Excavation & Site Work

Excavation and Site Work in the Hill Country

The same equipment and crew that install septic systems through Hill Country rock also clear land, build pads and driveways, and haul material. For new construction, we can prepare the site and install the septic system under one contract.

On a new home site, sequencing matters. The lot is cleared, the pad is built and utilities are run, all while protecting the area reserved for the septic field from heavy traffic. When one company handles both the site work and the septic system, that coordination is built into the project from the start.

  • Company-owned equipment: Kubota excavators, hydraulic rock hammer, track loaders, dump trucks and a lowboy.
  • Locally based: on FM 2722 in Comal County.
  • Residential and commercial projects of every size.
