Ector County
Excavation & Dirt Work Contractor in Gardendale, TX
Gardendale sits on SH-158 between Odessa and Midland, where town gives way to acreage lots, shops and barndominiums on ground that was pasture a few years ago. Rangefinder Excavation builds the driveways, pads and drainage those properties need before anything gets set on them.
It is close enough to both cities to be an easy mobilization for us and far enough out that the lots are big, the county roads are caliche, and the dirt work actually matters.
Local Note
Driveways, shop pads and barndominium pads make up most of our Gardendale work, along with clearing and drainage on new acreage lots.
- Ground conditions
- Caliche under sandy loam across this stretch of Ector County, shallow enough in most spots to build a driveway base out of what is already there.
- Water & drainage
- The ground is close to flat, so pads have to be built up and crowned and driveways given real fall — there is very little natural drainage to borrow.
- Getting there
- SH-158 is the spine through Gardendale, with FM roads and Ector County roads carrying everything off it.
- Permits
- TxDOT's Odessa district covers SH-158 frontage; Ector County Road & Bridge handles county-road approaches and culvert sizing.
