Ranch Development in Pecos, TX

Ranch roads, pads, and infrastructure built to work as hard as you do.

Ranch Development is one of the most-requested services Rangefinder Excavation provides around Pecos, TX. Well pad construction and drainage/erosion control lead our Pecos-area work, reflecting the region's oilfield activity and flash-flood-prone terrain.

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.

Ground conditions — Pecos, TX

Reeves County sits on the Delaware Basin side of the play — sandy, alkaline ground with caliche layers and long haul distances to base.

Almost no rain most of the year, then a storm that moves more water in an hour than the ground sees in months; erosion control is what keeps a new pad from becoming a repair job.
