Ranch Development 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.

Running a ranch in the Permian Basin means the ground under your boots is part of the operation, not just scenery. Rangefinder Excavation has been doing ranch development and ranch dirt work across the Permian Basin since 2018 — cutting access roads, building working pads, and shaping infrastructure that holds up to caliche dust, summer heat, and the occasional gully-washer.
