A house pad and a shop pad on Petes Lane, then the drive and a drain, because this clay sheds water. Septic is the dig only. The installer builds the system.
On these lots the dig is a house pad, a shop pad, driveway base, French drains, grading, and trenches for co-op water and electric. Septic work is the excavation and the spoil haul-off for a licensed installer. We do not install the system.
The neighborhood
Petes Lane acreage, north of the high school.
North of town, on Petes Lane. The listing puts Ponder High about 0.8 miles off, the junior high about 0.9, and the elementary about a mile. Knight Lane is the north and west edge. Block A is the plat, Ponder 76259. If you want a second place to live or a workshop, that shop pad belongs in the same quote as the house.
It's residential acreage, and the plat is already approved. Lot 7 is 1.70 acres. Lots 7, 8, and 9 together are about 5. The listing calls out a second residence or a workshop, which is why the shop pad belongs in the quote with the house. The road in is all-weather asphalt, city-street frontage. Utilities on the listing are septic, co-op water, and electricity.
The ground
Sanger and Slidell clay that drains slowly.
USDA maps Sanger clay and Slidell clay here, each on 1–3% slopes. Both are Hydrologic Soil Group D, heavy clay that drains slowly and sheds water instead of soaking it up. The same map units are rated very limited for local roads and streets, and very limited for septic absorption fields. Native clay will not carry a drive. The base is gravel or rock on compacted subgrade. French drains and finish grade send water toward a platted drainage easement. Trenches for co-op water and electric start after Texas 811 marks the public lines.
No HOA on this listing
The homeowner hires the crew.
The listing records association type as None. There is no HOA on this listing, and no association to schedule the dig through. Deed restrictions still apply, and they include no mobile homes. Trinity works for the lot owner. You check those restrictions before we track onto the lot. Recorded drainage, utility, and water-line easements stay on the plan, and we do not cut through them.
The company is based in Ponder, TX 76259, the same ZIP as Petes Lane. Matt Hall owns it, is a veteran, and has 10+ years in excavation. Reach him at (940) 435-4727, Mon–Fri 7 AM–5 PM, closed Saturday and Sunday.
Sequence
How a Ranchman's Estates job runs
The quote follows the pad, the drive, and where this clay sheds water. Photos of the lot start it.
01
Send Petes Lane
Text the address and photos of the pad, the drive, or the wet ground to (940) 435-4727. Say whether the dig is a house pad, a shop pad, a drive, a drain, a trench, or a septic hole.
02
Name the clay
We treat the lot as Sanger clay and Slidell clay on 1–3% slopes, Group D, until the cut shows otherwise. Both are rated very limited for roads and for septic absorption fields.
03
Write a residential scope
The quote lists house and shop pads, driveway base, French drains, grading, co-op water and electric trenches, or septic excavation. It is written after we see the lot. Hours are Mon–Fri 7 AM–5 PM, closed Saturday and Sunday.
04
Locate, then open the ground
Public lines are marked through Texas 811 before a trench opens. Co-op water and electric are the services on the listing. Anything 811 does not mark is yours to flag. Septic spoils are dug for a licensed installer. We do not install the system.
05
Leave the pads and the grade
You get the pads, the drive base, and the grade that were in the scope. There is no HOA on this listing. Deed restrictions, including no mobile homes, are still yours to confirm.
