Dirt work in this part of the county is ranch work. Stock tanks that need to hold water, entrances that need to take a gooseneck, barn and arena pads, interior roads, and trenches to run water and power across a pasture — the photo here is one of those, between Strawn and Gordon.

We price the whole property improvement as one job when it makes sense, rather than a task at a time.

The ground around Palo Pinto

Tanks are the job where ground matters most here: a tank has to be keyed into clay to hold. Where there is clay on site, the dam is built from it; where there is not, we will tell you before you spend the money.

What we do most here

New stock tanks and silted-tank cleanout
Ranch entrances and cattle guard sets
Barn, arena and equipment shed pads
Water and power line trenching
Interior ranch roads

Worth knowing before you start

Tank timing. Late summer through winter is the time to dig or clean a tank.
Locates. Every trench starts with a Texas811 locate.

My tank goes dry every summer. Can it be fixed?

Usually. It is normally a leaking dam, not enough depth, or too small a watershed. We will tell you which before quoting a fix.

Can you trench a water line across a pasture?

Yes. We dig it, lay it where the plumber or you want it, and backfill so the pasture is usable again.
