Why Gun Barrel City projects are different.
Gun Barrel City is the east shore of Cedar Creek Lake. Gun Barrel City lakefront lots run sandy near the water and clay-heavy up the slope — drainage and retaining walls have to account for both in the same yard.
We roll trucks from Mabank into Gun Barrel City multiple times a week — cedar creek lake 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.
