Rock Blasting in Wittmann, AZ.

Rock Blasting in Wittmann, Arizona — done by Soards Trucking, family and veteran owned since 1992 and based right here in the NW Valley. Wittmann is home. Our yard, our trucks, and our shop are all here — which means faster response, lower mobilization, and a crew that knows every wash and every dirt road in the area. 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
  • Permitting, neighbor notification, and seismic monitoring handled by us

Wittmann at a glance

  • Drive time from our yard: 0 minutes — Wittmann is our yard.
  • Jurisdiction: unincorporated Maricopa County.
  • Terrain notes: The ground we see most in Wittmann is sand and river-bottom material — washes and old flow paths running through big desert lots. It digs easy compared to the rock country north of here, but sandy ground moves, so trench work, septic, and pad prep all have to be built with that in mind.
  • Typical blasting work in Wittmann: acreage prep, off-grid septic, ranch driveways, well-pad excavation, arena grading, and dirt haul-off.

Common questions

Do you serve Wittmann, AZ?+

Yes. Wittmann is one of our core service areas — 0 minutes — Wittmann is our 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 Wittmann?+

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.
