The Mercado family are no strangers to Laredo or South Texas with a multiple generations calling it home. They have witnessed firsthand the amount of growth Laredo has recently undergone. As Laredo continues to grow with an expansion in both neighborhoods and roadways, there is seemingly constant construction occurring in and around the region. Accompanying that construction comes the need for stable foundations and the removal of excess material from project sites. Unfortunately when construction projects begin, piles of excavated Earth accumulate. Dealing with these piles of excavated soil can prove to be costly, labor-intensive, and physically obstructing to the building process.

Currently the Laredo Municipal Solid Waste Landfill serves as the only option for commercial material waste removal/disposal from these project sites. Identifying a greater need for the region, Shelby’s Sand Pit was founded in 2024 to help better serve Webb and Zapata county commercial construction businesses with efficiently managing their excavated Earth allowing for deadlines to be met and keeping projects on track.

Whether you are trenching to place new lines, planning a new roadway, leveling and grading for a new warehouse, or in the process of developing a neighborhood, Shelby’s Sand Pit logistically offers cost-effective means of removing and managing excess dirt, sand, caliche, and excavated Earth not containing chemicals or biologic hazards.
