“Extremely pleased with the dirt work that was done around our house. Great job!”
The foundation under your foundation
Whether you’re putting up a new home, a metal shop, a barn or a commercial building, Circle H prepares the site: clearing, cut and fill, building up and compacting the pad, and shaping the surrounding grade for drainage.
Northeast Texas clay moves when it gets wet and dry, so pad work is about more than pushing dirt flat. We work to your builder’s plans and specifications and keep you in the loop from bid to final grade.
One customer put it simply: they’d recommend us “for anything from smaller projects like driveways and house pads to big projects such as commercial projects.”
