Ponds, clearing, and dirt work in Denton
Acreage, tanks, and Cross Timbers soils — plus in-town lots near UNT.
Dirt work that matches this city.
Denton County still has real acreage: ponds, barn pads, riding lots, and lot clearing. In town, access and parking around UNT and the square change the equipment list. We do both without treating a five-acre tank like a patio drain.
Soil & ground
Cross Timbers mix — sandier pockets, clay lenses, and rock. Pond sites get a soil look before we promise a hole that holds.
Permits & locates
City vs. county vs. lake-rule overlays. Floodplain near the Elm Fork is not a DIY surprise we ignore.
