Rezz Built Construction Services clears land and moves dirt on acreage around Durant, Oklahoma. We are based in Ada, and Durant sits at the south end of our regular range. The city carries ZIP codes 74701 and 74702, and our work reaches well past those lines. Ground around Durant runs from Blue River bottoms up to rolling upland pasture and old cedar range.
Durant has grown steadily for years, and that growth lands on the dirt first. The Choctaw Nation keeps its headquarters here, and it is the largest employer in town. The Choctaw Casino and Resort runs a 21-story hotel tower with 1,000 rooms. Southeastern Oklahoma State University adds about 5,200 students to the same few square miles. All of that pushes buyers out past the city limits and onto acreage. People pick up 5 and 10 acre tracts toward Calera, Silo, Mead, and Blue. Then they find cedar and brush standing where the house and drive have to go. Lake Texoma sits less than 15 miles from Durant, and it pulls building that way too. We run a Cat D6 dozer and a 30,000 pound excavator on this work. A tracked skid steer handles the tighter spots. Call (580) 344-7473 for a free estimate on your Durant property.

Eastern redcedar is the main problem on pasture around Durant. Oklahoma State University Extension has watched woody plants spread across Oklahoma grassland for seven decades. Redcedar counts have climbed more than 200 percent in parts of the state. Getting cedar off a pasture puts water back in the ground and grass back under the cattle.
We clear mechanically, with a dozer and an excavator doing the work. Stumps and root balls come out of the ground and go on the pile. Grinding takes the top off and leaves the root mass down in the dirt. We finished 140 acres of cedar removal on a USDA contract that way. We also get called in to finish tracts where a mulcher already ran. Ground pulled clean can be mowed or built on once it settles. Debris gets piled and burned on site where the county allows it. Bryan County commissioners can vote in burn bans, so some piles get hauled off instead.
The dirt around Durant has a name on the soil maps. The Durant series was described from a site in Bryan County, and it runs through this country. It is deep clay, formed on Cretaceous clay and shale, and water moves through it very slowly. That one fact shapes almost every job we run down here.
Slow clay is a gift when you want to hold water. It is why a stock tank in Bryan County holds instead of draining away. We dig and pack new ponds with the same dozer and excavator we clear with. On an ongoing ranch job near Sulphur we have built four ponds while clearing over 350 acres. The same clay works against you around a house or a shop. Water sits on top instead of soaking in, so the site has to shed it. That takes real shaping and a machine that can move dirt in volume. Blue River bottoms behave nothing like the upland pasture a few miles north of them.
A build site starts with clearing and ends with a level pad. We rough in and level building pads to grade for houses and shop buildings. The pad is left ready for concrete, and a concrete crew takes it from there. On the Sulphur ranch we roughed in three pads and set a storm shelter. Old barns and mobile homes come down before anything new goes up. Inside the Durant city limits, the Community Development department handles the demolition permit. Out on county land the paperwork is different, and Bryan County is the office to call. We work on both sides of that line.
Every dig in Oklahoma starts with a call to OKIE811. State law asks for two business days notice before an excavator touches the ground. The clock skips weekends and holidays, and it skips the day you called it in. We build that wait into the schedule and set the start date around it. Fence lines get their own pass with the excavator and skid steer. We clear the line and stack the brush so a fence builder can set posts. Fence building itself goes to a builder we work with. We take Durant calls at (580) 344-7473 and estimates are free.
