Excavation in Surprise, AZ.

Excavation in Surprise, Arizona — done by Soards Trucking, family and veteran owned since 1992 and based right here in the NW Valley. Surprise is one of the fastest-growing corners of the Valley. New builds, custom homes, and commercial pads keep us busy on the south side of Grand Avenue. From single-lot foundation cuts to multi-acre commercial excavation, we run the equipment, the operators, and the trucks under one roof. No sub-out, no missed haul days.

What our excavation crew does here

  • Foundation, footing, and basement cuts to spec
  • Pool, spa, and pond excavation on residential lots
  • Bulk earthwork and mass excavation for commercial pads
  • Trenching for utilities, water, and drainage
  • Full haul-off with our own dump trucks — no waiting on outside haulers

Common questions

Do you serve Surprise, AZ?+

Yes. Surprise is one of our core service areas — about 25–30 minutes from the yard. We're based in Wittmann and run excavation jobs across the NW Valley on our own equipment and trucks.

What does excavation cost in Surprise?+

Every excavation 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.

How deep can you dig?+

For typical residential excavation, we routinely cut 8–12 feet with our excavators and can go deeper with shoring or step-cuts. Commercial basements and detention basins we scope on a site walk.

Do you handle the haul-off too?+

Yes — we own the dump trucks. Excavation and hauling stay under one crew, so you don't lose days waiting on outside trucking.
