Excavation, Earthmoving & Landscape
Murfreesboro, Nashville, and Middle Tennessee
We all know that Tennessee ground is unforgiving. Excavating and moving is hard work due to damp soil and abundant wetland areas. But mostly, there’s shallow soil over a much harder and massively bedded layer of limestone bedrock in Middle Tennessee.
For those who have tried to dig a hole by hand, imagine that struggle with a sixty-inch-wide shovel. Even worse are the effects on commercial earthmoving machines, equipment, and attachments.
Many companies either rent or purchase an excavator with a hydraulic jackhammer attachment. Even with such tools, the considerable stress and strain that the rocky ground and limestone cause can result in fractures and separations.
Most of the time these failures render the tool or machine inoperable, and this brings about more issues beyond broken machines – business slows or stops. The job delays and your staff are on standby until we resolve the issue.
- Rental units – most rental companies will quickly furnish a replacement
- Owned units – it’s common to rent a temporary replacement
The extent of the damage determines how long it takes to repair.
Development is the backbone of growth and industry. We’re sure that you’re aware of how much Murfreesboro and Greater Nashville have grown in recent years. The massive machines and equipment, along with our tradesmen and women, are at the forefront of this growth.
Big development requires big machines. Your equipment, attachments, and tools aren’t impervious to the rugged ground – whether by accident or natural wear and tear.
Local contractors, hardscape professionals, woodworkers, and masons may also be working on projects that require support steel beams or columns. When your projects take place in mountainous terrain or are several stories high, we often leverage earthmoving or excavation equipment to assist in the project.
These are a few examples from recent project locations for commercial excavation and earthmoving customers:
- Quarries
- Sand & Gravel Manufacturers
- Commercial & Real Estate Development Sites
- Residential Landscapes, Hardscape & Foundation Work
- Highway & Road Construction
- Utilities Under Development & Grid Expansion Sites
- Septic System Services
- Municipal Plumbing Construction
- Deep Hole & Underground Borer/Drilling Sites
- Pipeline Development Sites
- Waterway & Wetland Development Sites
- Farm & Agricultural Development Sites
- Plant Grower & Tree Nursery

Mobile Welding
For a variety of reasons, like immovable machines or structural, mobile welding means we will need to come to you.
Line Bore Machining
We frequently work with heavy excavation companies in need of line bore machining and loader bucket repair services.
Excavation & Fabrication
Make your ideas a reality with custom fabrication to develop functional components that perform specific jobs.
If you’re unable to send photos, or they don’t depict the issue clearly, our field project managers and mobile operations will meet with you at your location. The more upfront information we can gather, the better we’re able to estimate.
Pending parts availability, repairs can begin quickly. Due to where you’re operating and the scope of work, there are a few things we can do to accommodate.
- Our mobile operations team can come to you to assess or pickup
- You can drop the equipment/tool off at our facility
- We can deliver it back to your job site, or inform you that it’s ready for pickup
LucasMWF trains and practices safety standards in all aspects of our business.
Prioritizing Safety
Your workforce relies on your machines, equipment, tools, and attachments for safety and reliability. This helps ensure that operations and projects run efficiently. This means your equipment should be free from cracks, separations, and excessively worn parts.
When a team member is out of work because of an injury the costs of business elevate well above the cost of a proactive repair.
Preventative Maintenance (PM)
Inspections should be performed on a routine basis by a qualified individual. Lucas MWF is equipped to troubleshoot, identify, and correct issues.
Customers also frequently contract us for our welding and fabrication expertise on earthmoving, excavation, and landscape topics like trucking, trailers, hauling, storage, and facilities.
