Phillips Driveways & Excavation

Phillips Driveways & Excavation runs excavation and concrete work from Leander, Texas. Chris and Tracy handle the jobs and cover site grading, gravel driveway builds, road repairs, drainage fixes, and concrete pads for sheds or carports. They serve Leander plus Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Hutto, Brushy Creek, Taylor, and Burnet.

Homeowners bring them in when driveways rut from rain or wash out on slopes. Chris and Tracy have laid gravel on 800 foot runs, smoothed 1400 foot entries, repaired erosion on ranch roads, and added pads that stay put after heavy storms. They also clear flood debris, fix culverts, and grade long stretches so water drains instead of pooling.

The crew answers calls promptly and sends updates without being asked. They finish on schedule to beat weather, clean up after each day, and offer several payment choices. Work covers the listed towns around Leander with fair pricing that matches the effort shown on both small yard fills and half mile roads.

Reviews all rate the company at five stars and keep coming back to the same points. People note clear talks from the first visit through final grade, solid results that hold up in Central Texas weather, and crews that protect lawns while they work.

“Phillips Driveways did an awesome job building our 800 ft driveway. Their communication during the build processand was excellent. I'd highly recommend these guys for any driveway/ road building projects you may have.”

“Our sloped ranch road was suffering from major erosion, and Phillips D&E did a fantastic job on the repairs. During the entire process, they were communicative, provided updates without being asked, and finished the job in a timely manner. The work is definitely quality and we will use them again for future projects.”

“We recently had our driveway done and couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. The team showed up on time, communicated clearly, and paid great attention to detail every step of the way.”

“We appreciate Chris, Tracy, and the crews that built our gravel driveway, walkways, and concrete pad for the future carport. The Phillips Skid Steering Granite and Gravel Team (Chris, Tracy, and the crews) is wonderful and professional to work with. The level of communication regarding the project exceeded my expectations, and the price reflected solid value for the work. In addition, there are a variety of payment options for us to choose from if we approve the project. Additionally, Chris and Tracy always explained every step of the project, starting with the personal, hassle-free estimation and ending with recommendations on how to take care of the concrete pad once the project is completed. We trust the Phillips Skid Steering Granite and Gravel Team. Not only that, the Structural concrete was poured with exact precision, and the gravel driveway was laid evenly with great attention to detail. We strongly recommend Phillips Skid Steering Granite and Gravel. Greatly appreciated.”

“I am so happy with my new driveway. Awesome job. Great folks. Good price. I recommend Phillips skid steering for any job!”

“Chris went above and beyond what I expected. Our driveway looks great! Had the decomposed granite put in by our house to give us a better parking situation…We’ve got a long driveway about 500 feet and he graded it and smoothed out all the way to the road. We’ve had issues with rocks and drainage for years, now our driveway is smooth and drains much better…Looking forward to having him back out for more.”

“I can’t say enough about this family run business. Work after the flood out there they replaced my Road with fresh granite and it is incredible. Second and third picture. They also created a way to get down to the river that was washed out from the flood. So easy to work with, so much integrity, great work, and upfront about the cost, which I found very, very fair. Highly recommend them.”

“Chris was able to get the job done before the rains set in! And it didn’t wash away after 8 inches!”

“We have a long driveway that was damaged in the July storms. Really appreciate the time Chris & Tracy took to explain what options we have for repair and what could be done to prevent damage in the future. The team did amazing work and we really appreciate the level of professionalism. Definitely will use their services again.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a fellow local service professional, we don’t recommend contractors lightly — but Phillips Driveways & Excavation absolutely earned it. They recently handled driveway and site prep work for one of our shared clients, and the experience from start to finish was outstanding. Clear communication, realistic timelines, clean job site, and — most importantly — excellent base prep, grading, and drainage, which makes all the difference here in Central Texas. Their crew knows how to build gravel driveways and concrete driveways that actually last, even on challenging rural properties. The client was thrilled with the results, and it made our work easier knowing the excavation and land grading were done right the first time. If you’re looking for a reliable excavation contractor in Leander, TX or the greater Central Texas area — whether it’s driveways, road base, land grading, site prep, or drainage solutions — Phillips Driveways & Excavation is a company we’re confident putting our name behind. Professional, hardworking, and detail-oriented. We’d gladly work alongside them again. — Stonebridge Pond & Waterfall Co.”

“Tracy and Chris recovered our driveway with decomposed granite. First Chris smoothed out the ruts and made the driveway level again, then covered with a beautiful granite. It makes a dramatic entry to our property. Tracy and Chris are easy to work with, kept me informed of the progress of the work and cleaned up after the job was completed.”

“I have a 1,000 ft driveway that dips down over a creek and back up with many elevation changes and turns. Phillips SS helped fix problem areas where existing road base had washed away and touched up the rest of the driveway. I appreciated their thoroughness with estimates, timelines, and communication. They were great to work with and will use again for future projects.”

“It was a great pleasure working with Chris, Tracy and the entire crew! They transformed our driveway and the addition of the walkway was really amazing! They listened to our needs and concerns and most importantly, they didn’t just sell us the work if we didn’t need it. Will use them again for future projects!”

“Excellent! Built to last! Chris & Tracy were great to work with. Extremely accommodative, responsive, reliable, friendly, and have delivered an amazing product. They built a 600' long road and 35x45 building pad. As a Civil Engineer, I've seen a lot of roadway construction and contractors, and this company is a rare gem in this industry. Started when they said they would and finished 2 days early to beat the rain (a must!). Very impressed.”

“We needed some pretty major driveway and drainage work done at our new house. Our driveway was way too narrow and water would pool up next to it for days every time it rained. Chris and Tracy came to our house and designed a solution that not only solved our problems but was also conscious of our budget. Most companies are just interested in getting paid, but Phillips SS truly cared about helping us. We would recommend them to anyone needing driveway or other similar work done.”

“Very pleased with the work they did! It was a combination of debris removal from the floods , clearing culverts and repairing my gravel driveway. They were on time, very communicative and professional. I’d definitely recommend them to others!”

“I was looking for someone to spread some dirt and gravel in my yard, a relatively small job. I was having a problem finding someone that wasn’t going to charge me a high inflated cost until I found Phillips Skid Steering. Chris and Traci were great to work with. Chris was a master at the skid steer. He was able to maneuver is some tricky spots and was conscious about protecting lawn and drive when possible. Traci was the the person on the ground and was invaluable in communicating my vision to Chris. They were a great team. If you’re looking for a company that will work the details and at a great price, see the crew at Phillips Skid Steering”

“Quality. Attention to detail. Customer service. I had them grade and lay a little over half a mile of driveway and they did a fantastic job. They listened to our needs and desires and delivered perfectly. As someone who runs heavy machinery on nearly a daily basis it was a pleasure to see a team that I can say did a better job than I would have. I highly recommend them for any job you may need. Fair pricing and quality service… You can’t beat it. I will definitely have them back out for future projects.”

“I purchased a home with a 1400" driveway that was never done properly. It had ruts that would turn my drive into a river every time it rained. I tried filling the holes myself with gravel but would soon wash away. It was embarrassing to watch my friends and family maneuver around the ruts and mud. After searching the web and calling several companies that claim they would add gravel and level but never mentioned anything about compacting each layer. I found Phillips S S website and read their reviews. I was impressed with all the reviews and the pictures looked like the things i was looking for. I set an appointment to have them physically come out and look at my mess. They looked over every part of my drive. They explained to me what needed done and how they could get my drive to where it needs to be. They impressed me with their knowledge right away. After we agreed on the quote they set a start date and a time line to finish. They kept to their word and finished on time even with all they had to do. I now have a driveway that I can brag about and I believe it adds value to my home. I would recommend them to anyone who wants someone they can trust to do what they promise. I'm no”
