Common questions

Do you serve Circle City, AZ?+

Yes. Circle City is one of our core service areas — about 10 minutes from the yard. We're based in Wittmann and run blasting jobs across the NW Valley on our own equipment and trucks.

What does blasting cost in Circle City?+

Every blasting job is different. Rock, access, volume, and haul distance all change the number, and we won't guess it over the phone. Call us at (602) 571-0399 and we'll come walk the site — estimates are free and the number you get is the number you pay.

Is blasting really cheaper than hammering?+

Once the rock is harder than roughly 15,000 psi, a hydraulic breaker slows to a crawl. A properly designed shot fractures the whole volume in one event and the excavator just loads it out. On competent Arizona granite or basalt above about 50 yards, blasting is almost always the cheaper answer.

Do you pull the blasting permit?+

Yes. The contractor pulls the local blasting permit for every shot — homeowners never handle this. We coordinate with the fire marshal and county and set up seismic monitoring when neighbors are close.
