Preparing Building Sites Around Bertram
Bertram has some of the better pad ground in Burnet County. Real soil depth north and east of town means straightforward cut and fill work without fighting rock, and material pits are close, which matters because hauling is often a bigger line item than machine time.
Deeper soil does mean the compaction work has to be done properly. Ground that was never stripped and compacted will settle under a slab, and no amount of good concrete fixes that.
West of town the limestone comes up and the job changes. Solid subgrade, but hammer work if the grade has to come down. Test holes along the footprint tell us which one you have.
Site Preparation Services for Residential and Commercial Properties
Texas Grading supports residential and commercial projects with dependable site preparation services. We help create suitable conditions for construction while improving site accessibility and overall project readiness.
House Pads
Cut, filled and compacted to a set size and elevation. Graded so nothing drains toward the structure.
Barn, Shop and Barndominium Pads
Larger pads for metal buildings, built with the same compaction and drainage as a house pad.
Grading to Plan
Working to staked elevations for a builder, or by eye for a barn. Whichever the job needs.
Leveling Uneven Ground
Cut the high, fill the low, compact the fill. Usable ground where there was a slope.
Getting the Water Right
Fall away from the structure on all sides, and somewhere for that water to actually go.
Our Site Preparation Process
On the Ground First
Nothing gets quoted off a map. Access, soil, rock and drainage all get looked at.
Set Elevation and Fall
Where the finished floor sits and where water goes are the two decisions that matter most.
Build It Properly
Strip the topsoil, compact the subgrade, place fill in lifts. No shortcuts under a slab.
Walk It With You
Finished grade checked together before we call it done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bertram good ground for a pad?
North and east of town, yes. Enough soil depth for straightforward cut and fill, and material is close by.
What does compaction actually do?
Removes the air and settles the material now rather than later under your slab. Fill that was not compacted in lifts will move.
Can you build the pad and the road on one trip?
Yes, and it is cheaper. Moving equipment twice is a real cost.
How long does a house pad take?
On good ground often a day or two. Rock, imported material or a big cut and fill add to that. We will tell you after we have looked.
