Our Story
About Rangefinder Excavation
A Midland, TX excavation and dirt work contractor built on straightforward work, honest pricing, and equipment that gets the job done right.
Since 2018
Rangefinder Excavation started in 2018 with a simple idea: Midland-area landowners, ranchers, and builders deserve a dirt work contractor who shows up when they say they will, grades it right the first time, and explains the “why” behind the work instead of just running equipment.
Since then we've graded ranch roads, built stock ponds, prepped commercial pads, and cleared land across Midland, TX and the greater Permian Basin — from Lubbock down to Fort Stockton, Pecos across to Abilene, and everywhere in between. The work looks different from job to job, but the standard doesn't change.
We're still a crew that knows the caliche, clay, and rock of this part of Texas, and still willing to drive the extra miles it takes to get to a remote ranch gate.
Credentials
Prequalified, Verified, and On the List
Operators and general contractors in the Permian Basin can't hire a dirt contractor who isn't vetted. Here's ours, in writing.
Avetta Consortium Member

Avetta is the supplier prequalification network major operators use to vet contractors on safety, insurance, and compliance before they're allowed on site. Membership means our paperwork is current and auditable, not something we scramble to assemble after you call.
Avetta Safety Star 2025
Issued by Avetta · Awarded 2025
Avetta's Safety Star recognition for our 2025 safety performance. On a well pad or a commercial site, the crew that works safe is also the crew that keeps your schedule — incidents are what stop a job cold.

A Job Site from 300 Feet Up
Every pad we build has to look this square from the air.
What We Value
Do It Right the First Time
We'd rather take an extra half-day getting the grade and compaction right than come back to fix a washout six months later.
Show Up When We Say
Midland-area properties are often remote. We plan around that and communicate clearly instead of leaving you guessing.
Straight Talk, Straight Pricing
We scope the job up front, explain the why behind our recommendations, and don't pad the bill with surprise add-ons.
Built for the Long Haul
We've been running since 2018 because customers call us back for the next project. That's the only metric that matters.
Our Equipment
We run a fleet sized for real Midland-area dirt work — excavators, dozers, motor graders, and haul trucks — matched to the job, whether that's a ranch-scale road or a commercial pad site.
- • Excavators for trenching, culvert work, and pond construction
- • Dozers for land clearing, grading, and pad construction
- • Motor graders for roads, driveways, and finish grading
- • Haul trucks for material delivery and site balancing
- • Compaction equipment for base and dam construction
