Ponds, clearing, gravel and grading near Murfreesboro, TN

Murfreesboro is the center of the fastest-building county around (Rutherford single-family permits up 12% in 2026) ^[1]. In town it's lot clearing and grading for new builds; out toward Christiana, Lascassas and Rockvale it's ponds and drives. Over 1 acre of clearing or grading needs a Rutherford County land disturbance permit ^[2].

Typical costs: ponds ¼–½ acre about $5,000–$15,000 ^[3]; clearing about $1,500–$5,000/acre ^[4]; new 100–200 ft gravel drive about $1,500–$6,000 ^[5]. Full list: cost guide.
