Asphalt Paving in Goldsmith, TX

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

Rangefinder Excavation provides asphalt paving throughout Goldsmith, TX and Ector County. Lease roads, well pads and tank battery pads make up most of our Goldsmith-area work, alongside road maintenance on existing locations.

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.
