Stone River Excavation serves commercial and industrial civil earthwork projects across Galveston County and the upper Gulf Coast, from the Island to the bay communities along the Houston–Galveston corridor.
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.
Galveston County sits within Stone River's primary service area. We are not a reach-market contractor for this region. Our equipment is staged in Houston and Galveston County is a regular part of our project geography, including the Island, Texas City, League City, Friendswood, and the communities along the I-45 corridor.
Commercial development along the Gulf Coast requires contractors who understand coastal soil conditions, tidal influence on groundwater, and the stormwater management requirements specific to Galveston County and the Texas General Land Office jurisdiction in coastal areas. Stone River brings that familiarity to every project in this market.
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.
Galveston County earthwork is defined by two conditions that do not appear together anywhere else in the Stone River service area: coastal proximity and near-surface water table. Much of the county sits at or near sea level, which means detention design, drainage outfall elevation, and trench dewatering all require more attention than comparable inland scopes.
Soils in the area range from fine beach sand near the Island to soft silty clay and marsh fill further inland. Compaction on fine-grained coastal soils requires careful moisture management and lift control. Projects near the bay or Gulf shoreline may also carry Texas General Land Office jurisdiction and additional coastal construction permit requirements.
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.

Yes. Stone River works on Galveston Island for qualifying commercial scopes. Island projects carry additional permit considerations including City of Galveston requirements, GLO coastal construction rules, and FEMA flood zone compliance. We coordinate with the civil engineer on all applicable regulatory requirements before mobilization.
