Culvert Installation in Lubbock, TX

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

Rangefinder Excavation provides culvert installation throughout Lubbock, TX and Lubbock County. Lubbock's flat terrain and heavy clay soils make drainage grading and ag terracing two of our most requested services in the area.

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.
