Pond Construction in Andrews, TX

Stock ponds and tanks built to hold water, not just hold a hole.

Pond Construction is one of the most-requested services Rangefinder Excavation provides around Andrews, TX. Well pad and access road work dominates our Andrews-area projects, alongside ranch dirt work for local landowners.

A stock pond is only as good as the dirt work underneath it. Rangefinder Excavation builds ponds, stock tanks, and small dams across Permian Basin ranch and rural properties, sizing the dam, spillway, and basin to the watershed feeding it — not just digging a hole and hoping it holds water.
