- Driveways, Parking Lots & Culverts – Base compacted in lifts; culverts sized for local flows and set to protect entrances.
- Rough & Final Grade – Shape water movement, then finish smooth for sod, seed, or immediate use.
- Excavation & Demolition – Trenching, removals, and safe tear-downs with debris management.
- On-Site Planning & Consulting – Walk-throughs, phasing, and cost-smart scopes aligned to your long-term plan.
Local Site Considerations in Montgomery County
- Mixed soils (sandy loam to heavier clays) can vary across a single tract; we evaluate soils before pads, roads, or ponds.
- Lake Conroe corridors often demand careful drainage and access planning to reduce erosion and protect shoreline-adjacent improvements.
- Pine and hardwood stands benefit from selective clearing: preserve healthy, non-invasive trees that add shade and value; remove hazard/invasives.
- Access matters – Properly compacted bases and correctly sized culverts prevent washouts during heavy rain events.
- Sequencing saves money – Align clearing with future pads, drives, utilities, and water features to avoid rework.
How Our Process Works (Step by Step)
- Walk-Through & Goals – Confirm boundaries, utilities, keep/remove trees, watershed considerations, and the phases ahead (home, barn, arena, pond, fencing).
- Plan & Estimate – Clear scope and itemized pricing based on billable machine hours + transport (and any disposal).
- Execute – The right machines and attachments for high production with controlled ground impact.
- Finish & Handoff – Clean, build-ready sites with drainage set and debris handled.
Ponds & Lakes—Built to Hold in Texas Conditions
We build ponds that perform in real-world Montgomery County conditions. Expect 2:1 dam slopes for safe mowing, 10–12 ft dam crests for vehicle access, keyways to block seepage, and ~1-ft clay liners compacted in lifts. We set spillways/overflows with a laser so level control protects the dam and downstream areas. For fishing, we tailor depth to acreage and add structure (brush piles, upturned stumps, ledges) to support forage and game fish.
