Earthwork Services
Site earthwork creates the foundation for all building construction. As your general contractor for earthwork services, we deliver complete site development from rough grading through final landscape grades for property owners building commercial and industrial facilities across North Texas.
Earthwork represents the first major construction activity on development projects. Rough grading establishes building pads and site grades. Excavation creates foundations. Fine grading prepares for paving and landscaping. Quality earthwork provides stable foundations for buildings and infrastructure; poor earthwork causes ongoing problems with settlement, drainage, and building performance.
DeSoto Concrete Contractors provides turnkey earthwork services as part of our general contracting capabilities. We coordinate earthwork with civil engineering plans, manage imported and exported material, control drainage during construction, and deliver sites ready for building construction and infrastructure installation.
Earthwork services include mass grading and site clearing, building pad construction, utility trench excavation, material import or export, subgrade stabilization, storm water management, erosion control, and finished landscape grading.
North Texas clay soils require specific earthwork approaches. Moisture content critically affects soil workability and compaction. Weather impacts earthwork schedules more than most construction activities. We plan earthwork considering seasonal conditions and maintain flexibility to adjust operations when weather demands it.

How do soil conditions affect earthwork timing and cost?
Clay soils become unworkable when wet, stopping earthwork until sites dry. Wet conditions may require stabilization treatment adding cost. We schedule earthwork considering seasonal weather patterns and include contingencies for weather delays.
Do you handle both cut and fill earthwork?
Yes. We balance cut and fill when possible to minimize material hauling. When sites require material import or export, we coordinate with appropriate disposal or borrow sources and include hauling in project pricing.
How do you control erosion during earthwork?
Erosion control includes silt fencing at site perimeters, slope protection on disturbed areas, inlet protection preventing sediment in storm systems, and temporary stabilization of exposed soils. Municipal requirements typically mandate specific erosion control measures.
What testing is required for earthwork?
Compaction testing verifies fill has been placed to specified density. Testing frequency depends on municipal requirements - typically every 500-1000 cubic yards. We coordinate testing and provide documentation.
