Excavation in Wharton, TX

Serving Wharton · Wharton County

What We Do Around Wharton

RLS Land Solutions runs excavation in Wharton, Texas, about 31 miles from our home base in Needville. Wharton is the county seat, and it sits on the Colorado River where US 59 comes through. We are the Comparetto family, and we have done this work for 15 years. Our excavation work here covers land clearing, dirt work and grading, building pads and ranch roads. We dig ponds and lakes, and we haul material in our own tandem dump trucks. We also sell select fill, fill dirt and sand out of our own pits in Fort Bend County. Most jobs in Wharton County get measured in acres and truckloads. The equipment we run is built for that.

Our customers around Wharton are ranch and farm owners, builders, and people with acreage outside town. We also work for commercial and industrial jobs in the county. The smallest excavator we own weighs 50,000 pounds. We run larger machines than that, plus a fleet of tandem dump trucks. That scale sets the size of job we can take, so our projects start around $10,000. A pond, a few acres of clearing, or a pad that takes hundreds of loads all clear that bar. On volume work we can run around the clock and put more than one shift on the ground.

The ground under Wharton

Wharton sits low. The city is about 102 feet above sea level, and the county runs from 50 to 200 feet. The Colorado River splits the county roughly in half and runs right past town. Ground near the river is alluvial soil that the river laid down over a long time. Away from the bottoms you get loam, coastal clay and pockets of sand. That mix changes how dirt behaves. Clay holds water and moves with the weather. Sandy ground drains but will not hold a pond bank on its own. We read the dirt on site before we set a plan for grading or fill.

Rain is the other half of it. Wharton County averages about 42 inches a year, and it comes in hard bursts. Flat ground and 42 inches do not mix well without a path for water. Most of the dirt work we do here has a drainage piece to it. Fields need the low spots filled and the fall set toward a ditch. Homesites need the ground sloped away from the slab. Pastures hold water in ruts and old wallows until somebody knocks them down. None of that takes fancy work. It takes machines that can move real volume and a plan for where the water goes.

Working Wharton from our pits in Needville

Our sand and dirt pits sit in southeast Fort Bend County, north of Wharton on the Needville side. That puts loaded trucks about a 31 mile run from town. We load select fill, fill dirt, sand and sandy loam at our own pits and haul it down ourselves. We set our own loading hours and we control the supply. On a job that runs hundreds of loads, that control is what keeps the trucks rolling. We also own a green waste dump site, so cleared trees and brush have a place to go. The material leaves your property and lands on ours.

The jobs we take in this county run big. We have cleared thousands of acres for utility scale solar projects. We did the dirt work on a data center site near Blessing, down US 59 from Wharton. We build pads, ponds and lakes for private ranches, and we move hundreds of loads of fill at a time. The town itself holds the county courthouse and Wharton County Junior College. Most of our work sits outside the city limits. Farm and ranch ground here comes in real acreage, and building sites near the river need real elevation. We are open 24 hours, and on a tight schedule we will run more than one shift.

What does excavation work cost in Wharton?
It depends on the job. Around Houston, dirt work is commonly priced by the load, the acre or the hour. A pad or a pond gets priced as a whole job. Our projects start around $10,000 because of the size of equipment we move. We give a firm number after seeing the site and the scope.
Do you work outside the Wharton city limits?
Yes. Most of our Wharton County work is outside town. We run out to Glen Flora, Hungerford, Peach Creek and the ground along the river. Farm and ranch tracts are the bulk of it. If your place is off a county road or a private drive, that is normal for us.
How soon can you get equipment to Wharton?
Wharton is about 31 miles from our home base in Needville, so moving equipment there is a short haul. Start dates depend on what our machines are already on. Tell us your deadline when you call. If a job needs speed, we can add equipment and run longer days, since we are open 24 hours.
