Stone River Excavation brings Gulf Coast commercial earthwork experience to large-scale projects in the Austin metro and surrounding Central Texas counties.
Trusted by 20+ companies nationwide
We have been doing this work in Houston since 2015. No gaps, no rebrands, no ownership changes.
We use modern GPS-guided equipment through our partnership with Lone Star Layouts for precision grading that holds spec.
Commercial liability, workers compensation, and equipment coverage. All documentation available on request.
We run the equipment and crew your project needs, not a fixed crew that gets stretched across too many jobs.
Austin's development pace has outrun the local supply of qualified civil contractors with owned equipment, experienced crews, and a track record on large commercial scopes. Stone River operates out of Houston with a fleet and crew capacity that can support multi-month engagements in the Austin metro for projects that meet our scope threshold.
We are not positioning as an Austin-based firm. We are a Houston contractor with the scale and experience to serve Central Texas clients who need a contractor that can execute, not just bid.
Mass excavation, cut-and-fill, and bulk earthwork for commercial and industrial sites throughout the Houston metro.
Bulk earthmoving, grading, and soil management for complex commercial and industrial sites.
Detention and retention basin construction built to HCFCD and local drainage authority standards.
Trench excavation and coordination for storm drain, water, sewer, and wet utility installation on commercial sites.
Heavy commercial land clearing for undeveloped sites. Brush, timber, stumps, and debris removed and disposed of properly.
Turnkey pad site preparation for commercial and industrial builds. We take raw land to a finished, construction-ready surface.
The eastern Austin metro and urban core tend toward expansive black clay, similar in behavior to what Stone River works daily in Houston. That is the site condition we are most familiar with and where our crew sequencing and compaction experience applies directly.
Sites further north and west in the metro can involve shallower subsurface conditions. We review the geotechnical report on every Austin-area project before bidding and are transparent about any scope items that require local subcontractor coordination before submitting a number.
Every project in our portfolio was completed on time and to grade. Browse a sample of our recent commercial and industrial work below.
Pad Site Development
Full-scope site preparation for a 14-acre industrial facility in west Houston. Scope included mass excavation, cut-and-fill earthwork, GPS-controlled finish grading, and stormwater detention integration. Delivered on schedule for general contractor handoff.
Commercial Land Clearing
Heavy land clearing across 22 acres of mixed brush, timber, and stumps for a multi-tenant commercial park. Site cleared, debris removed, and rough grade established for GC mobilization.
Detention Pond
Design-to-finish excavation and shaping of a 2.4-acre stormwater detention pond for a commercial development in Fort Bend County. Engineered slopes, inlet/outlet coordination, and finish grading to civil drawings.
Site Preparation and Grading
Site preparation and precision grading for a 6-acre medical office campus. Scope included topsoil stripping, subgrade preparation, and GPS-verified finish grading to within design tolerance.

No. Stone River is Houston-based. For qualifying commercial scopes in Austin, we mobilize from Houston with our own equipment and crew. Mobilization is factored into pricing at bid time and documented transparently in the proposal.
