Land Development & Site Preparation

From Raw Land to Ready-to-Build — Made Easy with Hewn

 

Building a luxury custom home begins long before the foundation is poured. Whether your lot is raw, wooded, or tucked inside an established neighborhood, Hewn Custom Homes makes preparing it simple, predictable, and stress-free.

We handle every phase of site preparation with clarity and care—from permitting and utility access to grading and foundation planning—so your homebuilding journey starts strong and stays on track.

Bring the Land. We’ll Handle the Rest.

With deep roots in residential land development across Middle Tennessee, our team brings the structure, resources, and experience to turn undeveloped or underprepared land into a build-ready site. Our turnkey site prep services include:

Land Clearing & Tree Removal

Strategic, selective clearing that makes space for your home while preserving your lot’s natural beauty.

We shape the land to support proper drainage, a stable foundation, and long-term site integrity.

From electric and internet to water, sewer, or septic—we handle the research, logistics, and trenching.

We coordinate with engineers to determine what your land needs for structural soundness and code compliance.

Every jurisdiction is different. We’ll manage the paperwork, timelines, and requirements so you don’t have to.

We’ll ensure your property has proper access for both construction and long-term use.

The easier way to build a custom home, from land to keys.

Your Land, Our Network

 

Land prep involves more than just equipment—it takes a coordinated team. We bring together:

  • Licensed surveyors
  • Environmental consultants
  • Title companies
  • Civil engineers
  • Utility providers
  • Permitting specialists

We’ve developed long-standing relationships with reliable local professionals so you don’t need to vet vendors or coordinate moving parts. One point of contact. One integrated plan.

Already Bought Land? Or Still Searching?

Whether your land is already in hand or still on your wishlist, Hewn is equipped to help at every stage:

  • Tear-downs & infill lots
  • Undeveloped acreage
  • Suburban lots without utilities
  • Sloped or challenging terrain

We’ll assess what it needs—and deliver a straightforward plan for how we’ll get it ready for your home.

We came in with a challenging lot on a steep slope, and honestly expected a lot of pushback. Instead, Hewn mapped out a full plan and made it happen without drama.
