Four Commitments.
Written into every scope of work, every scan and every invoice.
Precision
We don't guess. We measure and record. Where you add the optional drone scan, every cubic yard billed is a cubic yard documented before and after. Disputes get settled with the record instead of memory.
Transparency
Active projects get dated photo updates. You see what we see, so the invoice matches the work.
Hauling
Nothing leaves the site that doesn't have to. Brush and cedar are mulched in place, so there is no burning and no vegetation to haul. Where rock allows, it is milled on site into aggregate, base and drainage fill. Clearing and grubbing, demolition and pool removal still haul debris off, and the quote says so.
SITE WORK
Not every job should shake the neighborhood. We do structural demolition that protects adjacent foundations, excavation cut to grade, and land clearing that removes what needs to go and keeps what doesn’t. Protected trees stay standing.
The Right Iron.
The Right Tech.
Purpose-built for Hill Country geology and tight urban lots. Every machine earns its spot on the trailer. Dozers, larger excavators and compaction equipment are rented locally when a job needs them.
Austin and
Central Texas.
Same documentation on every job, adapted to the geology and city rules where the site sits.
Limestone geology, the City’s protected-tree rules, heavy infill growth and a pool market that runs year-round. Clear Ground formed in Austin in March 2026.
We work within about 100 miles of Austin and take larger jobs beyond that case by case.
