Land grading is how the ground gets shaped so a lot drains right and builds right. Around Burleson that matters more than it does in most places, because the soil under you is expansive clay. Water that stands against a slab keeps that clay moving, and a moving foundation costs real money to fix. We shape the dirt so rain leaves the building instead of sitting beside it for days after a storm.
Texas Best Demolition runs land grading and site preparation out of Burleson, TX, with about 20 people on staff. We work across southern Tarrant County and northern Johnson County, and out into the wider Fort Worth area. Some jobs are a new building pad for a home or shop, and others are finish grading after a teardown. Call (817) 564-4360 for a free estimate priced at the property.

Most drainage problems around Burleson start with the dirt sitting right under the house or the shop. Expansive clay takes on water and swells up, then dries back out and pulls away from the slab. That slow movement under a slab is what cracks a foundation and sticks doors tight in their frames. Drainage grading keeps rain from pooling against the building, so the clay underneath stays closer to steady.
We start by reading how the lot drains today and where the water already wants to go. Then we cut the high spots and fill the low ones until the ground falls away from the structure. A dozer holds that slope steady across the pad while a wheel loader moves dirt to where it belongs. If the fall has nowhere to end, we grade a swale that carries the water out to the street.
A new home or shop needs a building pad set at the right height on ground that will hold it. Site preparation is all the dirt work that happens before any concrete gets poured on the lot. We clear the footprint, then cut and fill until the pad sits level and true to the plan. The ground around the pad gets shaped at the same time, so water leaves the building instead of sitting.
Pads are not all alike, and the building plan drives how much dirt has to move. A shop slab on flat pasture takes far less work than a house pad cut into a slope. We build to the elevations you or your builder give us, and we hold that grade across the pad. Our trucks and trailers haul in fill or take spoil off the lot, so the job keeps moving.
After a building or a slab comes down, the lot underneath is almost never flat or clean. There are holes where the footings and slabs used to sit, plus piles of dirt left from the work. Lot leveling fills those holes and spreads the loose dirt back out into a clean, even surface. Finish grading is the last pass, and it leaves the lot ready for the next crew to build on.
Monty Cain has run dirt work and demolition around Burleson for decades, and he owns this company. The machines belong to us, so a grading job never waits on a rental yard to free one up. Dozers and wheel loaders set the grade, and three skid loaders handle the tight spots close to a house. Our excavators run from a Bobcat E88 up through the Kobelco 140, 270 and 350 machines.

View DetailsMonty Cain built and sold a demolition company here before this one. The company is new; the experience running it is not. About 20 people keep 17-18 house demos moving at once.
A Bobcat E88 fits through a backyard gate. A Kobelco 350 brings down a commercial building. Dozers, wheel loaders and skid steers fill the gaps, so the machine matches the lot.
Three roll-off trucks and about 75 dumpsters belong to the company. Debris leaves on our schedule, and the quote covers the finished state: teardown, loading, hauling, cleanup.
Burleson is home. Fort Worth, Arlington, Crowley, Mansfield and Cleburne are short drives on known ground. The clay moves around here, and the dirt work is planned for it.
