Bertram Is Home Base
TexTerra Solutions is based at 1069 Co Rd 264, Building F, in Bertram. Every job we do across Central Texas starts and ends here. Charlie Lisk and Colton Cunningham started the company in 2024. Colton is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran (2016–2022) with a Construction Science degree from Texas A&M, and Charlie brings more than 15 years of leadership and business experience.
Bertram has been growing. The town went from 1,616 residents in the 2020 census to an estimated 2,020 by 2024. That brings new homes on town lots, new owners on acreage along SH-29, FM 243 and FM 1174, and older properties getting fixed up. We do dirt work for all three.
The ground in eastern Burnet County changes from one property to the next. Some places have shallow, rocky soil over limestone. Others have clay that holds water and moves as it wets and dries. Near the North San Gabriel the ground drops toward the river. We look at what’s actually on your site before we quote it, so the price reflects your property.
How We Help Bertram Property Owners
Getting New Acreage Ready to Build
Buying land outside Bertram usually means three jobs in a row: clearing and leveling a pad, getting water and power to it, and making sure rain runs away from it. We handle excavation, land grading and trenching as one plan. That way the pad, the utility lines and the drainage are designed to work together.
Keeping Country Driveways Drivable
A long caliche or gravel drive off a county road takes a beating from trucks, trailers and heavy rain. Our gravel driveway repair and maintenance uses a driveway leveling system built for gravel and dirt roads. It reworks the gravel you already have, levels and compacts it in a single pass, and sets a crown so water sheds off the sides. Most drives are usable as soon as we finish, and new gravel usually isn’t needed.
Ponds, Drainage and Erosion
Pasture land around Bertram is a good fit for a stock pond. We plan where the water will come from, then dig and shape the basin to hold it (pond excavation and construction). When water is cutting gullies, undermining a fence line or washing out a slope, erosion control slows it down and keeps your soil where it belongs.

Frequently Asked Questions: Excavation in Bertram
Where are you located?
Our yard is at 1069 Co Rd 264, Building F, in Bertram. We’re open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Please call or text before you come by so someone is there to meet you.
I just bought acreage near Bertram. Where do I start?
Start with a site walk. We’ll look at where you want to build, where the water goes and how you’ll get utilities in. Then we lay out the order of work: clearing, pad, trenching, grading and the driveway.
Is my ground rocky or clay?
Around Bertram it can be either one, and sometimes both on the same property. We assess the site before we quote, so rock or wet clay shows up in the plan and not as a surprise halfway through.
Can you fix my driveway without bringing in a load of new gravel?
Usually, yes. Our leveling system pulls the existing gravel back into place, compacts it and adds a crown for drainage. New material is only needed when years of wear have carried most of it away.
Do you build stock ponds?
Yes. We pick the location based on how water moves across your land, then excavate and shape the pond so it holds water.
