A pad is only as good as what you can't see: the lifts under it and the drainage around it. We set pad elevation and the drainage plan before any dirt moves, call in 811 locates before excavation, then build the pad in compacted lifts and proof-roll between them, so soft spots show up under our equipment instead of your foundation. Culverts and the driveway approach get built into the same scope. Same crew, two markets: a house pad in the country or a drill pad in the Haynesville.
Same iron, two markets. One operator to bid both.
Homes, barns, shops, outbuildings.
Clear the footprint and the approach. Strip the topsoil and stockpile it, you keep it for landscaping. Set the pad elevation off the drainage plan, place fill in compacted lifts, proof-roll, and cut the drainage so the pad sheds water away from the slab. Culvert set and driveway built in the same mobilization. Walk it with your builder before the foundation crew arrives.
Drill pads, lay-down yards, compressor sites.
Clear to compacted pad. Vegetation removal, topsoil strip and stockpile, access road, fill placed in lifts with compaction and proof-rolls to the operator's spec, SWPPP and BMP installation. 811 locates cleared before the first bucket. Haynesville multi-well pads, LNG-corridor lay-down yards, compressor station sites, integrity-dig staging. Coastal-permit literate where the job runs south.
Residential single-family pad: typically 1–3 days clear-to-compacted. Industrial multi-well drill pad: 4–10 days depending on size and topography.
Single-pad residential through multi-pad industrial campaigns. We bid both.

Site walk. Mobilize. Execute. Walk off.
We walk the property with you, on the ground or by drone. Acreage, terrain, access, wet spots, utility crossings, trees you want kept, and the finish you actually want. The quote comes from the walk, not a satellite guess.
Equipment lowboys in. 811 locates called and cleared before any ground-engaging work: Louisiana 811, Texas 811, or Mississippi 811, depending on where the job sits. SWPPP and erosion control set on industrial sites. COI, named-additional-insured, and waiver-of-subrogation endorsements issued on request.
The iron does the work: our forestry mulcher, excavators, and dozers as the job calls for. Daily check-ins. Drone progress shots on jobs over 5 acres. Daily SWPPP inspection on industrial sites.
Demobilize, restore the staging areas, final walk with you or your rep. Drone before/after package on jobs over 5 acres. Invoice when you sign off, not before.
