Clearing and tanks in Sanger
North Denton County on I-35 — town lots on one side, Lake Ray Roberts acreage on the other.
Dirt work that matches this city.
Sanger is north of Denton, where FM 156 meets I-35, ZIP 76266. In town we grade yards and fix drainage on residential lots. Outside town, toward the lake, the work is clearing, house and barn pads, and stock tanks. We quote those as different jobs instead of sending a pasture machine down a city street.
Soil & ground
Northern Denton County clay, with sandier Cross Timbers pockets nearer Lake Ray Roberts. Low ground toward the Elm Fork already has a path for water. We do not set a pad in a bowl and call the grade finished.
Permits & locates
City of Sanger and unincorporated Denton County split the ZIP. If the tract is near the Elm Fork or the lake, we ask about floodplain before we scrape. Utility trenches and footings wait on locates.
