What Customers Say

Straight From the Job Site

General contractors, developers and landowners across the Permian Basin — in their own words.

“We hired Rangefinders on a commercial project in Odessa, TX. They were professional, punctual and very helpful to us, as the GC, and to the project. Great company!”

“I am a developer for Betenbough and Rangefinder has been a trade for us for many years. They have done everything from cut/fill, subgrade, street base and paving. They are very reliable, honest and great prices. I would highly recommend Rangefinder Excavation for all types of development, being commercial or residential.”

Before You Call

Excavation Questions We Get Asked Most

What areas does Rangefinder Excavation serve?

We are based in Midland, TX and work the greater Permian Basin — roughly Lubbock down to Fort Stockton, and Pecos across to Abilene. That includes Odessa, Big Spring, San Angelo, Monahans, Andrews, Sweetwater and Snyder. Jobs outside that range are worth a call; larger scopes justify a longer haul.

What does excavation cost in Midland, TX?

There is no honest flat rate, because the price is driven by things that change site to site: how much material moves, how far it has to be hauled, whether base material has to be imported, how much compaction the finished surface needs, and whether anything has to come out first. We quote line-itemed off an on-site look, so the number you get is the number you pay.

Do you charge for estimates?

No. On-site estimates are free across the Midland-Odessa core and the counties around it. On the outer edge of the map — Lubbock, Abilene, San Angelo, Fort Stockton — we will still come look, we just want to talk through the scope on the phone first so the trip makes sense for both of us. Dirt work priced off a photo is a guess.

Do you own your own equipment?

Yes. We run our own dozers, excavators and graders with our own crews, and we do not broker the dirt work out to someone else and mark it up. That is why a start date is a scheduling question here rather than a rental-yard availability problem.

Are you prequalified to work for operators and general contractors?

Yes. Rangefinder Excavation is an Avetta Consortium member (since July 2025) and received Avetta's Safety Star recognition for 2025, and we carry a D-U-N-S number. Avetta is the supplier prequalification network major operators use to vet contractors on safety, insurance and compliance before they are allowed on site.

How long has Rangefinder Excavation been in business?

Since 2018, working out of Midland across the Permian Basin.
