Site Preparation in Cedar Creek, TX
Site preparation in Cedar Creek that turns raw or overgrown land into a clean, level, build-ready site for your home, shop or next project.
The Service
What Does Site Preparation Include?
Site preparation is everything that has to happen to a piece of land before construction can begin. It takes a raw or overgrown property and turns it into a clean, workable site that a builder can step onto and get started. Site prep is right there in our name, and depending on the land, it can include:
Clearing
Land clearing and brush clearing to open the property up.
Demolition
Demolition services for old structures that are in the way.
Excavation
Excavation to cut down high spots and dig where the plans call for it.
Grading
Land grading to set the slope so water drains away from the building.
Building Pads
Building pad construction for a level, compacted base.
Hauling
Material hauling to bring in fill and haul off what isn't needed.
Why It Matters
Why Is Site Prep Important Before You Build?
A building is only as good as the ground underneath it. When a site isn't prepared the right way, you can end up with water pooling against a foundation, soil settling unevenly or a driveway that washes out after the first big storm.
Good site preparation sets the right grade, removes material that shouldn't be built on and gives your builder a clean, level place to work. It keeps the rest of the project on track, too, because crews that arrive to a ready site can get right to it. In parts of Central Texas where heavy clay soils swell when they're wet and shrink when they dry out, that groundwork matters even more.
Working With Your Builder
Getting a Lot Ready for a New Home, Shop or Barn
Most site prep jobs start with a plan for what's going on the land. If you're working with a builder, share their requirements for the pad and the grade, and we'll match the dirt work to them. If you're still planning, we'll talk through where the building, the driveway and the drainage make the most sense.
Because we handle clearing, demolition, excavation, grading, pads and hauling, you don't have to line up a different contractor for each step. One family-owned crew keeps the work moving in the right order, and we keep you informed every step of the way until the site is ready.

Questions
Site Preparation FAQ
Quick answers about site preparation from the Trejo Site Prep team.
Is site preparation the same thing as land clearing?
Not quite. Land clearing is often the first part of site prep, but site preparation covers everything needed to get the ground ready to build, including grading, pads and removing old structures.
Can you remove an old house or barn as part of site prep?
Yes. Our demolition services take down old houses, barns, sheds and other structures so the site can move straight into clearing and grading.
Do you bring in fill dirt for site prep jobs?
Yes. Through our material hauling service, we can bring in fill or base material and haul off soil, rock and debris the job doesn't need.
