Dirt Work in Graford & Possum Kingdom Lake, TX
Pads, drives, culverts and site prep from a crew that lives here. Most of our dirt work is within thirty minutes of the PK dam.
Dirt work at the lake is mostly about two things: getting a pad to sit on rock without moving, and getting a driveway down a hill without it washing out. We do both every week, along with the culverts, trenches and cleanup that come with any new build or remodel around PK.
Around Graford itself it is ranch and homestead work — barn and shop pads, county road entrances, interior roads and tank work. If you are building, we will work with your builder's elevations or walk the site with you and help pick the spot that drains best.
The ground around Graford
Around PK the cut is often rock within a foot or two. That can be good news for a foundation and bad news for a trench, and it is the biggest single thing that moves a dirt work price here — which is why we look before we quote.
What we do most here
- Cabin and house pads on rock
- Steep driveway builds, rebuilds and washout repair
- Culverts and county road approaches
- Water, power and septic line trenching
- Shop, barn and RV pads
- Erosion and drainage work above the shoreline
Worth knowing before you start
- Driveways off a state highway. A new drive onto a state highway (like SH 16 or SH 254) needs a TxDOT access driveway permit. County road approaches go through the county. We will tell you which one applies before the work starts.
- Lake permits. Work on the water side — docks, boathouses and anything over the reservoir bed — is permitted by the Brazos River Authority, not the county.
- Septic. Septic systems are designed and installed by licensed installers. We clear and prep the site and dig the trenches when the installer wants us to.
