100 Years of Excellence and Integrity

L.H. Lacy Company is now in its 107th year. Civil construction has come a very long way since our founding in 1919. However, some things never change-specifically our commitment to excellence, integrity, quality and performance.

We are especially proud of our good name and longstanding relationships with valued customers, engineers, government agencies, and suppliers. We’ve trained high quality people and made safety and quality much more than a slogan. Our industry leadership has been demonstrated repeatedly through equipment innovation and the continuous development of new processes that add accuracy and control to our projects. As a full service civil contractor, we are proud to be able to fulfill your entire project needs with one turn-key contracting service.

Founder L.H. Lacy established our company in Dallas in 1919, constructing homes and buildings, including the city’s historic Woodrow Wilson High School, parts of renowned Scott & White Hospital in Temple, as well as Austin’s landmark Driskill Hotel. In the early 1930’s, we added heavy civil construction services and began building bridges, brick highways, and concrete pavement. 

Notable projects include;

• Portions of original Central Expressway
• Dallas Love Field, Dallas/Ft. Worth International airport
• Dallas North Tollway
• Redbird Airport(now Dallas Executive Airport)
• Hobby Airport
• Katy Freeway in Houston and many regional military and government facilities.

Lacy was one of the first to use slip-form paving in Texas, and later, successfully employed the technique on subdivision and city streets. Lacy next pioneered the Hagan horizontal shaft central mixer, the lime slurry valve, the Gomaco 9500 placer/trimmer and the use of fly ash in portable plants. Our current portfolio of work includes Municipal and county projects, shopping centers, churches, schools, warehouses, distribution centers and Residential subdivisions.

With 107 years of experience on some the biggest civil projects, we’ve earned our widespread reputation for excellence, integrity, quality and performance, year after year.
