OUR STORY

About Horizon Land & Home

Ryan Oliphant has spent 30 years as a builder, trade partner, and material supplier, and that experience shapes how Horizon Land & Home runs every job in Belton, Temple, and nearby Central Texas.

We take on the work most companies hand off to someone else: clearing the lot, grading the slope, digging the foundation, tearing out the old structure, and carrying the build through to final punch. One crew, one point of contact, and one plan from start to finish.

Local work, local knowledge

Our service area is built around Belton and Temple, so we know how the clay soil drains, where the slopes give trouble, and what local builders expect from site prep. Whether you need grading contractor work in Belton TX, excavation contractor services, or a retaining wall contractor in Temple TX, you get a team that already knows the ground you are standing on.

Plain talk, straight work

Ryan's approach is simple: tell you what needs doing, explain it in plain language, and do it right the first time. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, and it is why so many of our jobs start with a neighbor's recommendation.

Our Mission

Horizon Land & Home exists to deliver dependable land and home services with quality workmanship, local expertise, and results that customers can count on, from the first pass of the dozer to the final punch on a new build. We serve homeowners, property owners, and residential builders across Belton and Temple, and we hold ourselves to the same standard on a small grading job as on a full foundation-to-finish project.

Thirty years as a builder, trade partner, and material supplier taught us that the details decide whether a job is done right. We give you a clear scope and price before work starts, we keep the site clean, and we treat your property with the care we would want for our own. When a project needs site prep, tree work, a retaining wall, or demolition before the framing goes up, one crew coordinates it all so you are not chasing three contractors.

Dependable work, done right, from site prep to final finish.

What to Expect When You Hire Us

Before you call, you probably want to know who handles what, how cleanup works, and how pricing gets settled. Here are straight answers from Horizon Land & Home, the Belton and Temple team that has been building and supplying materials for 30 years.

Who do I call to prep a lot for a new home in Central Texas?

Call Horizon at 254-444-6735. We handle lot clearing, grading, excavation, and site prep under one provider, so you are not coordinating three separate companies before the foundation goes in.

Can one company handle demolition and site prep before construction?

Yes. We handle demolition, excavation, grading, and residential construction from foundation through final punch. Your lot gets prepared and your build moves forward with the same crew.

How do you handle cleanup?

Cleanup is written into the scope of every job, so you know what is included before work starts. We do not leave debris, cut trees, or spoil piles behind as an afterthought.

How is pricing handled?

You get a written scope and pricing before any work begins. Once you approve it, the numbers stay tied to that scope, so there are no surprises on the final invoice.

Do you handle inspection fixes and punch list repairs?

Yes. We take on third-party inspection items and residential punch list repairs. Tell us what the inspector flagged and we will confirm the scope and timeline.

Do I need a permit or engineering for my project?

It depends on the scope, such as retaining walls, grading, or tree removal. We will confirm what applies to your project during the site review so you know before you commit.
