Murfreesboro Terrain Expertise

Middle Tennessee has its quirks. Clay-heavy soils, rolling slopes, and drainage challenges are unique to this region. We’ve worked this terrain for years, and that experience helps us anticipate issues before they become costly setbacks. Whether you’re building in Murfreesboro’s rural outskirts or closer to town, we tailor each job to suit the soil, slope, and regulatory requirements. Our local expertise means better results, faster permitting, and fewer headaches. We know this land because we live here, and it shows in our work.

Fully Insured Peace of Mind

Your property is a major investment, and it deserves to be protected. Crossed Arrow Earthworks is fully licensed and insured, so you’re covered from start to finish. We back our work with a satisfaction guarantee, and we don’t leave the site until you’re confident in the results. Whether it’s a simple grading job or a multi-phase land development, you’ll have the peace of mind that comes from working with a professional, risk-free contractor who stands behind every inch of earth moved.
Our comprehensive suite of services—encompassing clearing, grading, contouring, and gravel solutions—is tailored to transform your land into a ready-to-build state, ensuring a smooth transition to construction.

What We Offer

Our Core Land Services

Turning Your Land into Your Dream Space

Clearing

We provide selective land clearing that removes overgrowth while preserving valuable trees and soil structure. Whether you’re prepping a building site or reclaiming overrun acreage, our equipment and experience ensure a clean, buildable landscape without unnecessary disturbance. We leave your land cleared, leveled, and ready for whatever comes next.

Grading

Proper grading is critical to any successful project. We level and shape your land to improve drainage, prevent erosion, and prepare it for foundations, driveways, or landscaping. Our team ensures every slope and surface is aligned with your goals and site plans, reducing future issues and setting the stage for lasting success.

Contouring

We shape land with purpose. Our earth contouring services sculpt terrain for beauty, function, and water control. Whether it is building berms, creating swales, or managing slopes, we transform your natural landscape into a form that supports your project and your property’s long-term health. It is not just dirt work. It is earth sculpting.

Gravel Work

From new gravel driveway installations to resurfacing and repair, we handle it all. We grade the base, add the right gravel for your usage, and compact it for strength and longevity. Whether it’s a rural access road or a parking area, we deliver smooth, durable gravel solutions that stand the test of time.

Drainage Solutions

Standing water and erosion can destroy even the best-prepared site. We install smart drainage systems tailored to your land’s unique needs. French drains, culverts, swales, or full site runoff plans. We create systems that move water efficiently and protect your investment. Every drainage job is done with longevity and stability in mind.
