Site prep

Site preparation for DFW builds

From raw lot to a pad the builder can stake — stripping, grading, and compaction in the right order.

How we run this work.

Site prep is the unglamorous work that keeps a house from cracking and a shop from ponding. We strip organics, set subgrade, place fill in lifts, and leave a pad that matches the engineer’s numbers when you have them — or a practical field grade when you do not.

  • Organic strip and topsoil stockpile
  • Building pad and driveway subgrade
  • Select fill and compaction in lifts
  • Temporary construction access and laydown
  • Coordination with survey, plumber, and foundation crews

Sequence on the lot

01

Read the plan

FFEs, driveway slope, and where the septic or utilities land change how we cut the lot.

02

Build the pad

Strip, fill, compact. Clay in North Texas does not forgive a rushed lift.

03

Hand off

A site the next trade can occupy without re-grading our work.
