Land Clearing, Site Prep & Dirt Work — Done Right and Hauled Off
Land management, excavation, and dirt work across Tyler and East Texas — including Whitehouse, Lindale, Flint, and Longview. Clearing, site prep, grading, pad building, and pond work. Veteran Pro runs our own crew and our own equipment, so your project isn’t waiting on a subcontractor’s calendar. And because we’re also a dumpster company, debris haul-off is built into the job.
What does excavation cost in Tyler, TX? Dirt work pricing depends on acreage, terrain and slope, how heavy the tree and brush cover is, soil conditions, and how much material has to be hauled off. A small pad or a single-lot clearing sits at the low end; multi-acre clearing and grading costs more because of machine hours and haul-off volume. Veteran Pro quotes flat-rate upfront — call or text (903) 833-3867 for a real number on your site.
How does the process work? It starts with a free on-site walk of the property. We confirm scope, access, and where the material is going, then schedule the work. Our crew clears, digs, grades, and hauls — and we leave you a clean, build-ready site instead of a pile to deal with.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does excavation cost in Tyler, TX?
Excavation and dirt work pricing in Tyler TX depends on acreage, terrain and slope, how heavy the tree and brush cover is, soil conditions, and how much material has to be hauled off. A single building pad or small lot clearing sits at the low end, while multi-acre clearing and grading costs more due to machine hours and haul-off volume. Veteran Pro provides flat-rate quotes upfront after a free site walk.
Do I need a permit for land clearing or grading in Tyler TX?
Sometimes. Some land clearing and grading work requires permits depending on the scope of the project and its environmental impact. Permits are the property owner's responsibility, and requirements vary by city and county. We'll point out anything worth asking about during the free site walk, so you can sort it out before the equipment shows up.
What areas do you serve for excavation and dirt work?
Veteran Pro handles excavation, land clearing, and site prep in Tyler and throughout East Texas, including Whitehouse, Lindale, Flint, Longview, Bullard, Arp, Troup, Jacksonville, Chandler, Kilgore, Henderson, and Mineola.
Do you haul off the dirt and debris, or do I have to arrange that?
We haul it off. Veteran Pro is also a dumpster company, so debris removal and dirt hauling are built into the job rather than quoted by a separate contractor. We can set a dumpster on site for the duration of the project and remove the material when the work is done.
Do you own your excavation equipment or subcontract the work?
We own our equipment and run our own crew. That means your project is scheduled around your timeline instead of a subcontractor's availability, and one company is accountable for the work from the first cut to the final cleanup.
Can you clear land and remove an old slab or foundation on the same job?
Yes. Clearing, concrete slab and foundation removal, grading, and haul-off can all be handled in a single mobilization. Combining them is usually faster and cheaper than bringing separate crews and equipment out on different days.
Do you dig ponds in East Texas?
Yes. Veteran Pro digs new stock and catch ponds, cleans out and reshapes existing ponds, and handles the associated dirt hauling — either spreading the spoil on site or hauling it off, depending on what the property needs.
