Why location matters
Every city builds differently
The same earthwork scope can carry different requirements a few miles apart. Grading permit thresholds, tree protection sizes and mitigation formulas, and stormwater design criteria are set city by city across Dallas-Fort Worth.
Stormwater is a good example. NCTCOG recognizes Fort Worth, Irving, Plano, Frisco and Denton as iSWM Silver communities and Arlington at the Bronze level, while cities such as Dallas, McKinney and Carrollton design to their own manuals. Any site disturbing an acre or more also needs coverage under TCEQ’s Construction General Permit.
The ground changes too. Much of the metroplex sits on Blackland Prairie clay, which the Texas Water Development Board describes as having very high shrink-swell potential that limits building site development, while western and northern areas shift toward the Grand Prairie and the sandier Cross Timbers.

What changes
What changes from city to city
These are the local requirements we check for every site before we quote, because each one can change the schedule or the scope.
We do not issue permits or replace your civil engineer. We confirm the requirements for your address and build the schedule around them, instead of finding them mid-job.

Civil plan review path and department
Tree protection sizes and mitigation
Stormwater design manual and iSWM status
Pre-construction meeting requirements

FAQ
Service area FAQ
What areas does IRONWILL Earthworks serve?
We serve the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and North Texas, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Irving, Garland, Plano, McKinney, Frisco, Denton and Carrollton, and surrounding communities.
Do you work outside the cities listed?
Yes. If your site is in or around the metroplex, it is usually in range. Send the address and we will confirm.
Do local rules change the price of site work?
They can. Tree mitigation, permit timing, pre-construction meetings and stormwater design criteria all affect scope and schedule, which is why we confirm them for your address before we quote.
Do I need a TCEQ stormwater permit?
If the project disturbs one acre or more, or is part of a larger common plan of development that does, it needs coverage under TCEQ’s Construction General Permit and a stormwater pollution prevention plan.
How do North Texas soils affect site work?
Much of the metroplex sits on Blackland Prairie clay with very high shrink-swell potential. Building pads and paving subgrades usually need moisture conditioning, stabilization or select fill as the geotechnical report specifies.
What should I send for a quote?
The site address and acreage, civil plans and geotechnical report if they exist, the building footprint and your target schedule.
