Site Prep Around Leander
Leander sits on the seam between Hill Country rock and deeper prairie soil, and a single property can have both. That makes test holes along the pad footprint worth the hour, because pricing off the general area gets you the wrong number about half the time.
Where rock is close, the subgrade carries load and the only cost is cutting grade. Where the soil is deep, digging is easy and the compaction work is what matters.
The other Leander factor is runoff from upstream development. A pad that would have been fine ten years ago can now sit in the path of water coming off new rooftops and pavement. We look at what is above a site before setting the elevation.
Our Site Preparation Services
Texas Grading provides site preparation solutions designed to help property owners get their land ready for upcoming projects. We work with a variety of property types, creating functional conditions that support construction and long-term land use.
House Pads
Stripped, cut and filled to your elevation, compacted in lifts and graded to shed water away from the slab.
Barndominium and Shop Pads
Bigger footprints, same discipline. Sized with working room around the building and drained on all four sides.
Grading and Shaping
Getting the ground to the elevation and fall the project needs, whether that is a building site or a whole field.
Cut and Fill
Moving material from the high side to the low side to make usable ground out of a slope.
Drainage and Fall
Shaping the site so water leaves the structure and goes somewhere it will not cause a problem.
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
Why do you test hole?
Because the ground varies enormously over short distances here. Rock on one part of a property and deep soil a hundred yards away.
Can new development uphill affect my pad?
Yes. More water arrives faster than the old drainage was built for. We set elevation and drainage for what is upstream now.
Do you build barndominium pads?
Regularly. Same construction as a house pad, usually a bigger footprint, graded to drain away on all sides.
Do I need a permit?
Floodplain is the main thing to check, plus city ETJ rules where they reach. We will tell you what we think applies.
