25 Years of Moving Dirt in Middle Tennessee, Built on Handshakes and Job Well Done
Led by Doug Lee. Doug is a licensed electrician who started running excavation equipment on the side in 2000 and never stopped. He went full-time in 2020 after two decades of growing the operation one job and one referral at a time. When you call JD Lee, Doug picks up. When a crew is on your property, Doug knows what’s happening on it.
Based in McEwen, Humphreys County. JD Lee Excavating sits in the middle of the western Nashville corridor, serving residential and commercial clients across Humphreys, Dickson, Hickman, Perry, Montgomery, Maury, and Davidson counties. The company holds a Tennessee contractor’s license for projects up to $3 million, carries full bonding, and maintains liability and workers’ compensation coverage on every active job.
How JD Lee Excavating Got Here
A Fleet That Matches the Work
Four dozers, three excavators, haul trucks, scrapers, compaction rollers, and a GPS grading system. Every machine is owned. No rentals, no scheduling delays, no waiting on someone else’s equipment to show up.
The Phone Gets Answered
Doug takes calls at 5 PM on a Friday. Texts get responses. When there’s a weather delay or a schedule change, you hear about it before you have to ask. In an industry where half the competition disappears mid-job, that’s how Doug has kept clients coming back for 25 years.
One Standard Across Every Job
The same licensing, bonding, insurance, equipment, and crew standards apply whether the project is a residential driveway or a commercial site prep. The scope changes. The standard doesn’t.
