Professional Groundwork, Delivered With Precision

At De Leon’s Ranch Services, we provide reliable, professional excavation services for residential, agricultural, and commercial properties across Blanco, TX and surrounding Hill Country communities. Our work is driven by one guiding principle: do it right the first time.


With deep local experience, specialized equipment, and a hands-on owner-operator approach, we deliver results that save you time, protect your investment, and prepare your land for long-term success. Whether it’s a half-acre brush clearing or trenching through rock for utility lines, we bring the right solution to every job.

A Company That Understands the Land

We’re not just contractors — we’re local land experts who work these properties every day. Blanco and the Texas Hill Country have a unique mix of rocky soil, thick vegetation, and uneven terrain. We know how to navigate it because we’ve done it countless times before.

This local knowledge saves time, prevents damage, and ensures better results. When you hire De Leon’s Ranch Services, you're hiring a team that knows how to work with the land — not against it.

Our Core Excavation Services

We offer a wide range of site preparation and land improvement services. Every service is tailored to match your project size, site conditions, and schedule.

LAND CLEARING

Our land clearing services remove trees, cedar, brush, rocks, and other obstructions to give you a clean, usable worksite. We handle small residential lots, multi-acre ranches, and everything in between. Whether you're prepping for a fence, a foundation, or pasture improvement, we’ll open up the land safely and efficiently.

Proper grading ensures stability, drainage, and usability. We grade land to create level pads for homes, barns, driveways, or culverts. Our grading work is precise, helping reduce erosion, standing water, and uneven foundation risk. If you need contouring or elevation correction, we’ve got the right tools for the job.

Rock Saw Trenching

Trenching in Blanco County often means cutting through solid limestone and rocky terrain. Our rock saw trenching equipment is designed specifically for these conditions. We cut clean trenches for water lines, electric conduit, gas lines, and drainage — all to exact specifications.

Skid Steer Work

Our skid steer services are ideal for a wide range of general land projects. We can move dirt, spread gravel, haul debris, tear out small structures, or prep for concrete. With multiple attachments and skilled operation, our skid steer equipment adapts to whatever your land needs.

Backfilling

After utilities or structural components are installed, the ground needs to be refilled properly. We provide compacted, even backfilling for trenches, foundations, propane tank holes, and more. This helps maintain site safety, promote drainage, and prepare the surface for final use.

How We Work

Owner-Operated and Hands-On

Every project is personally overseen by the owner. From the initial walk-through to the final grading pass, you’ll deal directly with the person doing the work. That means fewer mistakes, better communication, and higher standards.

Clear Bids, Real Timelines

We don’t believe in vague quotes or shifting deadlines. After a site visit, we provide a straightforward estimate and a realistic schedule — and we stick to both.

Equipment That Matches the Job

We use trenchers, skid steers, and grading equipment that’s appropriate for Central Texas terrain. This ensures better productivity and minimizes wear on your land.

Safety, Site Cleanliness, and Respect
