Dirt work is the first step in building any new construction. It is literally laying the foundation for the foundation! The ground must be prepared appropriately in order to avoid shifting ground (which can crack the concrete foundation), rainwater drainage problems, and tree roots that get in the way of underground utilities.


Here is just a small sample of the many applications of dirt work:


Land clearing Land clearing removes all vegetation from the topsoil. This may include tree removal as well, and when followed up with root raking and stump removal, the likelihood of plants growing back in the area diminishes. Land clearing is useful not only for preparing a building site, but for clearing hunting trails, preventing the spread of forest fires in at-risk areas, creating easements and even clearing land that is intended for a farm, garden or orchard.


Land grading There’s a reason why houses and barns are built on a property’s highest point: they are less likely to flood in heavy rains. But when the property has no natural hills or is in a low-lying area to begin with, land grading ensures that the water flows away from the building pad or foundation and helps to stabilize the soil. Whether you’re planning a to build a house, barn, garage or shed, proper land grading will save you from many headaches in the future.


Berms, swales, retention ponds and detention ponds. Once water moves moves away from buildings thanks to land grading, you may wish to conserve that water or to help it flow into a pond where it won’t leave a soggy mess on your entire property. Creating these channels and ponds requires moving dirt, and at Tex Con Construction, dirt work is one of our specialties. Let us help you create these berms, swales, retention ponds and/or detention ponds with our efficient machinery and knowledgeable team.


Creating a construction entrance or driveway. Dirt work is also useful for creating a construction entrance or preparing the land for a new driveway. This involves clearing the land of vegetation, packing down the soil and grading it if necessary to prepare it for gravel and heavy loads.

Commercial concrete construction must not only be durable, but also attractive and easy to care for. Our commercial clients include hospitals and other medical facilities, offices and shopping centers, where form is just as important as function.


Residential concrete serves multiple purposes, from being purely functional (such as a sturdy and water-resistant foundation) to purely decorative (such as stamped concrete siding). Of course, there are also plenty of residential concrete pouring applications that settle somewhere in the middle, including sidewalks, driveways and patios that need to not only hold up to regular wear and tear, but also need to add that coveted curb appeal.


Industrial concrete requires rigorous attention to detail from the very beginning, starting with the admixtures included in the dry concrete. Tex Con Construction rises to this challenge with ease, as we hold ourselves to high standards regardless of the type of project. Warehouses and manufacturing facilities all have different needs when it comes to the thickness and strength of the concrete, right down to the final details in the non-slip finishes that are needed in these industrial spaces. We are experienced in pour and finish installation and tilt wall industrial structures.

Tex Con Construction has the equipment and knowledge to assist at any stage of construction, from start to clean-up.


One of the first steps that must be taken when preparing a new building site is laying the underground utilities. These include sanitary sewers, storm drainage, fire lines, potable water pipes, gas lines, electric wires, fiber optic cables and lift stations or pumping stations.


Our team can excavate for new lines or pipes to be put in at a construction site, and we can also repair burst pipes, etc., or install new lines on an existing site, such as water lines for a sprinkler system.


We have a variety of materials at our disposal in order to create long-lasting utilities that won’t need to be dug up and repaired for quite a long time. We regularly use SDR, SCH, PVC, HDPE, RCP pipes, among others for diverse projects.
