Site Preparation Around Dripping Springs
Dripping Springs is one of the few places we work where what is under the pad deserves as much attention as the pad itself. This is karst country, limestone with voids and soft spots that do not show on the surface, and a pad built over one of those will crack down the middle a couple of years later.
So we test hole every structural pad here. It costs an hour and it has saved plenty of people a great deal of money.
Beyond that the work is standard. Strip the topsoil, cut and fill to the elevation you need, compact in lifts, and grade so water leaves the structure on all sides.
Site Preparation Services We Offer in Dripping Springs, TX
Texas Grading offers professional land preparation services that help establish safe and workable site conditions. Our solutions support a wide range of construction and development projects across residential, commercial, and rural properties.
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
Look at the Ground
Soil depth, rock, drainage and access. All four decide what the pad costs.
Work Out the Numbers
Size, elevation, cut and fill volumes and how the site will drain when it is done.
Move the Dirt
Strip, shape, fill in lifts and compact. The part nobody sees is the part that matters.
Check It Over
Grade verified and drainage shaped, then walked with you before the equipment leaves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you test hole before a pad here?
Because this is karst. Limestone with voids in it that you cannot see from the surface. A pad built over one settles unevenly and cracks whatever is on it.
Do recharge zone rules apply?
They can, depending on the site and how much ground is being disturbed. We will raise it if it looks like it applies to yours.
What is a barndominium pad?
Same thing as a house pad, usually bigger. Cut and filled to a set size and elevation, compacted, and graded to drain away from the structure.
Can you work to my builder plans?
Yes. We grade to staked elevations and plan sheets, or build a pad by eye if that is what you need. Tell us which.
