Why Tyler projects are different.
Tyler is the Rose Capital and Smith County seat. Tyler sits on East Texas sandy loam with iron-rich red clay underneath — great for landscape planting, tricky for drainage without a real outfall.
We roll trucks from Mabank into Tyler 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.
- Home, shop & barndominium pads
- Driveway construction & repair
- Lot leveling — rough & finish grade
- Land clearing & brush removal
- Culvert install & driveway approaches
- Road base & gravel delivery
- Erosion control & silt fence

Grading materials we install on every Tyler, TX job.
Every Tyler, TX grading job starts with the right base under the dirt. Because Smith 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 Tyler pad and driveway — meets state DOT spec and compacts to a stable, drainable surface.
- Crushed limestone base rock
Sourced from quarries near Tyler 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 Tyler slab or building pad.
- Screened topsoil
Screened clean for Tyler 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 Tyler lot, not a guess.
- Non-woven geotextile fabric
Real Mirafi 140N under every fill lift — separates Tyler clay from imported base so the two don't mix and pump.
Sourced from suppliers serving Tyler and Smith County so material delivery never bottlenecks your project.
