Site Development & Earthwork
Precision grading for a Solid Future.
The Importance of Good Soil
In Ellis County, the stability of any structure is determined before the concrete is ever poured. The local black gumbo clay is notoriously expansive, capable of heaving foundations if not properly managed.
Hunter Excavation specializes in moisture-conditioned house pads and commercial sites. We don't just push dirt; we engineer soil. By excavating to the correct depth, treating the subgrade, and importing low-PI select fill, we effectively inoculate your foundation against future movement.
From clearing raw pasture land to laser-grading the final building pad, we handle every stage of site preparation with heavy iron and fine-tuned skill.
House Pads
Engineered pads built with moisture-conditioned select fill, compacted in 6-8 inch lifts to ensure density and stability.
Land Clearing
Heavy-duty grubbing and brush removal. We strip mesquite, stumps, and root systems to reclaim land for development.
Mass Grading
Large-scale cut and fill operations to level subdivisions, commercial lots, and industrial yards for proper drainage.
