Earthwork & Demolition
in DFW & East Texas
Modern excavators, dozers, and motor graders moving Texas dirt. Site work handled in-house from clearing to finished grade.
Before anything goes vertical, the dirt has to be right. At Red Dirt Earthworks & Construction, we deploy a modern fleet of GPS-guided yellow iron to handle complex grading, mass excavation, and site preparation across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and deep into East Texas.
Led by a 20-year veteran who knows heavy machinery inside and out, our crews self-perform the critical early phases of your project. We control the schedule, ensure exact compaction and elevation specs, and set the foundation for a successful build.
General Earthwork (Export/Import)
Mass excavation, cut and fill, and site balancing require precision and heavy lifting. We utilize GPS-guided dozers and motor graders to move Texas dirt efficiently, achieving design elevations faster and with less rework. Whether you need to export excess spoils or import select fill to reach grade, we manage the logistics and the heavy hauling.
- Mass grading and site balancing
- Haul-off and import of select fill
- GPS-guided precision grading
Building Pad Preparation
A structure is only as solid as the dirt beneath it. We build engineered pads to exact geotech specifications for commercial buildings, warehouses, and custom homes. We handle the moisture conditioning, lift compaction, and fine grading, coordinating directly with third-party testing firms to ensure every pad passes inspection the first time.
- Engineered pads built to geotech reports
- Proof-rolling and compaction testing coordination
- Fine grading to finished elevation
Demolition
Clearing the way for new development safely and efficiently. We provide structural and site demolition services, including the removal of existing concrete, asphalt, and old foundations. Our crews manage the heavy teardown, debris separation, and complete haul-off, leaving you with a clean slate ready for site work.
- Structure and site demolition
- Concrete and asphalt removal
- Complete debris haul-off and site clearing
Soil Stabilization
Expansive Texas clay requires treatment before you build. We provide lime and cement stabilization to lock up moisture, reduce plasticity, and create a solid subgrade for paving or building pads. Proper stabilization prevents future shifting and structural failure.
- Lime and cement treatment
- Subgrade stabilization for paving
- Moisture conditioning for expansive soils
Erosion Control
Keeping your site compliant and your dirt where it belongs. We implement full SWPPP (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan) measures before breaking ground, installing and maintaining silt fences, inlet protection, and stabilized construction entrances to prevent runoff issues.
- SWPPP implementation
- Silt fence and inlet protection
- Stabilized construction entrances
Land Clearing
From heavily wooded acreage in East Texas to overgrown commercial lots in DFW, we provide complete land clearing services. We handle tree removal, brush clearing, grubbing of stumps and roots, and mulching, delivering a clean, workable site ready for mass grading.
- Lot and acreage clearing
- Tree and brush removal
- Grubbing and mulching
