"When you move from another state and do not know any contractors, Its difficult to find a reliable and honest contractor. I interview 4-5 contractors and went with my gut feeling and hired HRS and Sons. (I STRUCK GOLD) as they say. Hiew was honest, his prices were good and he even recommended things that should be done that i didnâ t think about. They did a complete interior remodel. They even did some extra work and didnâ t charge me. I would give this company a 5 star rating."

"I can’t say enough god things about McQuality Roofing. From the moment I reached out, their team was responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. It helped to make me feel confident in my decisions. They were on time and cleaned up all the mess. The workmanship is outstanding. My new roof looks fantastic! What stood out to me was their commitment to customer satisfaction. They followed up after the job was completed to make sure everything was perfect. If you’re looking for a roofing company that combines expertise, integrity, and excellent service—you NEED to call McQuality Roofing. I highly recommend this company."

"Very Well. We can’t say enough about H-Bros excavating! When we approached Marcus to come bid on our job. We were impressed. He seemed to know what he was talking about and told us we would need a D6 or D8 cat to rip all the rocks from the area we wanted flattened. He said he could probably get it done with a D6 and quoted it for that. He ended up bringing a D8 which worked out great since it could rip the rocks a lot faster. To our delight we got done 2 days early. Marcus and team started the job on schedule, were on time each day and worked hard and long hours. They were very professional and very personable. They wanted to make sure that they did the job exactly how we wanted it done. Customer satisfaction was very important to them. They went above and beyond our expectations and we are extremely happy with their services and would recommend them to anyone! They were a pleasure to work with and very honest. Do not hesitate to call them for your excavating needs! They may be a newer company but they are worth it!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Prescott, AZ

Depth depends on the type of installation and the regulations in your area. Water supply lines typically require 24 inches, while drainage pipes are often installed 36 inches below grade. For most general projects, a depth of 12 to 24 inches and a width of about eight inches is sufficient. Sticking to these specs keeps your utilities safe, code-compliant, and easier to maintain later.

When you need to run utilities underground, you’ve got two main options: boring or trenching. Boring employs directional drilling to install utilities without exposing a continuous channel, while trenching requires excavating an open channel to place utilities securely. Directional drilling preserves landscape integrity, whereas trenching provides direct access for installation, albeit with greater surface disruption. This clear comparison helps you select the method best suited to your project.

Plan on 12 hours to dig 100 linear feet when the soil is cooperative and you can work continuously. This timeframe applies when work is performed consistently and methodically. Factors such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and frozen ground increase the overall duration, demanding extra planning and effort. Comprehensive operational planning ensures that every challenge is managed efficiently and the project is completed on schedule.

If you want your yard to look untouched, laying fresh sod over the trench is the quickest fix. New sod needs 30 to 45 days to root and blend with the rest of your lawn. A local sod pro can provide you with a firm timeline and tips to ensure the grass takes hold and maintains your curb appeal.
