Taylor County
Excavation & Dirt Work Contractor in Abilene, TX
Abilene marks the eastern edge of our Permian Basin service area, where we handle land development and site prep for the city's steady residential and commercial growth alongside ranch and farmland work in surrounding Taylor County.
From subdivision lot grading to farmland terracing, we cover the full range of dirt work Abilene-area properties need.
Local Note
Abilene's blend of city growth and surrounding agricultural land keeps us busy with both land development and ag terrace projects.
- Ground conditions
- Taylor County ground runs from sandy loam to tight clay with rock ledges, so the same tract can dig three different ways.
- Water & drainage
- Clay holds water long after a rain, which turns unimproved driveways and pads into ruts unless there is base under them and fall away from them.
- Getting there
- I-20, US-83 and US-84 carry the haul; the loop and FM roads reach most of the growth areas.
- Permits
- TxDOT's Abilene district covers state-highway frontage; Taylor County and the City of Abilene handle the rest.
