About Five Star Excavation

Five Star Excavation operates out of Goodlettsville, Tennessee, a suburb just north of Nashville in a corridor that mixes dense residential neighborhoods with older semi-rural properties that still rely on private septic systems. That's an increasingly uncommon combination this close to a major metro, and it creates a steady need for septic services from homeowners who may have never dealt with this kind of system before. The company covers excavation, septic, and landscaping, which makes them a practical choice when a septic project leaves your yard looking rough and needing restoration. Their Goodlettsville location puts them close to a wide range of customers in both Davidson and Sumner counties.

Services & Process

Five Star's combination of excavation and septic work means they can handle the full range of system installation and repair projects, not just the pump truck work. Excavation is central to drain field replacement, new system installation, and tank access when lids are buried deep. Their landscaping services fill a real gap after major septic projects, since grading, seeding, and restoring the surface over a newly replaced drain field isn't something every septic contractor offers. For homeowners who want their yard back to normal after a repair, having one company manage all three phases saves time and back-and-forth.

Service Area

Five Star Excavation serves Goodlettsville and the surrounding communities in northern Davidson County and southern Sumner County. Their location gives them quick access to Hendersonville, Millersville, and White House, making them a convenient option for homeowners across this densely populated stretch north of Nashville.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would a home in Goodlettsville still have a septic system instead of city sewer?
Many older and semi-rural properties in the Goodlettsville area were built before municipal sewer lines reached them, and connecting to city sewer can be expensive or logistically complicated. These homes continue to rely on private septic systems even as the surrounding area has developed.
Can Five Star Excavation restore my yard after a drain field replacement?
Yes, that's one of the advantages of working with a company that offers landscaping alongside excavation and septic. They can grade the disturbed soil, reseed the area, and help the yard recover after the heavy equipment work is done.
How deep does a septic tank typically need to be excavated to access?
Tank depth varies by property, but most residential tanks have lids buried between six inches and two feet below the surface. If the lid is deeper due to grading changes over time, excavation equipment speeds up access significantly compared to hand-digging.
Do I need an excavation contractor for a simple septic tank pump-out?
Usually not, unless the lids are buried or inaccessible. Routine pump-outs on tanks with accessible lids can be done with a vacuum truck alone. The excavation capability becomes important for repairs, replacements, and installations.
What permits are required for a septic system installation in Davidson County?
A septic system installation in Davidson County requires a permit through the Metro Public Health Department, which includes a site evaluation and soil testing. Your contractor should handle the permit application as part of the project.
How soon after a drain field replacement can I use my yard normally again?
Most contractors recommend keeping heavy equipment and foot traffic off the new drain field for several weeks while the soil settles and any seeding takes hold. Your contractor should give you specific guidance based on what was installed.
