Site preparation
Dirt Work and Site Prep for Collin County Builders and Landowners
Most of the ground north of Dallas is black clay. It swells when it rains, shrinks when it dries, and it will move a foundation, a driveway or a septic field that was not built on properly prepared dirt. That is why site prep matters more here than in most of the country, and it is the work Steele Construction does every week.
As a site prep contractor we work in order: clearing, the pad, the septic system, the driveway, then drainage and final grade.
What we do
Excavation, Septic and Land Services
Every service below is done by the same crew, start to finish. Click through for the full scope, the towns we cover for that work and the questions people ask before they book it.
Septic Systems
Aerobic, conventional, low pressure dosage and drip systems installed complete, plus pump maintenance, annual inspections and trash pump outs. Septic tank installations carry a one year warranty.
See septic systems work
House Pad Construction
Pads cut to the elevations on your plan sheets, built up in lifts and compacted so the foundation crew walks onto finished dirt. Our most requested service alongside septic.
See house pad construction work
Land Clearing and Forestry Mulching
Trees and brush removed to open a build site, fence line or pasture, or mulched in place so the ground stays covered and nothing gets hauled or burned.
See land clearing and forestry mulching work
Driveways and Rock Roads
Long rural drives and ranch roads cut, graded and built up so they drain and hold. Chip seal, asphalt millings and gravel surfaces, plus grading and repair on roads that have washed out.
See driveways and rock roads work
Excavation
Ponds, storm shelter and pool excavation, pool fill-ins, ditches and culverts. We dig to your installer's layout, place the spoil where it belongs and backfill when they are ready.
See excavation work
Grading and Dirt Work
Lot grading, drainage grading, horse arena footing and foundation grading. Dozer, skid steer and roller work that leaves the surface you planned for, not the one you started with.
See grading and dirt work
Brush Hog Mowing
Field mowing, acreage mowing and brush hogging for pasture, vacant lots and easements. One time cuts or a repeat schedule.
See brush hog mowing work
Drainage
Regrading, ditches and culverts that move water away from the house, the pad and the drive instead of letting it stand in the clay.

Why Hire an Excavation Company That Runs the Whole Job
One contractor for the clearing, the pad, the septic and the drive means one schedule and one point of contact. There is no gap between the clearing crew leaving and the pad crew showing up, because it is the same excavation company on every step of your job.
One crew, first cut to final grade
The people who walk the site with you are the people who run the job. Dozer, excavator, skid steer and roller work all fall under the same scope and the same contract.
Two jobs we do more than anything else
House pad construction and septic tank installation are our two most requested services. Both depend on the dirt underneath being right, and both are done by the same people who cut the pad.
Insured, free estimates, one day response
Steele Construction LLC is insured. Estimates are free and follow a site visit, not a guess over the phone. We respond within a day and take emergency and same day work when the schedule allows.
Written scope before the first cut
Scope, price and terms go in a signed contract before any equipment moves. Septic tank installations carry a one year warranty. That warranty applies to septic tank installations only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Excavation Services
What does an excavation contractor near McKinney actually handle?
House pads, septic system installation, land clearing and forestry mulching, driveways, ponds, pool and storm shelter excavation, pool fill-ins, ditches, culverts, grading and drainage, and brush hog mowing. If it involves moving dirt on a property in Collin County or the surrounding counties, it is on our list.
How far from McKinney do you travel?
About 60 miles in any direction, plus Fort Worth. That takes in Sherman and Denison to the north, Denton to the west and Dallas to the south. Call with the address and we will tell you if it is inside the circle.
Can one contractor handle the clearing, the pad and the septic system?
Yes. We run the whole sequence under one contract, so the schedule does not fall apart between trades. Clearing, pad, septic, driveway and drainage can all be one contract.
Do you pour concrete?
No. We do the dirt side: site prep, foundation excavation, grade beam trenching and sidewalk subgrade. The pad is compacted and ready when the concrete crew arrives.
How fast can you come out?
Typical response time is one day. Emergency and same day work is available when the schedule allows, so call rather than email if the job cannot wait.
Are estimates free, and are you insured?
Yes to both. Estimates are free and follow a site visit. Steele Construction LLC is insured.
