Pad Prep Contractor — San Antonio

Site Work Solutions runs pad prep across San Antonio and the surrounding Hill Country — the engineered platform that every slab and steel building stands on. Clearing handoff, cut to elevation, select fill or aggregate base in proper lifts, compaction, and a finished surface ready for the concrete pour or the column set.

A building pad is more than "flat dirt." It's an engineered platformsized to the building, compacted to support the slab load, shaped to drain water away from the structure, and finished to the elevation tolerance your concrete or steel contractor needs. Skip any of those and you don't have a building pad — you have a problem waiting to crack the slab.

On a typical job we start with the cut — strip topsoil and unsuitable material, then cut to subgrade elevation. Fill goes back in lifts — usually 6 to 8 inches at a time of select fill or limestone base, each lift compacted before the next goes on. The pad surface ends a few inches above surrounding grade with positive fall away in every direction so water never ponds against the slab. On commercial and engineered residential pads we coordinate third-party density testing per the geotechnical report and the engineer's spec.

We build pads for custom homes, barndominiums, shops, hay barns, warehouses, equipment slabs, retail outparcels, and light industrial buildings. The size, depth, and engineering scale with the load — but the discipline doesn't change. Right cut, right base, right compaction, right drainage, right elevation. Every time.
