Whether you’re finishing a newly built home or updating an existing property, our team brings hands-on experience, the right equipment, and a commitment to getting the job done right.
A Better Landscape Starts With the Ground
A successful landscaping project begins with proper preparation. Uneven ground, unwanted vegetation, and poor soil conditions can make it difficult to achieve the results you want. J&D Topsoil combines landscaping, topsoil, and excavation experience to help prepare your property for its next step.
We’ll discuss your goals, assess the work involved, and help determine the right approach for your space.
Quality Topsoil for Your Outdoor Projects
Our business began in Ashland City in 2007 with an abundance of quality river bottom topsoil. Today, topsoil remains an important part of what we do.
Whether you’re preparing an area for grass, creating planting spaces, or putting the finishing touches on a construction project, we can help you select topsoil for your landscaping needs.
Landscaping for Homes, New Construction & Commercial Properties
Every property has different needs. We work with homeowners looking to improve their yards, builders preparing new homes and subdivisions, and commercial clients improving their grounds.

Our experience across landscaping and excavation allows us to help with projects that require both ground preparation and finishing work.
Local Experience You Can Count On
J&D Topsoil has served Middle Tennessee since 2007. What started with one truck and a backhoe has grown into a business offering topsoil, excavation, demolition, concrete, and landscaping services.

Land Clearing and Demolition — Common Questions
Here are answers to the questions we hear most often from landowners and contractors in Nashville, Springfield, Lebanon, and other surrounding areas in Tennessee, and Cheatham County. If you don't see your question here, call us at 615-419-4913.
How many acres can J&D Topsoil clear in a day?
It depends on terrain, vegetation density, and site access. For typical wooded residential lots, we generally clear 1 to 3 acres per day. Heavier timber, steep slopes, or limited equipment access will slow that pace. Donnie gives a realistic timeline estimate as part of the free quote process, so you know what to expect before we start.
Does J&D Topsoil dispose of the debris after land clearing?
Yes—debris removal and hauling are part of the service. Cleared trees, brush, and stumps are hauled off-site rather than left as a burn pile you have to manage. J&D Topsoil's own dump trucks handle debris removal, which keeps the entire job on one crew and avoids the delays that come with coordinating a separate hauler.
Do I need a permit for land clearing in Cheatham County, TN?
Permit requirements vary depending on project type, parcel size, and whether the land is near waterways or protected areas. Not every clearing job requires a permit, but some do. We'd recommend checking with Cheatham County planning or your local municipality before clearing begins. J&D Topsoil can advise based on what we see on the site.
How long does a house demolition take in Nashville, Springfield, Lebanon, and Other Surrounding Areas in Tennessee?
A standard single-family teardown typically takes 1 to 3 days from start to finish, including debris removal and rough grading of the remaining surface. Complex structures or those with large concrete foundations may take longer. We'll give you a straightforward estimate of the timeline when we come out to look at the site.
What is the difference between land clearing and grading?
Land clearing removes vegetation, trees, stumps, and surface debris from a site. Grading reshapes the exposed soil surface to the required elevation and slope for drainage or construction. Clearing comes first. J&D Topsoil handles both as part of a full site preparation workflow, so you're not managing two separate crews.
