DRIVEWAY EXCAVATION & BASE PREPARATION IN SAN ANTONIO
J316 Excavation provides professional driveway excavation and base preparation services for residential and commercial properties throughout San Antonio, Austin, and surrounding Texas communities. We prepare the proper subgrade and base for caliche, gravel, concrete, and asphalt driveways.
A properly prepared driveway base is essential for longevity and performance. Our team excavates to the correct depth, installs proper drainage, and compacts the subgrade to ensure your driveway lasts for years without settling or cracking. Cutting corners on base preparation is the most common reason driveways fail prematurely.
We work with homeowners, builders, ranchers, and commercial property owners throughout South and Central Texas. Whether you need a simple residential driveway or a long ranch road with multiple culverts, J316 Excavation has the equipment and expertise to build it right.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a caliche driveway?
Caliche is a naturally occurring calcium carbonate material found throughout South and Central Texas. It compacts into a hard, durable surface that is ideal for driveways and ranch roads. Caliche driveways are cost-effective, long-lasting, and well-suited to Texas soil conditions.
How deep should a driveway base be?
For residential driveways, a base depth of 4–6 inches of compacted base material is typically sufficient. For driveways that will carry heavy vehicles or equipment, 8–12 inches may be required. We assess your specific situation and recommend the appropriate depth for your project.
Do you install culverts for driveway drainage?
Yes. Proper drainage is critical for driveway longevity. We install culverts and drainage structures as part of our driveway construction services to ensure water flows away from the driveway surface and doesn't cause erosion or undermining.
