From utility trenches to full site excavations, A&V Backhoe Services handles every scale of dig across West Texas. Whether you're running a new water line on a ranch, prepping a commercial pad site in Odessa, or cutting a foundation for a new build in Midland, we show up with the right iron and the experience to get it done clean.
What We Excavate
Utility trenching is one of our highest-volume services across the Permian Basin — water lines, sewer laterals, electrical conduit, gas lines, and communication conduit. We cut precise trenches at the right depth and profile, install bedding where required, and backfill and compact to spec. On larger jobs, we run excavators for bulk earthmoving alongside backhoes for detail work and proximity to structures.
For site prep and land clearing, we grade and cut raw land for construction pads, oilfield locations, industrial laydowns, and residential development. We handle the full sequence from initial clearing through rough grade, managing spoil pile placement to minimize haul-off cost and keep your site organized.
Foundation & Structural Excavation
Residential and commercial foundation digs require precision — cut it wrong and you're pouring concrete on an uneven base. Our operators work from engineer plans and maintain tight tolerances on depth and wall angle. We've done foundation digs from small residential slabs up to large commercial structures across Wink, Kermit, Monahans, and the surrounding Permian Basin.
Why Hire A&V for Excavation
Our operators know Permian Basin soil — caliche, hardpan, and sand behave differently and require different techniques. We've been working this ground for years and we don't slow down or make excuses when conditions get tough. Fully licensed and insured, on-time arrival, honest pricing, and clean sites when we leave.
