Earthwork Contractor Website Design
Moving dirt is a numbers business. Your website should be too.
Public owners, primes and developers check your site before they ever call: your fleet, your quantities, your safety record, your bonding. I build earthwork contractor websites that answer those checks the way a prequalification packet would — because that's what your site is.
01 / Who's Checking
Four people visit your site before the phone rings
Earthwork runs on shortlists and prequalification. By the time someone calls, they've already formed an opinion from your website. Each of these visitors wants something different.
Public owners
Cities, counties and districts
They want to know you've done public work, you understand their requirements, and you'll show up with the right paperwork.
Prime contractors
GCs building a sub list
A prime sizing up an earthwork sub needs your scope, your fleet and your capacity fast — usually from a phone, usually standing on a job site.
Developers
Site owners and their engineers
They look for proof you've built pads and sites like theirs, to spec and on schedule.
Operators
Operators and CDL drivers
Good operators have options. They check your equipment, your pay and how you treat people before they apply.
02 / What the Site Needs
What I build into every earthwork website
01
Project profiles with real numbers
Owner, scope, location and the quantities that matter: cubic yards moved, acres cleared and graded, pads built. Numbers carry more weight with owners than adjectives.
02
Fleet and equipment
Dozers, excavators, scrapers, graders, GPS machine control — what you own and run tells a prime how much work you can take on. A clear equipment page answers that before they ask.
03
Safety program
Your EMR if you share it, your training, your competent persons and how safety runs on your jobsites. Owners often check safety before price.
04
Certifications and bonding
HUB, DBE or SBE status, insurance and bonding, stated plainly so a procurement officer doesn't have to call to confirm.
05
Service area pages
Pages for the counties and cities you actually work in, so owners find you when they search close to home.
06
Capability statement
A matching capability statement and bid package for prequalification packets and public bids.
03 / Who I Work With
Earthwork specialties
I work with contractors who move dirt and set the grade everyone else builds on:

04 / Work in the Field
Texcon Utility
Texcon is a Fort Worth utility contractor — Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, DBE and SBE certified, working across twelve states. Their service portfolio leads with excavation and site development, so their site had to read serious to municipal and commercial procurement teams while still making sense to a crew lead on a job site.
I built their website, texcon-us.com, with service pages for excavation and grading, utility installation, shoring and site development — plus more than 100 service-area pages and a full Spanish version for the crews and customers who read it in Spanish.
I also built Texcon Connect, the field app their crews use for job safety analyses, daily reports, time sheets and trench inspections.
A website and a field app for the same civil contractor, built by the same person.

A careers page that fills seats
The operator shortage isn't going away. A careers page that lists real roles, shows the equipment people will run and explains how hiring works will pull in better applicants than a generic "join our team" line.
If your crews speak Spanish, the careers page should too. Applications should take a couple of minutes on a phone, because that's where most of your applicants will fill them out.
06 / Search
Found where you build
I'm based in Fort Worth and work with earthwork contractors across Tarrant, Parker, Johnson, Denton and Ellis counties and the rest of Texas. Owners search close to home first, so I build pages around the places you work and the terms they type, like "earthwork contractor Fort Worth" or "grading contractor North Texas."
After launch: my local SEO plans start at $1,500 a month. No one can promise a top ranking on Google, including me. You get honest work and a monthly report on what changed.
07 / Pricing
From $8,500
Smaller firms start at $8,500. Most contractor sites, with full project profiles and service area pages, land between $11,000 and $27,000. A capability statement and bid package add $995.
08 / Questions
Common questions
Should we publish our bonding capacity?
That's your call. Some contractors list single-project and aggregate limits. Others just state that they're bonded and insured and share the numbers on request. Either way, a buyer should never have to wonder whether you're bondable.
Does our fleet really need its own page?
Yes. For an earthwork firm, the fleet list is the capacity statement. A prime deciding whether you can handle their dirt package reads your equipment page the way they'd read a financial statement.
Can you build our site in English and Spanish?
Yes. Texcon's site has a full Spanish version, and I can plan one for your site from the start.
Who owns the website?
You do. You own your domain from day one and have access to your project files. Nothing is locked behind me.
Do you only work with Fort Worth contractors?
No. Fort Worth is home, but I work with earthwork contractors across Texas and in other states over scheduled Zoom calls.
How long does an earthwork site take?
Most take six to ten weeks, depending on how many projects and service areas we build out.
