Why Kaufman projects are different.
Kaufman is the Kaufman County seat on Highway 175. Kaufman County is dominated by black Blackland Prairie clay — one of the most expansive soils in Texas. Grading, drainage and slabs all have to be designed around soil movement.
We roll trucks from Mabank into Kaufman multiple times a week — dfw metro 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.

- Driveway construction & repair
- Lot leveling — rough & finish grade
- Land clearing & brush removal
- Culvert install & driveway approaches

Grading materials we install on every Kaufman, TX job.
Every Kaufman, TX grading job starts with the right base under the dirt. Because Kaufman 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.
- TxDOT Item 247 flex base
Our standard cap on every Kaufman pad and driveway — meets state DOT spec and compacts to a stable, drainable surface.
- Crushed limestone base rock
Sourced from quarries near Kaufman so haul cost stays low and delivery windows stay tight.
- Select fill dirt
Placed in 6" lifts and proctor-compacted — the only fill we'll put under a Kaufman slab or building pad.
- Screened topsoil
Screened clean for Kaufman 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 Kaufman lot, not a guess.
- Non-woven geotextile fabric
Real Mirafi 140N under every fill lift — separates Kaufman clay from imported base so the two don't mix and pump.
Sourced from suppliers serving Kaufman and Kaufman County so material delivery never bottlenecks your project.
