Pads, long drives, and septic digging off Seaborn Rd

House pads on lots around the 2.19-acre median, pads on the five C1 vacant lots, replacement pads on the 1980s and 1990s lots, manufactured-home pads on the A2 accounts, a shop pad like the workshop on the 4-acre Seaborn Rd listing, driveway base on soils USDA rates very limited for local roads, French drains for flat clay and the 5-to-15-percent slopes, and a septic dig for the owner's installer. One hundred forty residential accounts, about 2.3 miles southeast of Ponder. Photos start the call. The number comes after the lot is seen.

Septic digging where every soil is very limited

Excavation here is a septic tank and field hole, opened to the licensed installer's plan, plus trenches for water service, electric, or propane, and footings. Burleson, Medlin-Sanger, Mingo, Ponder, Sanger, and Slidell all rate very limited for a conventional field. The 3993 Seaborn Rd listing, 4 acres, built 2015, prints Septic Available. That is one lot. No public sewer was identified for the plat. Mingo rock can sit about 29 inches down, so a ripper or breaker may be the tool for a tank hole or a trench on that unit. Burleson, Sanger, and Slidell trenches are shrink-swell clay. East Ponder Estates is listed with private community groundwater system PWS TX0610161, Undine Texas, LLC, formerly Terra Southwest, Inc. A water-service trench follows that context. The same listing prints Water Available. Call Texas 811 before the trench. Trinity digs and hauls the spoils. The installer designs, permits, and installs.

Land and lot clearing

Clearing so a pad or a drive can start

Clearing on these acreage lots is brush or a stump so a pad or a drive off Seaborn Rd, H Lively Rd, or the other plat streets can start. Tree cover was not counted lot by lot. This page does not promise a tree count or a cleared acreage.

Pads on 2-acre lots and the five vacant C1 lots

Site prep is a house pad on acreage around the 2.19-acre median, a pad on one of the five C1 vacant lots, or a replacement pad on an older lot. Lots run 0.092 to 22.15 acres, about 596 acres together. The 0.092-acre end is not treated as a promised homesite. The pad conversation is the lots around 2 acres and up, including the 22.15-acre end. Of the accounts with a first-improvement year, 9 are the 1980s and 29 are the 1990s. Forty-eight are the 2010s and 29 are the 2020s. Six are the 2000s. The latest year is 2025. A few older outliers run from 1876 through 1970. That mix is new-build pads and replacement pads on the same plat. Twenty-six accounts are state code A2, mobile home, and six more are A1 and A2 together, so a manufactured-home pad is part of the residential work on those accounts. This page does not state a deed rule for mobile homes. Forty-seven accounts are A1, single-family. Burleson, Sanger, and Slidell need moisture-conditioned, compacted select fill, and the foundation has to stay well drained. Medlin-Sanger, on 5 to 15 percent slopes, is cut and fill so the pad stays put, with erosion control where the slope sheds water. A shop or barn pad fits the 2-acre and larger lots. The 3993 Seaborn Rd listing, 4 acres, built 2015, describes a workshop. That workshop is one listing. You confirm an outbuilding is allowed before that pad is cut. Deed restrictions were not verified. The lot is seen before the number is written.

Grading and pad work

Cut-and-fill pads on Medlin-Sanger stony clay

Medlin-Sanger stony clay sits on 5 to 15 percent slopes. Grading there is cut and fill for a pad that stays put, plus erosion control, because that slope sheds water and rock can show up in the bucket. The other units in the box are mostly 1 to 3 percent, and Sanger also shows at 3 to 5 percent. On the flatter Burleson, Sanger, and Slidell clay, finish grade still has to leave the foundation well drained. Forty-eight of the first-improvement years are the 2010s and 29 are the 2020s, so a lot of the grade work is around newer slabs. Nine are the 1980s and 29 are the 1990s, where a regrade is the call when the old fall holds water. The grade is part of the scope written after the lot is seen.

French drains for flat clay and fast slopes

Ponder loam is hydrologic group C. Burleson, Medlin-Sanger, Mingo, Sanger, and Slidell are group D. Water ponds on the flat ground and runs fast on the slopes. A French drain or a swale on Seaborn Rd, H Lively Rd, Florance Rd, Florence Rd, Seaborn Cir, Sweet Lee Ln, Chase Rd, Amber Rd, Mallard Ln, or Rowland Rd has to reach a real outlet. A pipe that stops in Burleson, Sanger, or Slidell clay stores the water. On Medlin-Sanger, 5 to 15 percent, the drain also has to handle water that is already moving. Grade still falls away from the structure. FEMA flood zones were not confirmed here.

Long drive base on very limited road soils

USDA rates local roads very limited on Burleson, Medlin-Sanger, Mingo, Ponder, Sanger, and Slidell. Every unit in the box carries that rating, so a long drive needs subgrade prep and base, not native clay. Lots run 0.092 to 22.15 acres, median 2.19, so many drives are long. The 3993 Seaborn Rd listing describes a circular, gated driveway at a workshop on 4 acres. That circular court is one listing, not a survey of every frontage. Seaborn Rd has 78 accounts and H Lively Rd has 15. Florance Rd and Florence Rd together have 15. Whether a culvert is needed where a drive meets the road was not confirmed.

Service page

Residential lots only. The 3993 Seaborn Rd listing, 4 acres, built 2015, prints Septic Available, Water Available, Ponder ISD, HOA No, and a workshop with a circular, gated driveway. Those fields are that listing, not a reading for all 140 accounts. No public sewer was identified. On septic, Trinity digs and hauls spoils to the licensed installer's plan. The installer designs, permits, and installs. The plat is associated with private community groundwater system PWS TX0610161, Undine Texas, LLC, formerly Terra Southwest, Inc. That name is context for a water-service trench. It is not proof every lot is connected. Tree cover was not counted. Ponds are not offered on this page. A culvert where a drive meets the road was not confirmed.

The plat

SP0006A. One hundred forty residential accounts, no city tax.

A house pad on shrink-swell clay, a long drive, and a septic dig for the owner's installer. That is the job on these acreage lots southeast of town. Denton CAD lists the plat as EAST PONDER ESTATES, code SP0006A. All 140 accounts are property type R, situs Ponder, ZIP 76259. Taxing units are CAD, G01, and S13. S13 is Ponder ISD. The city taxing unit is null, so these accounts carry no city tax, and the CAD zoning field is null. The parcel-vertex centroid, about 33.1632 N, 97.2553 W, returns no features on the CAD municipality layer. The plat is unincorporated Denton County. OSSF and development permits should fall to Denton County, not the Town of Ponder. The county permit pages were not fetched for this page, so the exact form is not confirmed. Plat volume, page, and phases were not confirmed either. The subdivision layer query errored, and this page does not cite them. City ETJ was not checked.

CAD situs streets are Seaborn Rd on 78 accounts, H Lively Rd on 15, Florance Rd on 13 and Florence Rd on 2, Seaborn Cir on 8, Sweet Lee Ln on 6, Chase Rd on 6, Amber Rd on 4, Mallard Ln on 3, and Rowland Rd on 2. CAD uses both Florance and Florence. A reverse geocode of the centroid returns 1799, Seaborn Road, Ponder, Denton County, Texas, 76259. OpenStreetMap places Ponder's center at 33.1829, -97.2872. The centroid is about 2.3 miles southeast of that point, a straight line. This page does not give a drive time. The 140 lots run 0.092 to 22.15 acres, median 2.19, about 596 acres together. One hundred twenty-five accounts have a first-improvement year: 9 in the 1980s, 29 in the 1990s, 6 in the 2000s, 48 in the 2010s, and 29 in the 2020s, plus a few older outliers from 1876 through 1970. The latest year is 2025. State codes on these residential accounts include A1, single-family, on 47, A2, mobile home, on 26, A1 and A2 together on 6, and C1, vacant lot, on 5. Various D and E rural and ag codes are also on the roll. Those rural codes are not turned into a homesite count.

The cut

Burleson, Sanger, and Slidell clay. Mingo rock near 29 inches.

Seven map units show up in a box around the plat. The USDA Soil Data Access query was run on October 31, 2026, bbox -97.26635, 33.15837 to -97.24815, 33.16785. They are units somewhere in the box, not a share of the acres, and the box includes land outside the plat. Burleson clay, 1 to 3 percent, is map unit 22, hydrologic group D. Septic fields and local roads are very limited. Shallow excavations are somewhat limited. No bedrock restriction is listed. Medlin-Sanger stony clay, 5 to 15 percent, is map unit 57, group D. Septic fields and local roads are very limited. Shallow excavations are somewhat limited. No bedrock restriction is listed. Mingo clay loam, 1 to 3 percent, is map unit 58, group D. Septic fields, local roads, and shallow excavations are very limited. Lithic bedrock is at 74 centimeters, about 29 inches. Ponder loam, 1 to 3 percent, is map unit 66, group C. Septic fields and local roads are very limited. Shallow excavations are somewhat limited. Sanger clay, 1 to 3 percent and 3 to 5 percent, is map units 67 and 68, group D. Septic fields and local roads are very limited. Shallow excavations are somewhat limited. Slidell clay, 1 to 3 percent, is map unit 74, group D. Septic fields and local roads are very limited. Shallow excavations are somewhat limited. Soil maps are general. The cut on the lot decides the dig.

Burleson, Sanger, and Slidell are shrink-swell clays. A house pad, a shop pad, or a manufactured-home pad on those units needs moisture-conditioned, compacted select fill, and the foundation has to stay well drained. Medlin-Sanger is stony clay on 5 to 15 percent slopes. A pad there is cut and fill so it stays put, with erosion control, and rock can show up in the bucket. Mingo can put lithic bedrock about 29 inches down, so a tank hole or a trench may need a ripper or breaker. Ponder loam is the group C unit in the box. The other units are group D. Water ponds on the flatter ground and runs fast on the slopes, so a swale, a regrade, or a French drain needs a real outlet. USDA rates local roads very limited on every unit in the box, so a long drive needs subgrade prep and base. Every unit is very limited for a conventional septic field. Trinity digs to the licensed installer's design. The installer designs, permits, and installs. FEMA flood zones were not confirmed, so this soil list is not a flood map. Call Texas 811 before any trench.

Water and septic

Community groundwater on the plat. Septic on one Seaborn Rd listing.

East Ponder Estates is listed with a privately owned community groundwater system, PWS TX0610161, under Undine Texas, LLC, formerly Terra Southwest, Inc. That is water-service context for the plat. It is not a meter reading for every account. The listing for 3993 Seaborn Rd, East Ponder Estates, 4 acres, built 2015, prints Septic Available and Water Available, Ponder ISD, HOA No, and a workshop with a circular, gated driveway. Septic on that listing is one lot. No public sewer was identified for the plat. HOA No is that same listing. Deed restrictions were not verified, and this page does not state a manufactured-home rule. Trinity works for the homeowner.

Trinity Land and Excavation LLC is based in Ponder, TX 76259. Owner Matt Hall is a veteran with 10+ years in excavation. Call or text (940) 435-4727 about a lot on Seaborn Rd, H Lively Rd, Florance Rd, Florence Rd, Seaborn Cir, Sweet Lee Ln, Chase Rd, Amber Rd, Mallard Ln, or Rowland Rd. A few photos are enough to start. Hours are Mon–Fri 7 AM–5 PM. The plat is about 2.3 miles southeast of Ponder in a straight line. Septic work is the dig for a licensed installer. Trinity does not install the system.

Call or text (940) 435-4727 with an East Ponder Estates address on Seaborn Rd, H Lively Rd, Florance Rd, Florence Rd, Seaborn Cir, Sweet Lee Ln, Chase Rd, Amber Rd, Mallard Ln, or Rowland Rd, and photos of the pad or the drive. Say whether you want a house pad, a manufactured-home pad, a shop or barn pad, long or circular driveway base, a French drain, a trench for water service, electric, or propane, light clearing, or the septic dig. Hours are Mon–Fri 7 AM–5 PM. Trinity Land and Excavation LLC is based in Ponder, TX 76259.

02

Start from 140 lots and the soil box

The plat is EAST PONDER ESTATES, code SP0006A. Volume, page, and phases were not confirmed. The subdivision layer query errored. One hundred forty residential accounts, 0.092 to 22.15 acres, median 2.19, about 596 acres. Five are C1 vacant lots. Twenty-six are state code A2. The soil box shows Burleson clay, Medlin-Sanger stony clay, Mingo clay loam, Ponder loam, Sanger clay, and Slidell clay. Those are units in the box, not acreage shares. The cut on the lot decides the dig.

03

County permits, not the Town of Ponder

This plat is unincorporated Denton County, in Ponder ISD. The city taxing unit is null, so there is no city tax, and a point at about 33.1632 N, 97.2553 W misses every CAD municipality polygon. Taxing units are CAD, G01, and S13. S13 is Ponder ISD, on all 140 accounts. Situs ZIP is 76259. CAD zoning is null. We do not assign a zoning district. City ETJ was not checked. OSSF and development permits should fall to Denton County, not the Town of Ponder. The county permit pages were not fetched for this page, so the exact form is not confirmed. The owner's licensed installer designs, permits, and installs the septic system. Trinity digs to that plan. Weekdays are 7 AM to 5 PM.

04

Call 811, then open clay or shallow rock

Texas 811 marks public lines before a trench on Seaborn Rd or the other plat streets. The plat is listed with private community groundwater system PWS TX0610161, Undine Texas, LLC, formerly Terra Southwest, Inc. The 3993 Seaborn Rd listing prints Water Available and Septic Available. Those are one listing, not a reading for every lot. Burleson, Sanger, and Slidell walls can stick. Medlin-Sanger can put stone in the bucket on a 5 to 15 percent slope. Mingo can put rock near 29 inches. The septic hole follows the installer's plan. Trinity digs only.

05

Leave the pad, the base, and the grade

You get the residential scope that was quoted: the pad, the driveway base, the grade, and the drains. Ponds are not in that scope. The customer is the homeowner. HOA No is one listing, and Trinity does not take association work. Matt Hall is based in Ponder, TX 76259. These lots are about 2.3 miles southeast of that town center, a straight line. Call (940) 435-4727.

Questions on East Ponder Estates, code SP0006A

The CAD plat, the Seaborn Road streets, unincorporated Denton County, Ponder ISD, the soils, and septic digging only.

What does Denton CAD call East Ponder Estates, and how many accounts are there?

The plat is EAST PONDER ESTATES, code SP0006A, queried 2026-10-31. All 140 accounts are property type R, situs Ponder, ZIP 76259, in Ponder ISD. Taxing units are CAD, G01, and S13. S13 is Ponder ISD. The city taxing unit is null, and the CAD zoning field is null. Plat volume, page, and phases were not confirmed. The subdivision layer query errored, and this page does not cite them.

Which streets are the lots on, and how far is the plat from Ponder?

CAD situs counts are Seaborn Rd 78, H Lively Rd 15, Florance Rd 13 and Florence Rd 2, Seaborn Cir 8, Sweet Lee Ln 6, Chase Rd 6, Amber Rd 4, Mallard Ln 3, and Rowland Rd 2. CAD uses both Florance and Florence. A reverse geocode of the centroid returns 1799, Seaborn Road, Ponder, Denton County, Texas, 76259. The centroid is about 33.1632 N, 97.2553 W. OpenStreetMap places Ponder's center at 33.1829, -97.2872. The plat is about 2.3 miles southeast of that point, a straight line. This page does not give a drive time.

Is East Ponder Estates inside the Town of Ponder, and which school district is it?

It is unincorporated Denton County. The city taxing unit is null on all 140 accounts, so there is no city tax, and the CAD zoning field is null. A point at about 33.1632 N, 97.2553 W returns no CAD municipality polygon. Situs city is Ponder and situs ZIP is 76259, which is why this page sits under the Ponder service area. Ponder ISD, taxing unit S13, is the school unit on every account. This page does not assign a campus. City ETJ was not checked. OSSF and development permits should fall to Denton County, not the Town of Ponder. The county permit pages were not fetched, so the exact form is not confirmed.

How big are the lots, and when were the houses built?

Legal acreage runs from 0.092 to 22.15 acres. The median is 2.19 acres. The sum is about 596 acres. One hundred twenty-five accounts have a first-improvement year: 9 in the 1980s, 29 in the 1990s, 6 in the 2000s, 48 in the 2010s, and 29 in the 2020s, plus a few older outliers from 1876 through 1970. The latest year is 2025. State codes include A1 single-family on 47 accounts, A2 mobile home on 26, A1 and A2 together on 6, and C1 vacant lot on 5. Various D and E rural and ag codes are also on the roll. Those rural codes are not a homesite count. This page does not state a manufactured-home rule.

What water system serves the plat, and what does the Seaborn Rd listing say about septic?

East Ponder Estates is listed with a privately owned community groundwater system, PWS TX0610161, under Undine Texas, LLC, formerly Terra Southwest, Inc. That is context for a water-service trench. It is not a meter reading for every account. The listing for 3993 Seaborn Rd, 4 acres, built 2015, prints Septic Available and Water Available, Ponder ISD, HOA No, and a workshop with a circular, gated driveway. Septic on that listing is one lot. No public sewer was identified for the plat. Trinity excavates to the licensed installer's plan. The installer designs, permits, and installs.

What do the soils mean for a pad, a drive, a drain, or a septic dig?

Queried 2026-10-31, the units in the plat box are Burleson clay 22, Medlin-Sanger stony clay 57, Mingo clay loam 58, Ponder loam 66, Sanger clay 67 and 68, and Slidell clay 74. Acreage shares were not ranked, and the box includes land outside the plat. Burleson, Medlin-Sanger, Mingo, Sanger, and Slidell are hydrologic group D. Ponder loam is group C. Septic fields and local roads are very limited on every unit. Shallow excavations are very limited on Mingo, where lithic bedrock is about 29 inches down, about 74 centimeters, and somewhat limited on the others. Burleson, Sanger, and Slidell are shrink-swell clays, so pads need moisture-conditioned, compacted select fill and a well-drained foundation. Medlin-Sanger is stony clay on 5 to 15 percent slopes, so a pad there is cut and fill, with erosion control, and rock can show up in the bucket. Group C and D ground ponds on the flats and runs fast on the slopes, so a French drain needs a real outlet. Long drives need real base. Call Texas 811 before a trench. Septic digging follows the installer's plan. FEMA zones were not confirmed.

What residential dirt work fits these lots?

House pads on the acreage around the 2.19-acre median and on the five C1 vacant lots, including new pads for the 2010s and 2020s building and replacement pads on the 1980s and 1990s lots. Manufactured-home pads on the 26 A2 accounts and the 6 accounts coded A1 and A2 together, without a deed rule stated on this page. Shop and barn pads on the 2-acre and larger lots, including a workshop like the one on the 4-acre listing at 3993 Seaborn Rd, after you confirm an outbuilding is allowed. Long and circular driveway base. Swales, regrades, and French drains on flat clay and on the slopes. Septic tank and field excavation, digging only. Trenches for water service, electric, or propane. Light clearing, without a tree count. Ponds are not offered. The customer is the homeowner.
