Asphalt Paving in Abilene, TX

Pavement is only as good as what's under it — and that part is ours.

Rangefinder Excavation provides asphalt paving throughout Abilene, TX and Taylor County. Abilene's blend of city growth and surrounding agricultural land keeps us busy with both land development and ag terrace projects.

Almost every failed parking lot in the Permian Basin failed from underneath. The mat gets blamed, but the real culprit is a subgrade that was never compacted, a base that was too thin, or water with nowhere to go. Rangefinder Excavation approaches asphalt from the dirt up, because the dirt is what decides whether the pavement lasts five years or fifteen.

Ground conditions — Abilene, TX

Taylor County ground runs from sandy loam to tight clay with rock ledges, so the same tract can dig three different ways.

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.
