Asphalt Paving in Midkiff, TX

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

Rangefinder Excavation provides asphalt paving throughout Midkiff, TX and Upton County. Ranch roads, stock ponds and oilfield pad work are the steady jobs around Midkiff, often on the same property.

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 — Midkiff, TX

Upton County ground turns rocky in places, with caliche ledge close to the surface — shallow rock changes both how a job digs and what it costs.
