A Memphis-based site preparation contractor built on experience, integrity, and results.

Payne Enterprise LLC is a site preparation contractor based in the Memphis, Tennessee area. We specialize in the full scope of site prep work: demolition, land clearing, excavation, grading, storm drainage, and erosion control.
Under the leadership of President Warren Payne, we've spent over two decades preparing sites for general contractors, developers, municipalities, and private landowners across the Mid-South. Our reputation is built on showing up, doing the work right, and standing behind every job we deliver.
We operate with a hands-on approach — Warren is directly involved in every project, which means you get experienced oversight and direct communication from bid to final grade. No layers of management, no surprises.
Our equipment fleet is modern, well-maintained, and matched to the job at hand. We don't send a backhoe to do an excavator's job. We size the crew and equipment to your project so the work gets done efficiently and on schedule.
Every job starts with a safety plan. We follow OSHA standards and enforce jobsite safety practices every day, protecting our crew and everyone on site.
Site prep sets the foundation for everything that comes after. We hold our grades, stay on plan, and communicate any field conditions that could affect the project.
We show up when we say we will. If something changes, you hear it from us — not from a field rep or sub. Direct, honest communication on every project.
We own our work. If something isn't right, we fix it. No finger-pointing, no excuses. We stand behind our work because our name is on every job we take.
Tennessee contractor license in good standing for site preparation work.
General liability and workers' compensation coverage on every project.
We install and maintain BMPs to keep your project in stormwater compliance.
