Rock Blasting in Wickenburg, AZ.

Rock Blasting in Wickenburg, Arizona — done by Soards Trucking, family and veteran owned since 1992 and based right here in the NW Valley. Wickenburg jobs live and die on how you read the ground. We've been running dirt and rock in Arizona since 1992, and our licensed blaster is on our own crew, not a sub. Controlled rock blasting on commercial and large-volume rock removal — pads, roadways, and site development where a breaker simply can't keep up. Blasting is a strictly regulated operation, and our licensed blaster, Daniel Soards, runs every shot in house.

What our blasting crew does here

  • CR-15 licensed blasting under ROC #230099
  • Licensed blaster on our own crew — not a sub
  • Commercial pad, roadway, and site-development rock removal
  • Large-volume rock where hydraulic hammering stalls out

Wickenburg at a glance

  • Drive time from our yard: about 25 minutes up US-60 from the yard.
  • Jurisdiction: Town of Wickenburg + unincorporated Maricopa County.
  • Terrain notes: Wickenburg throws everything at you — Hassayampa river bottom and sand down low, then decomposed granite, caliche, and hard granite as you climb into the ranch country. It's the widest range of ground we work in, and the one place where the rock is heavy enough that our CR-15 blasting license earns its keep on the right job.
  • Typical blasting work in Wickenburg: ranch and horse-property pad prep, well-pad excavation, hard-rock removal, off-grid septic, and long driveway grading through washes.

Common questions

Do you serve Wickenburg, AZ?+

Yes. Wickenburg is one of our core service areas — about 25 minutes up US-60 from the yard. We're based in Wittmann, we work anywhere inside about 50 miles of the yard with no mobilization fee, and we run blasting jobs on our own equipment and trucks.

What does blasting cost in Wickenburg?+

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 always cheaper than hard-dig excavation?+

No, and we'll tell you when it isn't. Blasting is a strictly regulated operation and the cost can exceed hard-dig excavation very quickly on smaller volumes. It pays off on large, competent rock where a breaker would take weeks. We look at the volume and give you the honest answer before you spend anything.

Do you pull the blasting permit?+

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