Building Pad & House Pad Construction
A house pad — or a pad for a shop, barn or outbuilding — is only as good as the dirt work underneath it. Get it wrong and you're looking at settling, drainage problems and foundation issues years down the road.
Built to hold up
We build pads for new homes, barndominiums, shops and outbuildings across North Texas. That means cutting or filling to the target elevation, compacting the fill in lifts rather than dumping it all at once, and grading the finished pad with drainage away from the structure.
If you have engineered plans specifying pad elevation, compaction requirements or fill type, we'll work to those specs. If you don't have plans yet, we can help you think through what the pad needs based on the site.

Why Kickin K Services
We treat pad work as structural, not cosmetic — because it is. A pad that's compacted and graded correctly protects everything built on top of it.
