About us
Land clearing, grading, excavation and drainage for Nashville homeowners, builders and developers
Sanctuary Land Services clears, grades and excavates ground around Nashville, taking on anything from one backyard to a commercial development site. The work covers land and site clearing, tree removal, demolition of old or damaged structures, utility trenching for electrical, water and sewer lines, and site preparation that carries a property from first clearing to final grade.
For yards and lots with water trouble, the company designs and installs drainage that sends runoff away from buildings, and it builds retaining walls and erosion control to hold slopes in place. On development jobs it coordinates the clearing, grading, drainage and utilities under a single plan. It also separates land clearing, which takes raw ground down through the stumps and roots, from site clearing, which readies one defined project area.
Estimates are free and detailed, and the schedule is laid out before work starts. Crews cover Nashville and twenty nearby towns, including Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Mt. Juliet, Hendersonville, Gallatin, Lebanon, Smyrna, Spring Hill and Columbia.

Frequently asked questions
Why is there standing water in my yard days after rain?
Middle Tennessee clay soil, compacted ground, and grading that gives the water nowhere to go. Clay absorbs slowly, so water that would soak away in sandy soil sits on the surface here. Compaction from construction traffic makes it worse. The solution is usually a combination of regrading to move water off, and a drain to take away what the ground cannot absorb.
What is a French drain and when do I need one?
A gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that collects subsurface water and carries it somewhere it can discharge. You need one where water collects and cannot be regraded away — at the base of a slope, along a foundation wall, or in a low area of the yard. It needs somewhere to go: a French drain that discharges nowhere just relocates the problem underground.
What does drainage work cost depend on?
Linear footage, depth, and what the machine has to get through. Rock is the variable that matters most here — Middle Tennessee limestone shelf close to the surface turns straightforward trenching into slow work. Access for equipment is the other: a back garden reachable only through a narrow gate may have to be dug by hand. Discharge point and restoration of the lawn add.
Can I fix drainage myself with downspout extensions?
Often you can improve it substantially, and it is always the first thing to try. A roof sheds an enormous volume of water, and downspouts discharging at the wall are the single most common cause of a wet foundation. Extending them several feet away, and regrading the first few feet around the house to fall away, solves a surprising number of problems for very little money.
Do I need to call before digging?
Yes, always — Tennessee 811 before any excavation, free and required. Utilities are marked within a few working days. Hitting a gas or fiber line is dangerous and expensive, and the liability sits with whoever dug without locating. Any contractor who starts trenching without marked utilities on the ground is telling you something about how they work.
