Where's the property?

Mobilisation is a real cost, so the farther out you are the more it factors in. Pick the closest town and we will work out the rest.

Your estimate
$0 $0

This is a planning number, not a contract. Rock, roots and wet ground change things. We walk every property free of charge and hand you a written price before a single thing gets moved — and that written price is the one you pay. To hold your spot on the schedule we take 50% up front, with the balance due when the job is finished and you have walked it with us.

We have your details and the numbers you just built. Expect a call or text back — usually same day, always within 24 hours.

What I do

Compact equipment work for homeowners, landowners, ranchers and builders — anywhere from a Fort Worth backyard to forty acres past the county line. If it is moving dirt, rock or brush on a small to mid-size site, it is on this list.

04 — About

Two owners.
Both on the job.

Lone Star Dirt Solutions is Asher Hooten and Robert Rea — fifty-fifty, no silent partner, no third guy taking a cut. We answer the phone ourselves, we walk your property together, and we are both standing on your dirt while the work happens. One runs the machine, the other runs the chainsaw, the rake and the string line. There is no dispatcher to get lost between you and us, and nobody to point at if something is not right.

We run late-model Bobcat compact equipment on every job, with the right attachment for the actual work instead of whatever happened to be on the trailer that morning. Well-kept machines do not leak on your grass, do not break down in the middle of your project, and do not turn a two-day job into a five-day one.

You get a written price before anything moves. We take 50% to lock in your date and the balance when the work is done and you have walked it with us. No change orders sprung on you at the end — if we hit something we did not expect, we stop and call you first.

How we price

No mystery numbers

A written price before we start, 50% to hold the date, the rest when it is finished. If we hit rock or something buried, we stop and call you — we do not just add it to the bill at the end.

How we work

Clean site, every time

Ruts filled, debris stacked or gone, gates closed behind us. Your place should look better than we found it, not just the patch we worked on.

How we schedule

We show up

If we say Tuesday, we are there Tuesday, and so is the delivery truck. If weather moves us, you hear it from us that morning — not after you have burned a day waiting.

05 — Common questions

Straight answers

The things people ask us before they hire us. If yours is not here, send it over and we will answer it the same way — plainly.

How much is this going to cost me?

Every property is different, so the honest answer is that we have to look at it. The price builder on the home page will get you a realistic range in about a minute — most people land within a few hundred dollars of their final number. After that we come out, walk it with you and hand you a firm written price. No charge for any of that.

Do you charge for an estimate?

No. We come out, walk the property, talk through what you actually want, and give you a written price. If you decide not to go with us, you owe us nothing and we will not chase you about it.

How does payment work?

Once you have the written estimate and you give us the green light, we take 50% up front to lock in your date and cover materials. The remaining 50% is due when the job is finished — after you have walked the site with us and you are happy with it. We take cash, check, card and bank transfer.

Why do you need a deposit?

Two reasons, and neither is complicated. It reserves your slot on the calendar, which means we turn down other work for that window. And it covers the material and equipment we have to line up before day one. It is standard practice for dirt work and it protects both of us.

How soon can you start?

Usually within one to two weeks, sometimes sooner if we have a gap. Small jobs — a few post holes, a bit of grading — can often get squeezed in within a few days. Big clearing jobs need more lead time. Send us your job and we will tell you straight what the calendar looks like.

What areas do you cover?

All of Dallas–Fort Worth and the rural counties around it — Tarrant, Denton, Wise, Parker, Johnson, Ellis, Collin, Hood, Jack and out from there. If you are further out than that, ask anyway. If it is a job worth driving for, we will drive for it.

What happens if you hit rock or something buried?

We stop and we call you. You will hear about it that day, with a clear explanation of what it means for the price and the schedule, and you decide how to proceed. What we do not do is quietly keep working and hand you a bigger bill at the end.

Do I need to be there while you work?

Not the whole time, no. We do want you there for the initial walk-through so we are both clear on what is happening and where, and again at the end so you can look it over before you settle up. In between, go to work. We will send you photos.

Do you haul the debris off?

We can, and it is a line item on your estimate so you can see exactly what it costs. If you would rather keep the material — plenty of folks want the mulch or want the brush piled for a burn — we will stack it neat somewhere out of your way and knock the haul-off charge off your price.

What about utility lines?

We call 811 before we dig, every time, no exceptions. That covers public utilities. Anything private that runs across your property — a water line to a barn, a septic field, a buried electric run to a shop — you need to tell us about, because 811 will not mark those. Point them out on the walk-through and we will work around them.

What if it rains?

Dirt work and mud do not mix — pushing through wet ground tears up your property and gives you a worse result. If weather moves us, you hear it from us that morning, not after you have taken a day off waiting. We reschedule to the next clear day and the price does not change.

Do you do concrete, fencing or landscaping?

We do the dirt and the prep — grading, pads, drives, clearing, post holes, drainage. We do not pour concrete or build fence ourselves, but we work alongside crews who do, and we can point you to people we trust. Getting the ground right first is what makes their job come out clean.

How big a job is too small?

There is a minimum — it costs the same to get set up whether we are there for two hours or eight. If your job is genuinely tiny, tell us anyway. Sometimes we can tack it onto a day we are already working nearby and it costs you a lot less.

The short version

How a job runs, start to finish

  1. You send it over. Build a price on the home page or just tell us what you need. Costs you nothing.
  2. We come look. We walk the property with you, ask the questions that matter, and hand you a firm written price.
  3. You give the green light. A 50% deposit locks in your date and covers materials.
  4. We do the work. You get updates. If anything unexpected turns up, you hear about it before we act on it.
  5. You walk it with us. Once you are happy, the remaining 50% is due. That is the whole arrangement.
