Frequently Asked Questions

How much does residential site prep cost in East Texas?
Most residential site prep projects range from $3,000–$15,000 depending on lot size, tree density, amount of fill material needed, and whether septic excavation is included. We provide free on-site estimates with itemized quotes.
Do I need site prep if my lot is already cleared?
Yes. Even cleared lots require stripping topsoil, importing select fill, precision grading for drainage, and compaction testing before a foundation can be poured. Skipping these steps on East Texas clay leads to costly foundation failures.
Can you clear my lot and build my house pad?
Absolutely. We handle the complete scope — tree removal, stump extraction, rough grading, fill placement, finish grading, compaction, and drainage. Your builder arrives to a pad that's level, compacted, and ready for foundation work.
How long does residential site prep take?
Most residential lots are cleared and graded in 2–5 days. Larger wooded lots or projects requiring significant fill material may take 5–10 days. We schedule around weather to ensure proper compaction.
Do you handle septic system excavation?
Yes. We excavate for conventional and aerobic septic systems, including tank placement, lateral line trenching, and backfill. We coordinate with your septic installer to ensure everything meets county health department specifications.
