There’s something especially meaningful about getting to walk alongside a client from the very beginning of their build journey and watching as their vision comes to life.

Todd and Nancy trusted us from day one back in 2022 to help turn their raw land into their dream property. Over the past several years we’ve had the privilege of helping bring that vision to life through every stage of the process, from land clearing and cutting in a driveway to building a shop pad, cutting a home foundation, and everything in between.

As one of the first contractors many clients work with in their build journey, we take that responsibility seriously. We know these projects represent years of dreaming, planning, and hard work, and we care deeply about helping make the process as smooth and successful as possible.

We’re incredibly grateful for clients like Todd and Nancy who continue to trust us project after project and allow us to be part of building something special. If you’re planning to build, clear land, install a driveway, prep a homesite, or turn raw property into usable land, we’d love to help. Reach out to schedule your free estimate.

Every home starts with a strong foundation...and that begins with proper site preparation. The foundation dig marks one of the most important first steps in building a new home. A properly excavated and prepared site helps ensure a solid foundation for everything to come.

At Gillon Contracting & Excavation, we specialize in all aspects of preparing land for new construction, from land clearing and forestry mulching to driveways, utilities, foundation excavation, grading, drainage, and more. Whether you're starting with raw land or getting ready to break ground, we help set your project up for success from day one.

There’s nothing better than watching a property transform and helping bring a customer’s vision to life from the ground up.

Underbrush doesn't stand a chance with our specialized equipment!

This slow-mo gives a great look at what forestry mulching really does: grind up small trees, saplings, and underbrush into a natural layer of mulch that stays right where it belongs. No hauling, no burning, no mess left behind. It’s one of the most efficient ways to open up property, reclaim overgrown areas, or prep land for what’s next, all while keeping the soil protected and looking clean when we’re done.

If you’ve got land that’s getting out of hand, this is how you take it back! Give us a call today to schedule your free estimate!

Throwing it back to a project from a few months ago here in the Upper Cumberland!

We handled the site prep on this property cutting in a new house pad and barn pad, along with utility trenching to get everything ready for the next phase. From raw ground to build-ready, it’s always rewarding to watch a new property come together!

Proper site preparation sets the tone for everything that follows, including drainage, stability, and long-term performance. If you’re planning to build and want it done right from day one, we’d be glad to take a look at your property.

It's incredibly rewarding getting to watch a piece of raw ground turn into the start of someone’s future. This project went from a small, untouched lot to a build-ready homesite in just 48 hours, complete with a new gravel driveway, culvert installation, and a finished building pad ready for construction.

One thing that sets us apart is how we approach our work. When we start a project, we stay on it with timeliness and efficacy top of mind. Our crew is often dedicated to one job at a time, giving each client our full attention from start to finish. No bouncing between sites, no dragging timelines out longer than necessary, just a smoother process, faster turnaround, and a better overall experience.

We know we’re often the first contractors our clients work with when they begin building their home, and we take that responsibility seriously. We want the first stage of your home build to feel straightforward, efficient, and done right the first time so you can quickly move onto the next stage with confidence. We'll make sure you're taken care of from the start.

If you’re starting with raw land and ready to turn it into something usable, we’d love to help. Reach out today to get your free estimate and take the first step toward your build!

Spring has arrived! Now that fresh vegetation is beginning to take over, our forestry mulching service (and one of our favorite services that we offer) is the best way to get your property back before summer.

🌿 Forestry mulching allows our team to remove thick brush, small trees, and overgrowth while returning nutrients back to the soil. It's one of the most effective ways to clear land naturally, as the leftover mulch acts as natural erosion control to protect your property from water runoff.

💨 Our specialized equipment allows us to work FAST. We're often able to clean up 1+ acres per day, meaning you get to enjoy almost instant results.

🏠 If you're thinking about listing your property, forestry mulching offers an affordable and effective method to instantly boost curb appeal + property value plus give potential buyers a clear vision of the property's potential.

📩 Ready to clean up your acreage and get ready for summer? Give us a call or send us a message. We'd love to help you transform your property and get the most out of your land!
