Asphalt Paving in Pecos, TX

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

Rangefinder Excavation provides asphalt paving throughout Pecos, TX and Reeves County. Well pad construction and drainage/erosion control lead our Pecos-area work, reflecting the region's oilfield activity and flash-flood-prone terrain.

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.
