Pads and stock tanks in Krum
North of Ponder on FM 156 — pasture tracts, barn pads, and ditches that have to carry a spring rain.
Dirt work that matches this city.
Krum is the next town north on FM 156, still Denton County, with a small-town core and larger tracts out toward FM 1173 and US 380. We clear brush, cut house and barn pads, and dig stock tanks for homeowners and acreage owners. Culverts and driveway base on the county roads are the other half of the job: getting you in, and getting water out.
Soil & ground
Pasture northwest of Denton can look like easy digging until a clay lens or a rock shelf shows up. A tank holds where the clay is. A sandy pocket will not. We do not promise a pond from the road.
Permits & locates
City of Krum lots and county land outside the limits follow different rules. A driveway approach or culvert onto a county road needs that answer before we cut the ditch. 811 before any trench.
