East Texas
Excavation & Dirtwork in Hunt County
Hunt County is mostly farms, ranches, and rural acreage with Greenville and Commerce as the population centers. We do a lot of land clearing here, fence-line opening, food-plot prep, fire lanes, and full pasture clears, alongside the drainage and pond work that comes with working clay-heavy acreage. Lakefront work picks up around Lake Tawakoni in the southeast corner.
Soil across the county
Mostly Houston Black and Bell clay with Wilson clay-loam toward the Sabine River drainage. It holds water in wet years and turns to brick in dry ones, so clearing gets timed and graded to shed water, and drainage swales have to be cut to hold their grade through the clay's wet-dry cycle.
Permits & jurisdictions
Unincorporated Hunt County is minimal-permit on residential land clearing under your own ownership, one of the more flexible counties we work. Greenville and Commerce city limits add stormwater requirements on disturbed acreage above the usual threshold.
What dirtwork in Hunt looks like
The work the county's ground keeps generating
Land clearing leads, cedar comes out fast, post oak takes longer, with pasture drainage, stock ponds, and ranch access close behind. Rural scale means the work runs in longer linear feet of swale, road, and fence line than the tighter counties to the west.

Hunt County dirtwork FAQ
Questions we get from Hunt County customers
- Q01What dirt work services do you offer in Hunt County?
- Land clearing leads out here, fence lines, food plots, fire lanes, and full pasture clears, alongside drainage, stock pond construction, ranch driveways, and excavation. Farm and ranch scale is what the county calls for and what we bring.
- Q02Which towns do you serve in Hunt County?
- Greenville, Commerce, Quinlan, Caddo Mills, and the ranch acreage between them, plus the Lake Tawakoni country in the southeast corner. Long drives out to rural tracts are normal here, not a surcharge surprise.
- Q03How much does land clearing cost in Hunt County?
- Per-acre by density and finish: cedar mulches fast and prices low, established post oak takes longer, and grubbing for a building site costs more than mulching for pasture. We walk the tract and quote a firm number for the finish you want. Free estimate.
- Q04Do I need a permit to clear land in Hunt County?
- On your own unincorporated-county land, generally no, Hunt is one of the more flexible counties we work. Greenville and Commerce city limits add stormwater requirements on bigger disturbed areas. We confirm before equipment rolls, and every dig starts with an 811 locate.
- Q05Can you clear fence lines without taking out the fence?
- Yes, fence-line clearing is precision work with the mulching head: brush and trees come out of the line while the wire stays standing. Where a fence is already gone into the brush, we can clear the line for a rebuild, that's often the cheaper sequence.
- Q06Will a stock pond hold water in Hunt County soil?
- Most of the county sits on Houston Black and Bell clay, which is good news for ponds: dug and compacted right, the basin seals itself. The Sabine drainage side gets loamier, where we test before shaping. Sized to the watershed and built with a proper spillway, ponds here hold.
- Q07What does pasture drainage look like on Hunt County clay?
- Long graded swales that carry water across ground that won't absorb it, cut to hold their grade through the clay's wet-dry cycle. It's linear work, more feet of swale than a subdivision lot would ever see, and it's what keeps pasture usable in a wet spring.
- Q08How soon can you get to a Hunt County job?
- Site walk within a few days, then honest scheduling around the weather, clay ground needs dry windows for clean work. Bigger clears get staged so the tract stays usable while we work through it.
