Building Pads in Burnet County
Burnet County pads are decided by how deep the granite or limestone sits. Where rock is close you have a subgrade that will carry anything, and the only cost is any grade that has to come down through it. Hammer work is priced by the day because nobody can honestly quote breaking rock they have not touched.
Where the rock is shallow, building the pad up with imported material usually beats cutting into it. It costs less, it goes faster and it drains better. We price both options where the site allows a choice.
Whatever the ground, the process is the same. Strip the topsoil, shape the subgrade, compact fill in lifts, grade so water leaves the structure on every side.
Site Preparation Services We Offer in Burnet, TX
Texas Grading offers site preparation services for residential, commercial, agricultural, and ranch properties throughout Burnet, TX. Our work helps create suitable site conditions that support construction, land development, and future property improvement projects of all sizes.
House Pads
The platform your slab sits on. Topsoil off, fill in compacted lifts, and finished grade falling away on every side.
Barndominium Pads
Built the same way as a house pad and usually larger. Room to work around the building and proper drainage.
Site Grading
Reshaping ground to the levels a build needs, and fixing the fall so water goes where it should.
Leveling and Reshaping
Turning uneven ground into something workable with cuts, fills and compaction.
Drainage Preparation
Swales, fall and finished grade planned so runoff leaves the site instead of collecting at the building.
Our Site Preparation Process
We Walk the Site
Where the water goes, how deep the soil is, what elevation you need and whether equipment can reach it.
We Set the Levels
Finished elevation, how much cut, how much fill, and where the water is going to go once it is built.
We Build the Pad
Topsoil off, subgrade compacted, fill placed in lifts and compacted as it goes up.
We Check the Grade
Finished levels checked and the surrounding ground shaped to drain before we pull off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will rock make my pad more expensive?
Only where we have to cut through it. Rock under the pad is free structure. Rock in the way of your finished elevation means hammer time, priced by the day.
Is it cheaper to build up than dig down?
On rocky ground usually yes, and it drains better too. We will quote both if the site gives us the option.
How big should a barndominium pad be?
Bigger than the building footprint, so there is working room and so the edges are not right at the fill line. Bring your plans and we will size it.
Do you compact in lifts?
Yes, every time. Fill dumped in one go settles unevenly and that is what cracks slabs.
