Site Clearing & Mass Grading

Site clearing and mass grading establish the foundation for every industrial project in the DFW Metroplex. Before any structure can rise, the land must be prepared: vegetation cleared, unsuitable soils removed, elevations established, and the site shaped to meet drainage and building requirements.

Clearing operations range from open fields requiring minimal work to heavily wooded sites needing complete vegetation removal. We handle tree removal, stump grinding, and debris disposal in compliance with local regulations. Some municipalities have tree preservation requirements that affect clearing plans. We navigate these requirements efficiently.

Mass grading shapes the site to final elevations shown on civil drawings. This involves cutting high areas, filling low areas, and achieving proper compaction throughout. In North Texas, where expansive clay soils are common, moisture conditioning and proper compaction are critical to avoid future settlement problems.

Erosion control is required throughout earthwork operations. We install sediment basins, silt fencing, and inlet protection to prevent offsite discharge. These best management practices are maintained throughout construction until permanent stabilization is complete.
