Drainage Solutions in Monahans, TX
Grading and drainage work that gets water moving where it's supposed to go.
Drainage Solutions is one of the most-requested services Rangefinder Excavation provides around Monahans, TX. Monahans' sandy soils require different compaction approaches than the clay and caliche found elsewhere in our service area — something our crews account for on every job.
Standing water and washouts aren't just annoying — they undermine driveways, damage foundations, and erode land you're trying to use. Rangefinder Excavation designs and builds drainage solutions across the Permian Basin, from simple regrading to full drainage systems and erosion control.

- Erosion control and washout repair

- Culvert coordination for road and driveway crossings
Why Monahans Property Owners Call Us

- Experience with clay, caliche, and sandy soil drainage behavior
- Grading that fixes the cause, not just the symptom
- Erosion control built into every drainage project
Ground conditions — Monahans, TX
Ward County ground is sand — the Monahans Sandhills run right along the north side of town, and sand does not compact the way caliche does.
Sand drains almost too well; the problem is not standing water, it is a surface that will not hold shape under load without imported base.
