Land Clearing, Site Work and More

Land clearing, driveways, demo, and heavy equipment work across Central Texas.

About the Service

We are Dusty Rhodes Septic and More for a reason. Beyond septic, we handle land clearing, tree trimming and removal, driveway installation, general demo and haul off, and tractor, skid steer, and excavator work. If it needs digging, clearing, or hauling in Central Texas, we have the equipment and the experience to get it done. A lot of our site work starts as a septic job and turns into clearing a building pad, cutting in an access road, or hauling off what the last owner left behind. Same crew, same equipment, same straight pricing, and one contractor to deal with instead of three.

The And More Part of the Name

Septic is what we are known for, but the equipment that sets a tank also clears a lot, cuts a driveway, and hauls off a fallen barn. Plenty of our site work starts as a septic call and grows from there, and it is usually cheaper and simpler for the customer to have one crew handle all of it.

Land Clearing

Building Pads and Open Ground

Clearing brush, cedar, and undergrowth to open up a building site, a pasture, or a view. We clear what needs to go and leave what you want kept, which is a conversation worth having before the machines start rather than after.

Tree Trimming and Removal

Dead trees, storm damage, limbs over a roof line, or a stand of cedar that has taken over. We remove them and haul off the debris rather than leaving you with a pile to deal with.

Driveway Installation

Cut, Base, and Surface

A driveway that holds up in Central Texas needs proper grade, a compacted base, and drainage that moves water off it. Skipping the base is how you end up regrading gravel every spring.

Culverts and Drainage

Where a drive crosses a low spot or a ditch line, a properly sized culvert set at the right elevation keeps the road from washing out. We size it for the water that actually runs there.

Demolition and Haul Off

Old sheds, barns, mobile homes, fence lines, concrete, and the accumulated scrap that comes with a rural property. We break it down, load it out, and dispose of it properly. When we leave, the ground is graded and the site is usable again.

If it needs digging, clearing, or hauling in Central Texas, we most likely have the machine for it sitting in the yard.

Equipment and Operators

  • Excavator work for trenching, digging, and grading
  • Skid steer with grapple, bucket, and brush attachments
  • Tractor work for pasture, drives, and general dirt moving
  • Dump trailers for haul off and material delivery

The machines matter less than the people running them. Our crew has been moving Central Texas dirt for a long time and knows the difference between a job that looks finished and a job that is finished.

Site Work That Pairs With Septic

If you are putting in a new system, this is the right moment to handle the rest of it. Clearing the area, cutting an access route for equipment, correcting drainage that has been pooling near the house, and grading the finished site all go faster when one crew is already on the property with the equipment there.
