Drainage and pads in Justin
Southwest Denton County — a side-yard drain on one lot, a barndominium pad on the next.
Dirt work that matches this city.
Justin sits on FM 156 and FM 407, on the Fort Worth side of our Ponder base. In town we regrade and install French drains where a yard holds water against the house. On the acreage we clear brush and cut pads for houses and barndominiums. The machine follows the street, not a ranch-sized guess.
Soil & ground
Denton County clay and older fill. After a slow rain the low side of a lot becomes the ditch whether anyone planned one. Pipe helps when the grade has a legal place to go. Otherwise we fix the slope first.
Permits & locates
ZIP 76247 covers Justin and also some ground along FM 156 and SH 114 that is inside Fort Worth. We confirm the city before we assume a permit path. Drains daylight to a street, ditch, or easement — not a neighbor’s yard.
