Site prep & building pads, a real Skid Pro job
Aransas County / 42 miles out
Site prep near the water.
At about 6.6 feet of elevation, a Rockport lot usually needs fill before it's ready to build on. Rebuilding after storms has made pads and fill a big part of the work on this peninsula, and your floodplain requirements set how high it goes.
Near the coast, getting up out of the water is the point. A caliche pad raises the building, gives it a solid base on sandy ground, and sheds water away. Before you build, check your lot's floodplain requirements, and we'll build the pad to the height you need.
