Excavation in Arizona: questions
Which Arizona cities have the most excavation contractors?
Tucson with 78, Phoenix with 69, Glendale with 35, Black Canyon City with 31 and Mesa with 29 lead the Arizona list. In total we cover 89 cities in the state, 572 contractors between them, and every city page can be filtered down to the specific job you need done.
How much does excavation cost in Arizona?
There is no Arizona rate card: contractors quote after seeing access, soil and haul distance. As national reference points, small residential digs commonly land between $1,500 and $5,000, land clearing runs about $1,500 to $5,000 an acre, and a conventional septic install is $5,000 to $15,000. Describe one identical scope to two or three of the 572 Arizona contractors listed here; the quotes that come back beat any published range.
Can one Arizona contractor clear, grade and dig?
75 of the 572 contractors we list in Arizona show three or more earthwork trades, and hiring one of them beats paying two mobilizations. The widest on our records is Adrain's Backhoe & Dump Truck Service in Phoenix, covering 5: excavation, septic systems, demolition and trenching & utilities. Open any city page and stack the job filters to find the firms that cover your whole scope.
Who installs septic systems in Arizona?
32 of the 572 Arizona listings show septic installation. Those are installers, not tank pumpers; we drop pump-only outfits because a new tank, drain field or leach bed is an excavation job. A perc test and a permit come before any digging, so start those early, then filter a city page by "septic systems" to see who does the work near you.
