Dirt work and site prep
Dirt work and site prep near Grand Saline, TX
Clearing, grading and leveling so the ground is ready for what comes next. Reliable Tree Service and Land Clearing is based in Fruitvale, locally owned and operated, and veteran owned.
What dirt work and site prep includes
If you own land near Grand Saline that needs to be cleared, leveled or shaped, we do that dirt work: site grading, land leveling, house and building pads, excavation, ponds and driveways. Site prep is the work between raw ground and whatever you plan to put on it.
Clearing and dirt work usually happen on the same ground, one after the other. We do both, so you can deal with one company from the first phone call to the last day on site.
What we do on a site

- Clearing the site: trees and brush come out first.
- Site grading and land leveling: slopes, humps and low spots worked before anything goes on top.
- House and building pads: level ground for a house, a shop or a barn.
- Excavation: digging and moving dirt where the job needs it.
- Ponds and driveways: dirt work for a pond, and grading for a driveway on your land.
- Drainage: grading that changes where water goes.
- Landscaping: ground shaped for a yard, a lawn or a planting area.
Why we do the clearing and the dirt work
If we are clearing a lot and you plan to build on it, we know the ground will be graded next, so we plan the clearing so the stumps and roots are out of the way. When one company does both, fewer details get lost between steps. See our land clearing work too. If you are building, read about land clearing for new construction.

Questions about dirt work
It depends on the site. Most jobs start with clearing trees and brush, then leveling or grading the ground for what you plan to put on it. We listen to your plans and put the work in a free estimate.
Yes. Clearing is one of our services, and we can do it as the first part of a dirt work job. Trees, brush and stumps are all part of that plan. Call 903-980-0809 and tell us what is on your lot.
Grading can change how water moves across a property, so drainage is part of our dirt work. Describe where the water sits and when, and we take it from there. For an answer on your property, call 903-980-0809.
