Common questions
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.
