  • Land leveling
  • Soil compaction
  • Building pad grading

Whether we are preparing a new building site or correcting an existing property, our goal is to leave the site properly graded and ready for the next phase of work.

Excavation for Utilities & Drainage

Underground utilities and drainage systems require careful excavation to make sure the site is prepared correctly.


Bass Trucking & Excavating provides trenching and excavation for water, sewer, electric, gas, and other utility systems. We can also assist with storm drainage, water runoff management, retention areas, erosion control, and other drainage-related excavation.


By combining excavation, grading, drainage, and hauling capabilities, we can handle multiple stages of your project without requiring you to coordinate several different contractors.

Agricultural Excavation & Land Improvements

Our excavation experience extends beyond residential and commercial construction. We also work with farms and rural property owners throughout Middle Tennessee.


Agricultural excavation services can include:

Whether you are improving an existing farm or preparing unused acreage for a new purpose, we can help shape your land around the way you need to use it.

Excavation & Hauling From One Local Team

Excavation often means material needs to be brought onto the property or hauled away. Instead of coordinating your excavation work with one company and trucking with another, Bass Trucking & Excavating can handle both.

Our dump truck hauling services can support your excavation project with:

  • Dirt and fill hauling
  • Gravel delivery
  • Sand delivery
  • Topsoil delivery
  • Lime delivery
