Barn pads and drainage in Aubrey
Northeast Denton County on US 380 — horse-property acreage and newer lots that still pond.
Dirt work that matches this city.
Aubrey is northeast of Denton on US 380, ZIP 76227. Horse properties still need barn pads, clearing, and stump grinding. Newer home lots along the corridor often need the builder’s grade corrected, and a French drain — catch basin or pop-up emitter — so water is not sitting on the slab.
Soil & ground
Eastern Cross Timbers and blackland clay meet along this stretch of 380. Sandy post-oak ground and tight clay can show up on the same road, and they do not compact the same. One pad recipe will not cover both.
Permits & locates
City limits, the extra-territorial jurisdiction, and unincorporated Denton County are all in play. We confirm which one owns the lot before we clear a fence line or set a culvert. Septic work is excavation and haul-off only. A licensed contractor installs the system.
