we will install the forms for the foundation and pour concrete into the hole.


    The key to success in foundation excavation is to ensure that all of the loose soil and debris are removed from the site before pouring the concrete. By taking these precautions, we can ensure that the foundation will be strong and durable.


    We are always available to answer any questions that you might have about foundation excavation. With all our services, we guarantee that you will be 100% satisfied with the results.
