FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about site preparation & earthwork in Greenville, TX.

What soil testing is required for site preparation in Greenville, TX?

Site preparation in Greenville, Texas requires comprehensive soil testing including moisture content, density, bearing capacity, and clay content analysis. Hunt County's Eagle Ford clay requires special testing for expansive soil behavior. We conduct geotechnical investigations with boreholes and lab testing. Soil reports determine foundation requirements and base preparation methods. Testing costs $1,500-3,000 but prevents costly future problems.

How deep should excavation be for commercial site preparation in Greenville, TX?

Excavation depth in Greenville, Texas varies by project with building foundations requiring 4-12 feet below grade depending on soil conditions. Parking lots need 12-18 inches of base material. Hunt County's clay soils often require over-excavation and soil stabilization. We calculate depths based on engineering requirements and local codes. Proper excavation prevents settlement and ensures structural stability.

What base materials are used for site preparation in Greenville, TX?

Site preparation in Greenville, Texas uses crushed stone, gravel, and select fill materials for base courses. Parking lots require 6-12 inches of #57 stone with proper compaction. Building pads use engineered fill with specific gradation. Clay soil conditions require imported materials to prevent expansion issues. We source materials meeting TxDOT specifications for durability and performance.

How is proper compaction achieved in Greenville, TX clay soils?

Compaction in Greenville, Texas clay soils requires specialized equipment and moisture control. We use sheep's foot rollers for initial compaction, smooth drum rollers for finishing. Moisture content must be optimal (near Proctor density). Hunt County clay requires multiple passes and testing. We conduct nuclear density testing to verify compaction meets 95% of maximum density. Poor compaction causes settlement and concrete cracking.

What permits are needed for site preparation in Greenville, TX?

Site preparation in Greenville, Texas requires grading permits from the City of Greenville for projects over certain sizes. Erosion control permits needed for disturbed areas over 1 acre. TCEQ stormwater permits for drainage. Utility locates prevent underground damage. We handle all permitting applications. Projects in flood zones need additional FEMA approval. Proper permitting prevents fines and ensures compliance.

How long does site preparation take in Greenville, TX?

Site preparation in Greenville, Texas takes 1-4 weeks depending on scope and weather. Simple grading completes in 1 week, complex sites with utilities require 2-4 weeks. Clay soil conditions extend drying times. Weather delays affect scheduling. We work efficiently during optimal conditions. Phased preparation allows concurrent concrete work. Timeline depends on soil conditions and project complexity.

What erosion control measures are required in Greenville, TX?

Erosion control in Greenville, Texas requires silt fences, sediment basins, and stabilized construction entrances for projects disturbing over 1 acre. Hunt County clay soils erode easily when exposed. We install temporary measures during construction, permanent drainage after completion. TCEQ requires erosion control plans. Vegetation establishment prevents long-term erosion. Proper control prevents sedimentation of waterways.

How much does site preparation cost in Greenville, TX?

Site preparation costs in Greenville, Texas range from $3-12 per square yard depending on complexity. Simple grading costs $3-5/yd², complex sites with utilities reach $8-12/yd². Clay soil conditions increase costs for stabilization. Soil testing adds $2,000-5,000. Import of base materials affects pricing. We provide detailed estimates based on site conditions and project requirements.

Can site preparation be done in wet weather in Greenville, TX?

Site preparation in Greenville, Texas can be done in wet weather with proper equipment and techniques, though optimal conditions are dry. We use all-weather equipment for wet conditions. Clay soils become unworkable when wet. Moisture control prevents soil damage. Some phases can continue during light rain. We monitor weather forecasts and schedule accordingly. Wet weather can extend project timelines.

What documentation is provided after site preparation in Greenville, TX?

Site preparation documentation in Greenville, Texas includes compaction test reports, soil density certifications, and as-built drawings. We provide geotechnical reports and utility locate documentation. Photos document work progress. Final inspections verify compliance. Documentation required for concrete pours and building permits.
