Before the builder

A Pad Your Builder Will Thank You For

Every construction project in East Texas starts with the same question: is the pad right? A pad that is out of level, soft in the middle, or draining toward the slab costs real money to fix after concrete shows up. We make sure that conversation never happens.

We clear the footprint, strip unsuitable topsoil, build the pad up in compacted lifts, and finish to the elevation your builder specifies, with the ground around it shaped to move water away from the future slab.

This is the expansive clay belt. Pads here are not just dirt piles. They are engineered moisture management, and the compaction schedule matters. We build them like it matters.

How it works

Our Process

01. Get the specs

Elevation, size, and slab type from you or straight from your builder. We speak builder fluently.

02. Quote it

Free, in writing, by the job, including fill if the site needs it. You know the whole number up front.

03. Build the pad

Cleared, stripped, built up in compacted lifts, and shaped so water moves away from the future slab.

04. Hand it off

Grade checked and site clean so the next trade rolls straight on. Builders remember who made their job easy.

Questions

Site Prep Questions

How big should a house pad be?

The pad should extend past the slab footprint on every side, and how far depends on the home and the site. We build to whatever your builder or engineer specifies, and if you are early in planning we can talk through typical dimensions on the walk-through.

Do you work directly with builders?

All the time, and we like it that way. Give us your builder’s contact and we will coordinate elevations and schedules directly so nothing gets lost between you and the two of us.

What is select fill and do I need it?

Select fill is soil with the right clay and sand mix to compact predictably under a slab. On expansive East Texas clay, many builds spec it for the top lifts of the pad. If your builder requires it, we source and install it as part of the job.

Can you prep a site that still has trees and brush on it?

Yes, that is the normal order of things. We clear the footprint, grub the roots out of the building area, and move straight into pad work. One crew, one quote, no handoff gap.
