Culvert Installation in Gardendale, TX

Culverts sized and set to actually carry the water, not just look installed.

Rangefinder Excavation provides culvert installation 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.

A culvert that's too small, set at the wrong grade, or backfilled wrong will wash out the first time water really moves. Rangefinder Excavation installs culverts across the Permian Basin for driveways, ranch roads, and road crossings — concrete and metal, single and twin runs, sized to the drainage they're actually handling.

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.
