Flexible Scale for Any Project Size
We run the equipment and crew your project needs, not a fixed crew that gets stretched across too many jobs.
DFW Is the Northern Reach of Stone River's Corridor
Dallas–Fort Worth sits at the upper boundary of the region Stone River serves. We are Houston-based and our core market runs from the Gulf Coast through Central Texas. We extend to DFW for large commercial and industrial scopes where our owned equipment capacity, crew depth, and civil earthwork track record justify the mobilization distance.
We are not positioning as a DFW-based firm. For the right project type and scope size, we bring the same execution standards we hold in our home market to the Metroplex.
What We Do
Commercial Excavation and Earthwork Services Across Dallas–Fort Worth, TX
Earthwork
Bulk earthmoving, grading, and soil management for complex commercial and industrial sites.
Detention Pond
Detention and retention basin construction built to HCFCD and local drainage authority standards.
Underground Utilities
Trench excavation and coordination for storm drain, water, sewer, and wet utility installation on commercial sites.

Pad Site Development
Turnkey pad site preparation for commercial and industrial builds. We take raw land to a finished, construction-ready surface.
What DFW Earthwork Requires
The Dallas side of the Metroplex sits on the eastern Blackland Prairie, a heavy concentration of high-plasticity expansive clay that is geologically distinct from Houston clay but behaviorally familiar to our crews. We know how to sequence work fronts around moisture windows and manage compaction on Blackland soils.
Site conditions on the Fort Worth side of the Metroplex become more variable. Stone River scopes DFW projects individually based on the geotechnical report and coordinates with the civil engineer on any site-specific conditions before submitting a number. We focus on the clay-dominant eastern Metroplex where our earthwork experience is most directly applicable.
