Pads, drives, tanks and site prep in Graham and Young County, from the same crew that clears the ground first.

Most dirt work that comes to us from the Graham area is one piece of a bigger project: a new house or barndominium on acreage that needs the site cleared, a pad built, a drive cut in off the county road and water run to it. We price that as one job with one mobilization rather than four separate trips.

We have built pads in Graham — the photo on this page is one of them — and we work the rest of Young County the same way: Loving, Olney, South Bend and the lake roads north of town.

The ground around Graham

Young County red dirt can be good pad material or it can be sandy and loose, and it changes across a single property. We check what is on site before deciding how much select fill has to come in.

What we do most here

House, barndominium and shop pads
Driveways, culverts and county road entrances
Stock tank building and silted-tank cleanout
Site prep and grading for new builds
Trenching for water and power
Old house, barn and mobile home removal

Worth knowing before you start

Entrances. A new drive onto a state highway (SH 16, SH 67, SH 380) needs a TxDOT access driveway permit; county road approaches go through Young County. We size the culvert for the ditch either way.
Buried lines. Old oil-field tracts often have pipelines and lease lines. Every dig starts with a Texas811 locate.
Tanks. Late summer through winter is the time to dig or clean out a tank — a dry tank digs cheaper and packs better.
