Expert Site Preparation in Southlake, TX

Site preparation is the first physical step of any construction project in Southlake. Before a foundation goes in, the land must be cleared, graded, excavated, and compacted to meet structural requirements. At Eco Construction Group, we handle each phase: vegetation and debris removal, rough and fine grading, foundation excavation, utility trench prep, and drainage shaping. Southlake sits in Tarrant County, where expansive clay soils are common across North Texas. Clay-rich ground can swell when wet and shrink when dry, which puts stress on slabs and foundations if the site is not properly evaluated and prepared. We account for these soil conditions from the start, so your foundation crew steps onto a stable, build-ready pad. The City of Southlake also requires a Tree Protection Permit before site preparation work begins on residential projects. We coordinate that process as part of our pre-construction planning. If your project is a new home, an addition, or a commercial build, call Eco Construction Group to schedule your site assessment.

Grant and the team did a great job on our kitchen remodel. He offered some advice and ideas that I was not even considering. You can trust they will not cut corners and do things the right way through the project. We’ve used him for other projects since then because of our positive experience. Recommend!

I cannot say enough great things about Eco Construction Group. From start to finish, they exceeded our expectations on every aspect of our home renovation project. They completed a full interior remodel, including our bathrooms, kitchen, home addition, and backyard patio renovation, and the quality of work was outstanding throughout. Their pricing was fair and competitive, communication was excellent, and the craftsmanship truly speaks for itself. The entire team was professional, reliable, and dedicated to making sure every detail was completed to the highest standard. A special thank you to Grant, the owner, who was incredible to work with. He took the time to listen closely to our vision, offered valuable insight, and brought our ideas to life even better than we imagined. His professionalism, honesty, and commitment to customer satisfaction made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a contractor who delivers exceptional quality, fair pricing, and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend Eco Construction Group. I would confidently recommend them to any friends or family members and would not hesitate to use them again for future projects. Thank you, Grant and the Eco Construction team, for transforming our home!!!

We have used Eco Construction/ Grant for several remodeling projects, our kitchen remodel was completed on time and done perfectly. Any questions or concerns were addressed immediately. Great recommendations on cabinet redesign and product selections. After completing the kitchen we opted to also go ahead with redoing our master bath. Very pleased with the outcome! We had other bids… went with Eco which was a little higher. Well worth it!
