About Earthwork & Excavation
Earthwork and excavation set the foundation for successful concrete construction. Proper mass grading, selective excavation, and soil stabilization create the stable platforms our structural concrete requires. As your general contractor, we provide complete sitework packages that ensure concrete scopes start on solid ground.
North Texas expansive clay soils demand specialized earthwork approaches—lime stabilization for subgrade improvement, moisture control during excavation, and careful compaction to prevent settlement. Our crews understand these local conditions and execute earthwork that prevents the foundation and slab problems common with inadequate soil preparation.
Large commercial and industrial sites require coordination of mass earthwork with utilities, drainage, and building pad preparation. We develop grading plans that balance cut and fill, minimize export costs, and create properly drained sites that support long-term facility operations.
The DFW market's explosive growth creates continuous earthwork demand—new distribution centers, office parks, and manufacturing facilities all requiring mass excavation and site preparation before concrete construction begins. Our self-performed earthwork capability provides schedule control and cost certainty.

Frequently asked questions
Earthwork & Excavation in Irving, TX
Common questions from developers and property owners planning earthwork & excavation projects across North Texas.
Why use the concrete contractor for earthwork?
Integrating earthwork with concrete construction provides schedule coordination, eliminates finger-pointing over subgrade conditions, and ensures the site preparation meets the standards our concrete work requires. Single-source responsibility improves outcomes.
What is lime stabilization and when is it needed?
Lime stabilization chemically strengthens clay soils, reducing expansion potential and creating stable subgrades. North Texas projects frequently require lime treatment for building pads, parking areas, and structural slabs on expansive soils.
How do you handle wet weather excavation?
Texas weather can create muddy site conditions. We employ drainage pumps, stone construction entrances, select fill materials, and adjust schedules when necessary to maintain safe working conditions and proper compaction.
Can you provide both earthwork and concrete on the same project?
Yes, our self-performed earthwork and concrete capabilities provide turnkey site development from mass grading through building construction. This integrated approach accelerates schedules and provides unified project responsibility.
