Wilson Forestry and Excavating is an excavation and land clearing company based in Woodlawn, just west of Clarksville. We dig footings and foundations, build pads, clear lots and acreage, and shape ground so water runs off. Builders and general contractors bring much of the work, from house builds to commercial buildings. Farms, landowners, and homeowners bring the rest of the work we take on.
Wilson Forestry and Excavating started out in road building. Founder Jeremy Wilson built roads for a timber company, cutting access for log trucks and heavy equipment. A road like that has to carry weight and shed water after a hard rain. We have also built creek crossings and small bridges with an engineer and a concrete partner.
The machines fit the ground we work. Excavators with a thumb dig footings and pull stumps and root balls out. A skid steer with a forestry mulcher head grinds brush and saplings where they stand. Grade lasers set the elevation on pads and finish grading, so water leaves the site.
Woodlawn sits about 10 miles west of Clarksville on US 79. From there we work out roughly 60 miles in most directions. That covers Montgomery County, Stewart County to the west, and the run southeast toward Nashville and Franklin. Estimates are free, so call or text (931) 572-8673 or see the towns we cover.
