Caliche layers in the Dalhart area can be several feet thick and harden to a near-rock consistency, which means standard excavation equipment may not be enough to reach the required depth for foundations or septic systems. Site assessment before excavation begins is the only way to know what the ground will require. Projects that skip this step often run into delays and added cost once the caliche layer is hit mid-dig.

Yes. Rural and agricultural properties in Dallam and Hartley counties are a regular part of the construction work in this area, and new septic installs on large acreage lots are handled from site assessment through final inspection.

Yes. New construction on ranch and farm properties in Dallam and Hartley counties includes shop buildings, equipment pads, and working structures alongside standard residential and commercial work.
