Terms & Conditions
Last updated: July 2026
We’re a family dirt-work and trucking operation out of Magnolia. Most of our work comes from neighbors and referrals, and a handshake still means something to us. The pages below exist because the world requires them, not because we plan to need them. Read once, ask about anything unclear, and let’s get back to the dirt.
1. Who these terms cover
“We,” “us,” and “our” means EAF Land Development LLC and EAF Ventures LLC, two affiliated Texas limited liability companies under common family ownership. Equipment services are generally performed by EAF Land Development LLC; hauling and material delivery are generally performed by EAF Ventures LLC, an FMCSA-registered motor carrier (USDOT 3828827). These terms apply to all services, deliveries, and use of this website.
2. Estimates
Walk-throughs and written estimates are free and carry no obligation. Estimates are based on conditions visible and accessible at the time. Concealed conditions discovered after work begins (buried debris, stumps, springs, unsuitable soil, unmarked lines) may require a written change order and additional cost, which we will document and discuss with you before proceeding.
3. Scope of work & change orders
The work we perform is the work described in your written estimate or agreement. Changes after acceptance require a written change order agreed to by both parties. Verbal changes are not binding on either of us.
4. Material sales & deliveries
Materials (select fill, sand, topsoil, crushed concrete, milled asphalt, rock, and similar) are sold by the load, priced delivered unless stated otherwise. Load volumes are nominal truck capacities, not surveyed measures. Natural materials vary in color, moisture, and composition from load to load; reasonable variation is not a defect. All material sales are final upon delivery. If you believe a load is wrong, tell the driver before it leaves the truck; once material is dumped at your direction, it is accepted.
5. Delivery access & placement
You are responsible for confirming that a loaded dump truck can safely reach and leave the drop point: gate width, overhead clearance, culverts, and ground firmness. Trucks leaving the paved road do so at your request and at your risk; we are not responsible for ruts, rutted lawns, cracked driveways or culverts, or a truck stuck on soft ground when placement off pavement was requested. If our driver judges the requested spot unsafe, we will dump at the nearest safe point.
6. Utilities, septic & property lines
Before equipment work begins, you are responsible for identifying property lines and for marking private underground improvements — septic tanks and lateral lines, water wells, sprinkler systems, low-voltage lines, and private pipe. Call 811 for public utility locates. We are not responsible for damage to unmarked or mismarked private underground improvements, or for work performed inside property lines you identified to us.
7. Clearing, grading & drainage
Land clearing permanently removes vegetation you direct us to remove; walk the flags with us before we start, because a pushed-over tree does not go back up. Grading and drainage work is performed to the grades and directions agreed in the estimate. Surface drainage depends on factors beyond our work, including rainfall intensity, upstream flow, soils, and later changes to the property; we do not guarantee a property will never hold water.
8. Ponds
Pond work is earth-moving, not hydrology certification. Whether a pond holds water depends on soils, clay content, and groundwater conditions on your land. We will tell you honestly what we see while digging, but we do not warrant water-holding performance unless agreed in writing.
9. Scheduling & weather
Dirt work is weather-dependent. Rain, saturated ground, or unsafe conditions can shift schedules, and working wet ground badly is worse than waiting. We will keep you posted and reset dates promptly.
10. Payments
Payment terms are stated on your estimate or invoice. Unless stated otherwise, material deliveries are due on delivery and equipment work is due on completion. Returned checks and unpaid invoices may incur costs of collection as allowed by law.
11. Force majeure
We are not liable for delays or non-performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including severe weather, fuel or material shortages, equipment breakdowns awaiting parts, supplier delays, or government action.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our maximum liability for any claim arising from a job or delivery is limited to the amount actually paid for that job or delivery. We are not liable for consequential, incidental, or indirect damages. Any claim must be brought within twelve (12) months of the work or delivery giving rise to it.
13. Site safety
Active dirt-work sites are construction zones. Keep vehicles, pets, and children clear of equipment, spoil piles, and truck paths during working hours. Do not approach operating equipment; if you need the operator, wave from a distance and wait for the machine to shut down.
14. Photography
We may photograph completed work for portfolio and marketing use. Identifying details such as a specific address or owner name are not published without consent.
15. Dispute resolution
Disputes that cannot be resolved through direct discussion will be submitted to binding arbitration in Montgomery County, Texas, before a single arbitrator. Each party bears its own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitrator finds a claim frivolous. You and we each waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action.
16. Privacy
We never sell your personal information. We share it only with the suppliers and subcontractors necessary to complete your work, and only as required by law.
