Site prep & building pads, a real Skid Pro job
Jim Wells County / 24 miles out
Site prep on farm ground.
Alice has long been oil and ranch country, so pads here aren't just for houses: shops, equipment yards and metal buildings need them too. With flat ground, getting the pad up and the water moving away is what matters.
Clay moves when it gets wet and when it dries, so what's under a building matters. On farm ground we strip it, bring in caliche and compact it in lifts, and often build the driveway at the same time so the trucks can get in.

Why not just pour on the dirt that's there?
Clay swells and shrinks, which is hard on slabs. A compacted caliche pad gives the building a stable base and keeps it up out of the water.
