Asphalt Paving in Gardendale, TX

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

Rangefinder Excavation provides asphalt paving throughout Gardendale, TX and Ector County. Driveways, shop pads and barndominium pads make up most of our Gardendale work, along with clearing and drainage on new acreage lots.

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 — Gardendale, TX

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.

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.
