Dirt Work & Excavation FAQ: Paris, TX

There is no flat per-acre price, because every property is different: acreage, how thick the brush and timber are, tree size, slope and soft ground, access for equipment, and what you want done with the debris all change it. Bigger jobs cost less per acre. For a ballpark range, try our price calculator. The final price comes after a free site visit, and residential bids are usually back to you by the next day.

It depends on the length and width of the drive, the condition of the ground underneath, how much base and gravel it needs, and whether a culvert is needed where it meets the road. Our gravel driveways go down on TxDOT-approved fabric so they last longer. Enter your length and width in our price calculator for a ballpark range, then call or send the estimate form for a free written bid.

Estimates are free. Residential bids are usually turned around by the next day, and we get commercial bids in on time.

Most residential jobs start within 30 days, often sooner. Timing depends on whether the job is residential or commercial, its size, and the weather. We’ll give you a timeline with your bid.

Light weather doesn’t stop us. As one customer put it, “Unless the sky is falling out, they will work in rain or shine!” Some tasks, like compacting a house pad or finishing a driveway, have to wait until the ground is dry enough to do it right.
