What Makes Us Different

At Frontier Land Works, we focus on quality from the ground up. Every job we take on in Mineola starts with choosing the right soil. Our team has the knowledge to select the right type of dirt for your specific needs.

We always remove topsoil and grass first. Those materials won’t compact properly, leading to settling and soft spots later. Starting clean gives you a firm, dependable base.

We use a compaction roller on all builds that need it. We place soil in 8–12" lifts, then compact each layer thoroughly to create a strong, even surface.

When you’re building something that matters, don’t take chances with the foundation. We do it right the first time.
