Stone River Excavation is a Houston-based civil contractor serving the greater metro with commercial excavation, site grading, land clearing, detention pond construction, utility trenching, and pad site development.
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.
Stone River was founded and built in Houston. Every piece of equipment we own is staged here. Every crew member we deploy is familiar with Harris County permit requirements, HCFCD stormwater standards, and the clay soil conditions that make grading work in this market more demanding than most of Texas.
We work across the full Houston metro: Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, Galveston, Liberty, Chambers, and Waller counties. If the development activity is here, we are available for it.
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 Houston market has two site conditions every contractor has to account for: high-plasticity expansive clay and a flat topography that concentrates stormwater runoff without natural drainage relief. Both affect how earthwork is scheduled, how detention systems are designed, and how compaction is achieved and verified.
Stone River has worked Houston clay for over a decade. We sequence work fronts around soil moisture windows, moisture-condition before compaction on sensitive subgrades, and coordinate directly with civil engineers on detention grades that have to pass HCFCD inspection on the first submission.
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. We are active in Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, Galveston, Liberty, Chambers, and Waller counties on a regular basis. Projects further afield are evaluated case by case based on scope size and mobilization distance.
Send us the site address and scope basics. We will review the civil drawings and follow up within two business days.
