Our team brings over 50 years of combined leadership experience.
We handle horizontal work from start to finish, underground utilities, excavation, road construction, concrete, so builders
can focus on vertical construction. Our crews are licensed, bonded, and insured with the capacity municipalities and commercial projects require.
Site preparation requires coordinating excavation, utilities, base work, and drainage. We handle the complete scope eliminating delays caused by separate contractors who can’t coordinate schedules or blame each other when problems arise.
We provide lime stabilization, cement treatment, hydrovac services, and dry utility installation in-house. Most site preparation contractors subcontract these services or don’t provide them at all.
Underground Utilities = 75% of Our Work: While most site preparation contractors focus on dirt work and subcontract utilities, underground utility installation is our core expertise—not an afterthought. This ensures proper coordination from day one.
Bonding & Insurance for Larger Projects: We have bonding capacity and insurance coverage for municipal contracts and commercial developments requiring comprehensive liability protection and performance guarantees.
Fully Insured, Fully Bonded.
Land Developers
Multi-lot subdivision preparation requiring mass grading, complete utility infrastructure, street base work, and detention systems for residential communities.
Commercial Property Developers
Site preparation for retail centers, office buildings, industrial facilities, and mixed-use developments requiring turnkey coordination and fast timelines.
General Contractors
Subcontract site preparation for projects where GCs need reliable earthwork, utility installation, and base preparation before building construction begins.
Municipalities & Public Entities
Site preparation for municipal facilities, parks, infrastructure projects, and public works requiring bonding, prevailing wage compliance, and municipal coordination.
For larger developments and municipal projects, our crews serve clients statewide across Texas.

What does "turnkey site preparation" mean?
Complete project delivery from one contractor: land clearing, mass grading, underground utility installation, base stabilization, final grading, erosion control, and coordination through final inspection. You make one phone call instead of managing separate excavation, utility, and grading contractors.
How do I choose between site preparation contractors?
Verify they handle complete scope in-house (not subcontracting utilities or specialized work), confirm bonding/insurance for your project type, check experience with similar project scale, and evaluate their utility installation expertise since poor utility coordination causes most site preparation delays.
How long does site preparation take?
Timeline varies by project size and complexity. A 1-acre commercial site typically requires 2-3 weeks for complete preparation. A 50-lot subdivision phase takes 8-12 weeks for mass grading and utility infrastructure. We provide detailed schedules coordinating with your construction timeline during planning.
What affects site preparation costs?
Site size and topography, extent of clearing required, quantity of cut/fill and haul distances, underground utility scope and depth, soil conditions requiring stabilization, stormwater management requirements, and local permit/inspection fees. We provide transparent estimates breaking down each component.
Can you handle municipal site preparation projects?
Yes. Kitching & Co has bonding and insurance capacity for municipal contracts, experience with prevailing wage requirements, and established relationships coordinating with municipalities throughout North Texas on public infrastructure and facility projects.
