Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for land clearing or grading in Walters?

Most residential lot work doesn't require a permit, but larger projects, site prep for commercial use, or drainage changes often do. We coordinate with Cotton County to confirm requirements for your project.

What's the best approach to prevent flooding on my property?

Proper grading with correct slope, swales, and drainage channels directs water away from your foundation and structures. A site assessment helps us design the right solution for your property.

Can you handle both small residential and large commercial projects?

Yes. We work on residential lot clearing, yard grading, and small excavations as well as commercial site development, multi-acre land prep, and utility installation projects.

How do you handle underground utilities when digging?

We call for utility locates before any digging starts. This marks water, sewer, gas, and electric lines so our crew avoids damage and keeps everyone safe.

What should I expect for land clearing on wooded property?

We remove trees, brush, and stumps, then haul debris. We can chip brush, salvage wood, or arrange recycling. After clearing, the site is ready for grading or construction.

Are you equipped to build or restore ponds?

Yes. We excavate new ponds to correct depth and grade, clean out old ponds by removing sediment, and install liners or spillway systems as needed.
