Why Canton projects are different.
Canton is First Monday Trade Days on I-20. Canton and Van Zandt County soils lean sandy loam over clay — good drainage naturally, but pads and driveways still need proper compaction to last.
We roll trucks from Mabank into Canton multiple times a week — east texas is our backyard. One local crew, one point of contact, and the same equipment we use on every job from a homeowner french drain to a full barndominium build.
Full grading scope.

- Lot leveling — rough & finish grade
- Land clearing & brush removal

Grading materials we install on every Canton, TX job.
Every Canton, TX grading job starts with the right base under the dirt. Because Van Zandt County soils swing between sandy loam and expansive clay, the difference between a pad that lasts and one that cracks is spec'd here — not at the truck.

Our standard cap on every Canton pad and driveway — meets state DOT spec and compacts to a stable, drainable surface.
- Crushed limestone base rock
Sourced from quarries near Canton so haul cost stays low and delivery windows stay tight.

Placed in 6" lifts and proctor-compacted — the only fill we'll put under a Canton slab or building pad.
- Screened topsoil
Screened clean for Canton yard regrades, landscape beds and post-grading turf establishment.
- 18", 24", 36" culvert pipe
HDPE with concrete flared end sections — sized to actual watershed on your Canton lot, not a guess.
- Non-woven geotextile fabric
Real Mirafi 140N under every fill lift — separates Canton clay from imported base so the two don't mix and pump.
