Drainage
We cut ditches, shape swales, set driveway culverts and regrade the low spots where water stands on your property.

Excavation covers the digging side of dirt work around Buna, Vidor, Silsbee, Lumberton and all across Texas — the jobs where material has to come out of the ground, not just get pushed across it. We dig with our own excavator: site dig-outs before a pad goes in, pond and retention basins opened up, banks cut back, and the mess dug out when something's gone wrong under the surface.
Digging pairs with everything else we do. A pond starts as an excavation job. A pad on soft ground starts with digging out the muck and replacing it with material that packs. A wet lot starts with the ditch and culvert work that gives the water somewhere to go. One estimate covers the digging as part of the plan instead of hired out separately.

Most excavation around here is about water in the end. This country is flat, wet and generous with rain, and ground that does not drain rules everything built on it. Every hole we dig gets planned with that in mind: where the spoil goes, which way the site falls afterward, and what happens to the low corner in the first big storm.
The ditches, swales and driveway culverts that carry water off a property are their own line of work, and they have their own page: drainage and culverts. Here the job is the digging itself, done so the water work and the dirt work fit together instead of fighting each other.
Some ground can't be built on as-is — the black gumbo that pumps under a loaded truck, the corner of the site that never firms up, the old fill somebody buried stumps in twenty years ago. The fix is honest and mechanical: dig out the bad material, get down to ground that holds, and bring the hole back up with dirt that packs.
That kind of dig-out is the unglamorous start of a lot of good pads. It's also where experience with this exact dirt earns its money — knowing how deep the soft goes, what's under it, and when a wet week means the smart move is waiting. We'll tell you the truth about your ground, even when the truth is "not this week."
The excavator and the dozer are better together than either is alone. The excavator digs, lifts, and works precisely in tight spots; the dozer moves volume and finishes grade. A pond job digs with one and shapes banks with the other. A site job digs out the bad, then blades in the good. Because both machines are ours, the job doesn't stall waiting on a subcontractor's schedule.
If your project has digging in it, a dig-out, a basin, a pond, or something we haven't listed, the first step is the same free walk-through as everything else we do. We'll look at the ground, tell you what we'd dig and why, and put a real number on it.
From the first walk of the property to the last pass of the blade, here is exactly how it goes.
We come see the property — the trees, the brush, the ground under it, and how wet it runs. What you want cleared, what's worth keeping, and what the job really takes. No blind quotes over the phone.
You get a free estimate with a real number and a real timeline. It covers what's included — clearing, dirt, shaping, debris — and it holds unless the scope changes.
The dozer, excavator or mulcher shows up when we said and does the job the way we quoted it. Anything unexpected in the ground, you hear about it immediately, not on the invoice.
We walk the finished ground with you before we call it done. Clean lines, shaped banks, a pad you can build on or a pasture you can mow. Done means you say it's done.

Dozer, excavator and tracked mulcher under one roof. Clearing, dirt work, grading and the pond get done as one job with one estimate — not three contractors pointing at each other.
We walk the property, tell you what the ground actually needs — and what it does not — and hand you a real number. No phone guesses, no surprise extras.
Sandy uplands, gumbo clay bottoms, wet winters and brush that never quits — this is the only dirt we have ever worked, and we build for what it does.
Land to clear, a pad to build, brush that's won too many summers, or a pond you've been thinking about for years? Call or send the form and we'll walk the property with you and hand you a free estimate — straight answers from the family that's worked this dirt since 1990.
