Acreage on Hill Country Circle, about 2.6 miles west of downtown Ponder. Long drives, a shop pad, and clay that sheds a storm instead of soaking it up.
A long drive off Hill Country Circle, a shop or barn pad, and a French drain that actually outlets. This clay won't soak a storm. Septic is the dig only, to your installer's plan.
On Hill Country Circle that usually means a utility trench, a water or irrigation line, a footing, or the septic dig. Most houses here sit on septic — confirm yours. We dig to the licensed installer’s plan; they build the system. This clay sticks in the bucket, and on Bolar ground rock can sit around three feet. Call 811 first.
Service pageSelective clearing, tree work, and stump grinding on your lot — including fence lines — so a pad or drain can go in. We stay on your property.
Service pageThese acreage lots often have room for a shop or barn pad beside the house. Sanger and Slidell clay move with moisture, so we keep compaction consistent. On Bolar, we watch for rock near three feet. A quote never assumes your lot is pre-approved for an extra building.
Service pageFinish grade is usually around the house, an addition, or a patio. This clay sheds rain more than it soaks it up, so we push water off the slab and away from the foundation.
Service pageA regrade or French drain needs somewhere for the water to go. On this clay, the yard won’t soak a storm — the drain has to outlet for real.
Service pageNew base, a rebuild, or an RV or boat pad if you want one. Soft clay under a long drive needs real subgrade and base, not a thin skin of rock.
Service pageSmall residential demo on these lots means a shed or old concrete — hauled off, grade left as quoted.
Service pageSeptic from us is the excavation and the spoil haul for a licensed installer — we don’t install the system. Demo here means a shed or old concrete, not a house. Call 811 before any trench. Ponds and stock tanks aren’t on this page.
The tax roll writes it Cir. Everybody else says Hill Country Circle. Seventy-three homesites, about 2.6 miles west of downtown Ponder, 76259. These aren't curb-and-gutter lots. The driveway is long, there's room for a shop, and the yard has to actually drain. That's the work.

What’s under these yards is mostly clay — Bolar clay loam, Sanger clay, and Slidell clay in the plat’s soil map. That clay shrinks and swells, sheds water instead of soaking it up, and can stick in the bucket. On Bolar ground you can hit rock near three feet. So a pad needs even compaction, a French drain needs a real outlet, and a long driveway needs real base — not just gravel dumped on soft subgrade. We’ll match the dig to what’s on your lot; you can confirm the soil unit on the USDA Web Soil Survey.
