Light Demolition
We take down old farm and ranch houses, sheds, barns and outbuildings. The hydraulic hammer breaks up concrete slabs, driveways, old foundations and piers.

Site work is the dirt work that comes before a road or a house. Intex Rock and Cedar Solutions cuts ranch roads and driveways and builds house pads and building pads. Culverts go in where water has to cross under a road. We do this work on homesites and commercial jobs from Kyle out across the Hill Country.
On rocky Hill Country land, many road jobs start with rock milling. The mill grinds loose surface rock in place into 3/4 minus caliche, and that often becomes the road base. Where cedar (Ashe juniper) blocks the route, cedar clearing opens it up first.

A ranch road or a driveway starts with the route. We clear the brush along it, then grind the road in with the tractor or the skid steer. The machine breaks up the rock in the road's path as it goes.
Hill Country rock often sits close to the surface. In the federal soil survey of Comal and Hays counties, Comfort soil with rock outcrop covers the most ground. In Comfort soil, limestone bedrock lies 10 to 20 inches down, and its main uses are rangeland and rural homesites.
The milled rock stays in place as the road base, so a caliche driveway uses rock the land already had. Boulders and ledge too big for the mill get broken with the hydraulic hammer first. Then we grade the road so rain runs off to the sides.
A culvert carries water under a road where it crosses a ditch or a draw. The National Weather Service calls South-Central Texas Flash Flood Alley. Rocky hill soils shed rain fast, so a dry draw can run hard in a storm. Without a culvert, that water runs across the road and can wash it out.
Where a new driveway meets a public road, that road's owner has a say. On a state highway, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) issues the driveway permit and approves the culvert size. Inside Kyle city limits, the city lists driveways and culverts among the work that needs a permit. In other towns, ask the city's permit office first.
Outside city limits in Hays County, start with Hays County Development Services. We point you to the right office before the culvert goes in. Once the size is set, we lay the culvert and build the driveway over it.
A building pad is the level, cleared spot a house or a barn sits on. On a wooded lot, the pad starts with land clearing. Old piers or a slab in the way come out with our light demolition work.
Then we level the pad and grade the lot so it is clean and ready to start building. On the hills, rock that sits too high gets broken out with the hammer. On the east side of Kyle, the soil map shows deep Branyon clay instead. That clay shrinks and swells with moisture, so a pad on it is a different job.
Parts of Hays County sit on the Edwards Aquifer recharge or contributing zone. There, some jobs need a plan approved by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) before the soil is disturbed. A single home on a lot larger than five acres is one of the exceptions. The state's map viewer shows where a lot sits.

Call or text (737) 317-7625. Tell us where your land is and what needs clearing.
We come out to the property. Show us the trees to keep and where a road or pad should go.
Your free estimate comes as a written quote. It spells out the work before anything starts.
We bring the machines that fit your land. Cedar and brush get mulched or pushed into burn piles, and the rock mill turns loose rock into base.
When we finish, the ground is ready for the next step. That might be a house pad or topsoil for new grass.

We grind loose surface rock and boulders into 3/4 minus caliche right where they lie. The ground can then become a lawn, a pasture, a pad or a road.

We grind brush and small trees into mulch right where they stand. The mulch stays on the ground as a cover for the soil.

I had Intex Rock & Cedar Solutions come out and rock mill about 2 acres of my field, and they did an outstanding job. The difference before and after was incredible. They showed up when they said they would, worked hard, and treated my property like it was their own.
Outstanding job by Trey with Intex Rock & Cedar Solutions! My wife and I were in need of a spot cleared for our future home and Trey exceeded our expectations. He also helped us with removing some old existing piers and leaving the ground nice and level. Highly recommend!
We recently had them out for a major project involving cedar clearing and rock crushing, and the results are incredible. They didn't just clear the land; they transformed the terrain. Their rock milling and crushing equipment turned rough, unusable limestone into a smooth, walkable surface.
Gravel and caliche driveway costs in Central Texas: published market ranges per foot and per load, and what culverts and grading add to the bill.
