Ag Terrace Development in Greenwood, TX

Terracing that keeps topsoil where it belongs and water where you want it.

Rangefinder Excavation provides ag terrace development throughout Greenwood, TX and Midland County. Caliche driveways and building pads for shops and barndominiums make up most of our Greenwood work, with mesquite clearing and stock ponds close behind.

Every hard rain that runs straight downhill takes topsoil with it. Rangefinder Excavation builds agricultural terraces across the Permian Basin farmland, slowing runoff, reducing erosion, and helping fields hold moisture longer between rains.

Ground conditions — Greenwood, TX

Caliche sits shallow under sandy loam across the Greenwood area, which makes good driveway base once it is ripped and compacted rather than just bladed flat.

The ground is flat enough that water sits where it lands, so pads get built up and crowned instead of cut into ground with no fall to give.
