Land Grading & Excavation
in Eagleville, TN | Free On-Site Estimates!
Murfreesboro Elite Grading & Excavation has been grading and excavating properties in Eagleville for over 20 years! Eagleville is a small, historic town of just over 1,000 residents in Rutherford County, founded in 1832 and known for its farmland, horse properties, and large-acreage lots along Highway 99. With a median household income around $88,000 and a housing stock that mixes century-old farmhouses with new custom builds on multi-acre parcels, Eagleville's grading needs run toward larger-scale rural work rather than standard suburban yards.
Eagleville's rural character means most properties here rely on well and septic systems rather than municipal sewer, which the town didn't complete until 2015, and that reality shapes how grading and drainage need to be approached on many lots. Summer highs regularly reach the low 90s and annual rainfall exceeds 55 inches across Middle Tennessee, and combined with the region's dense clay soil, that creates real drainage demands across Eagleville's farms, pastures, and custom-built homes on properties often exceeding an acre. Originally part of Williamson County until 1877, Eagleville has retained a small-town, agricultural identity even as custom home construction has grown steadily in recent years.
We're licensed and insured to work throughout Rutherford County, and drainage materials and French drain components we install carry manufacturer warranties in addition to our own workmanship guarantee.

Land Grading Repair Services in Eagleville
Eagleville's mix of historic farmhouses and newer custom homes on large lots means drainage problems here vary from settled century-old grading to issues on more recent construction.
Farm & Pasture Drainage Correction
Working farms and horse properties throughout Eagleville need drainage correction that accounts for pastures, barns, and outbuildings across acreage rather than a single homesite. We grade swales and diversion channels to move water away from working areas without disrupting active farm operations, coordinating timing around seasonal farm activity wherever possible.
Historic Farmhouse Regrading
Eagleville's older homes, some dating back generations, often have grading that's settled or shifted significantly over the decades since original construction. We regrade around these established structures carefully, respecting the historic character of the property and the mature landscaping that's grown up around it over the years.
Custom Home Site Drainage
Newer custom homes built on Eagleville's larger, often no-HOA lots need drainage correction scoped to the property's actual size, which frequently exceeds an acre and can include ponds, creeks, or wooded areas beyond the immediate homesite. We assess the full property before recommending a fix, since a homesite-only approach often misses how water actually moves across these larger parcels.
Driveway & Farm Road Regrading
Long driveways and farm access roads connecting Eagleville properties to Highway 99 need proper base compaction to hold up under clay soil and Middle Tennessee's seasonal rainfall.

Custom Home Site Grading
With Eagleville seeing continued custom home construction on large, no-HOA lots, we grade building pads to spec while accounting for the pond views, farmland backdrops, and rural setting many of these properties are built around.
Working Farm & Large-Acreage Grading
Agricultural properties throughout Eagleville often need grading scoped to significant acreage, pasture leveling, pond construction, or drainage across working farmland. We scale equipment and crew size to the actual scope of these larger rural projects rather than pricing and staffing them like a standard residential job.
Well & Septic-Compatible Site Grading
Since most Eagleville properties rely on well and septic systems rather than municipal utilities, we coordinate grading around septic field locations and well placement to avoid disrupting these critical systems.
Drainage & Erosion Control for Eagleville Properties
Erosion Control on Farmland and Creek Frontage
Eagleville's rolling terrain and creek-adjacent properties create erosion risk on exposed slopes and pasture edges. We stabilize these areas with matting and seeding suited to the region's rainfall patterns.
French Drain Installation for Rural Properties
Both historic farmhouses and newer custom builds throughout Eagleville sometimes need French drains to handle water that surface grading alone can't resolve, particularly on properties with ponds or seasonal wet areas. We design systems sized to each property's specific soil and water volume, whether that's a decades-old farmhouse or a home built within the last few years.
