Earthwork

Commercial site earthwork including excavation, grading, compaction, and drainage for concrete construction projects.

Proper earthwork and site preparation form the critical foundation for successful concrete construction. Our earthwork services include site excavation, cut and fill operations, fine grading, subgrade compaction, drainage installation, and base preparation for concrete projects throughout Denton County. Professional earthwork ensures proper drainage, adequate soil bearing capacity, and stable subgrades that prevent future settlement or failure of concrete structures. We coordinate earthwork with concrete operations, completing site prep immediately before concrete installation to maintain subgrade quality. Our equipment fleet includes excavators, dozers, motor graders, compaction equipment, and GPS-guided grading systems for precision site work. Proper compaction is critical—we meet specified compaction requirements (typically 95% Standard Proctor for most commercial applications) verified by certified testing. North Texas expansive clay soils require special attention: we remove unsuitable soils, provide proper drainage, and may recommend soil stabilization in challenging conditions. For parking lots and paving projects, we establish proper subgrade slopes for drainage, install necessary storm systems, and prepare uniform, well-compacted bases. For building pads and foundations, we excavate to proper depths, stabilize subgrades, and provide level working platforms. Our crews understand the relationship between soil conditions and concrete performance—proper earthwork prevents future problems.
