Howard County
Excavation & Dirt Work Contractor in Big Spring, TX
Big Spring sits where the Permian Basin oilfield meets ranch country, and our work here reflects that mix — ranch road building and pond construction on one job, well pad access grading on the next.
We know the caliche and rock conditions common around Big Spring and Howard County, and we grade for them instead of fighting them.
Local Note
Ranch development and pond construction stay in steady demand around Big Spring, alongside oilfield-related site work.
- Ground conditions
- Howard County ground turns rocky quickly — caliche ledge and rock are common, and shallow rock changes both the dig and the price.
- Water & drainage
- Ground falls off toward the draws east and south of town, which helps drainage but concentrates runoff into channels that cut if they are not armored.
- Getting there
- I-20 and US-87 carry the through traffic; ranch access runs off county roads and private two-tracks.
- Permits
- TxDOT's Abilene district covers state-highway access; Howard County Road & Bridge handles county road approaches and culvert sizing.
