Excavation and grading in McKinney
Historic square on one side, greenfield west-side pads on the other.
Dirt work that matches this city.
McKinney splits between in-town lots near the square and fast growth west and north. Dirt work follows that split: careful access and drainage downtown, lot clearing and pads on the new side. Same crew, different truck plan.
Soil & ground
Classic Collin County clay. Ponds and swales need real clay cores. Pads need moisture conditioning, not just a blade pass.
Permits & locates
City of McKinney grading and tree rules on many parcels. ETJ and county lots north of town are a different permit path — we confirm before we scrape.
