"I hired Alpha Construction Services to grade my driveway and install gravel. Todd and his crew did a great job! They even hauled away all the yard debris (companies in the past did NOT do this for my other home projects). I am extremely happy about this teams hard work and attention to detail. I would hire and recommend them to everyone! Great price point and strong communication skills."

"We hired this company to excavate our empty lot in Laveen to install empty conduits and properly grade the property. They did an excellent job from start to finish. The crew was professional, punctual, and very knowledgeable about the excavation process. They completed the trenching for the conduits efficiently and made sure everything was placed correctly. The grading was done with great attention to detail, leaving the property level and ready for the next phase of construction. Communication was clear throughout the project, and they kept the job site clean and organized. I truly appreciate their hard work and would highly recommend them to anyone needing excavation or grading services."

"I was a little taken back by the price quote as it was higher than what I was anticipating or planning to spend. However, from the very start of the project to the very end, I truly felt I got my money's worth. We were initially scheduled 10 weeks out, but received a call a week after the quote that a time slot opened up and they could start the next day. This was great! A supervisor, Luke, arrived with a crew of three to go over plan, introduce the crew. Armondo, foreman of the crew of two went right to work, delivering and spreading rock, making river beds. Armondo included us when deciding landscape ideas, and he had excellent ideas and advice. They all worked very fast and professionally, very polite and conscientious with everything they did. I am most impressed and happy with everything they did. We had 35,000 tons of rock spread over 7,000 sq feet and river runs with river rock. They cleaned up after each day and it took two days. We received phone calls from the office every step of the way informing us of times and what would be happening."

"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!"

"I hired Nick after another excavator no call no showed. Nick was able to step in and get me on his schedule in a few days. Communication between Nick and my GC was excellent. Rough grade on the site, trenching for foundation and sewer lines. Everything was done on time and on plan. No hesitation to recommend his service."

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Scottsdale, AZ

The time required to dig a 100-foot trench varies significantly depending on soil conditions and the type of equipment used. Most residential projects using walk-behind trenchers take between two and four hours for this length. Soft soil allows for faster progress, while rocky or clay-heavy ground requires more time. If you're new to operating trenching equipment, allow for additional time to learn the controls and work at a comfortable pace.

Standard trenches measure between 12 and 24 inches deep and approximately eight inches wide, which is within the capability of most walk-behind trenchers. The exact depth capacity varies by model and manufacturer. For specialized projects, such as French drain installation, an 18-inch depth is standard. Always confirm the specific depth capabilities of your rental equipment before beginning your project.

While formal certification isn't always required, basic training is highly recommended before operating trenching equipment. Most rental companies provide operational instructions and safety guidelines when you pick up the equipment. If you're uncomfortable with heavy machinery or have a particularly challenging site, consider hiring professionals. For those proceeding with DIY trenching, start slowly and practice in an open area before tackling your actual project.

For typical residential irrigation systems, a walk-behind trencher is generally sufficient. These systems require trenches between six and 12 inches deep, depending on your local frost line and system specifications. The narrow trenches produced by walk-behind models are ideal for installing standard irrigation pipes. For larger properties or particularly challenging soil conditions, consider a more powerful model.

Contact your local utility marking service before any digging project to identify underground hazards. Remove obstacles, rocks, and lawn furniture from your work area and planned trench path. Mark your intended trench line using stakes or marking paint to ensure straight, properly aligned trenches. Having a plan for soil disposal and eventual backfilling will also streamline your project and minimize rental time.

First-time operators often encounter issues with blade clogging in wet or clay-heavy soil. Hitting unmarked underground utilities can cause service disruptions and create safety hazards. Many DIYers underestimate project timelines, resulting in rushed work or additional rental days. Trench wall collapse can occur in unstable soil conditions. Following manufacturer guidelines, maintaining appropriate speeds, and thoroughly preparing your site can help avoid these common complications.
