Excavator Work
Land problems,
meet land solutions
Montgomery County growth leaves properties overgrown with invasive brush. Clay soil causes shallow roots that topple in storms. We clear for construction, restore pastures, remove hurricane debris, and open acreage. Excavators dig through clay for drainage, extract stumps in rocky soil, trench utilities safely, and shape ponds meeting county detention requirements.

Excavation Contractor Reviews Tomball, TX
21 years of keeping our word
Here’s what Tomball and Montgomery County businesses and homeowners say about our work. We’re proud of the trust we’ve built from Magnolia to Spring to The Woodlands, and neighborhoods throughout the area.
We called Keven, and he spelled out our options and put together a plan we could live with. Fast and professional.
Tomball
The estimate was easy to get, the crew showed up on time and they did exactly what they said they would.
Magnolia
We called for 3 bids, but we gave Keven the business because he wasn’t anything like the other contractors and spoke plainly.
The Woodlands
Our underbrush was a real problem. Keven put together an affordable plan and did the work fast. Would recommend.
Spring
We should have called Keven first. Our first contractor left us holding the bag halfway through the job. Thanks for fixing everything.
Cypress
They took care of all the demolition we had, provided the dumpsters and did what they said they would. Highly recommend.
Conroe
We didn’t want to bring in a separate concrete contractor, so we tried Keven because he was already doing something else. He knows his stuff.
Hockley
Easy to get an estimate for our property. Fair pricing and great crew. Would recommend to anyone in the area. Keven is great.
Pinehurst
We had a drainage problem for years, and Keven fixed it in half a day. We were so happy that we fed him and the crew lunch. They’re the real deal.
Montgomery
We had some land that needed grading, and Keven took care of it. The work was good and we had him take care of some underbrush, too.

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation in Tomball TX
You ask. We answer.
We’re always happy to answer your questions.
If you don’t see what you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to contact us.
What does an excavation contractor do?
An excavation contractor handles land clearing, grading, site preparation, demolition, and drainage work. We prepare properties for new construction, fix drainage problems, clear overgrown lots, and demolish old structures. Basically, if it involves moving dirt or removing something from your property, we handle it.
How much does excavation work cost in Tomball?
Excavation costs vary based on project size and scope. Land clearing typically runs $1,500-$5,000 per acre depending on vegetation density. House pad construction costs $3,000-$8,000. Drainage work starts around $2,000. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what your project will cost before we start.
Do you serve commercial properties or just residential?
We serve both. For residential customers, we clear lots, grade yards, install French drains, and prepare sites for new homes. For commercial clients, we handle larger site prep, parking lot grading, retention pond construction, and building demolition. Same quality work, just different scale.
How long does a typical excavation project take?
Most residential projects take 1-3 days. A simple lot clearing might finish in one day, while full site preparation with grading and drainage could take a week. Commercial projects vary widely – we’ll give you a timeline with your estimate.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured with general liability and workers’ compensation coverage. Texas doesn’t require state licensing for excavation work, but we’ve been doing this for 21 years since 2005. Our experience and equipment speak for themselves.
Do you own your equipment or rent it?
We own our dozer, excavator, and skid steer. That means no rental delays waiting for equipment to show up, and our machines are maintained to our standards. When we schedule your job, we’re ready to start.
What areas do you serve besides Tomball?
We serve Tomball, Magnolia, The Woodlands, Spring, Cypress, Conroe, Hockley, Pinehurst, Montgomery, Willis, and Waller. Basically, if you’re within 30 miles of Tomball, we can help. Call us to confirm we serve your area.
Can you work around existing trees I want to keep?
Absolutely. Selective clearing is common, especially in neighborhoods like Creekside Park and Gleannloch Farms where homeowners want to preserve mature trees. We’ll work carefully around trees you mark for preservation.
How quickly can you provide an estimate?
We typically provide estimates the next business day. Keven comes out to look at your property, assesses what’s needed, and gives you a detailed quote. No waiting weeks for a callback.
What happens if it rains during my project?
Houston-area clay soil gets muddy fast, so we pause work during heavy rain to avoid damaging your property with equipment ruts. Once the ground firms up (usually 24-48 hours), we resume. We build weather delays into our timeline estimates.
Did you know?
Modern excavators can dig trenches with precision down to 1/4 inch accuracy using GPS and laser-guided technology, but experienced operators like Keven still rely on their eye and feel for the best results.
