Manor Land Grading for Homes, Ranches & Development Projects
Manor sits on blackland prairie east of Austin, and that dirt behaves differently from anything in the Hill Country. It is deep, it holds water, and it swells and shrinks with the seasons. Anything built on it, a pad, a road, a pond dam, has to account for that movement or it cracks.
We work the acreage between Manor and Elgin and north toward Coupland. A lot of that ground is still in hay and grazing and a lot of it is changing hands as Austin pushes east. Either way the work is the same. Building pads that drain, roads that shed water, ponds that hold, and old structures taken down and hauled off.
The other thing about this country is that it is flat. Water does not run off blackland quickly, it sits. Where you put a pad or a pond matters more here than it does on sloped ground, because the wrong low spot gives you a mud hole instead of an improvement. We walk the drainage before we pick a location.
We run bulldozers and excavators out of Johnson City. Most work goes on a day rate covering machine, operator, fuel and getting the equipment to you. Where the scope is defined we will bid it firm.
Ideal for:
- Homesite and barndominium preparation

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of work do you do around Manor?
Building pads, grading and reshaping, ranch roads and driveways, drainage correction, pond and stock tank construction, and demolition with haul off.
Is Manor soil good to build on?
It is good pond dirt and it needs care as building ground. Blackland moves with moisture, so pads and roads have to be compacted properly and built to drain. Done right it holds up fine.
How is the work priced?
Day rate on open ended dirt work, covering machine, operator, fuel and mobilization. Fixed price when the scope is clearly defined, like a pad at a set size.
When is the best time to schedule?
Late summer through winter. Wet blackland is slow to work and hard on your pasture getting equipment in.
