Professional Excavation and Earthwork Services in Phoenix, AZ
Mass Grading, Trenching, Land Clearing & Site Preparation Across Phoenix & Maricopa County
Building Pads, Trenching & Site Grading
Preparing a site for construction in the Phoenix area takes more than just moving dirt. It requires topographic planning, erosion control, and the right equipment to cut through Arizona's compacted desert soils — whether you're setting up a residential lot or getting a small commercial pad ready for a foundation.
SewerTime runs a full fleet of excavators, bulldozers, and front-end loaders capable of handling lot clearing, building pad preparation, subgrade work, and utility trenching. Our operators work on residential properties and small commercial sites throughout Maricopa County.
Utility Trenching
We trench for sewer lines, water mains, electrical conduit, and structural footings. Our equipment uses laser-guided grade control to maintain consistent depth and slope, keeping your project on spec without costly over-excavation.
Site Prep & Future Utility Compatibility
When a property also requires underground utilities or waste systems, grading decisions made early can affect what disposal options are available later. Heavy equipment working near a future leach field area can compact the soil and reduce its ability to drain — something we actively plan around from the start.
- Engineered Pads: Laser-accurate subgrade preparation for utility mounds or massive concrete foundations.
- Soil Conservation: Strict physical isolation of future disposal fields from heavy machinery tracks to prevent localized compaction.
Full-Service Excavation Across Maricopa County
SewerTime handles site prep, grading, and trenching for homeowners, builders, and small businesses throughout Maricopa County. Whether you're putting in a new driveway, prepping a lot for a home build, or trenching for utilities on a commercial property, our licensed operators have the equipment and experience to get the job done right.
Precision Site Grading and Drainage
Proper grading is the foundation of any successful construction project and the primary defense against Arizona's intense monsoon seasons. Improper grading can lead to significant foundation damage, structural wall failure, and severe property flooding.
Our team handles both mass rough grading for new developments and fine grading to direct water away from your structures. We install swales, PVC drain lines, French drains, and catch basins to keep runoff controlled and your site protected during monsoon season.
Building Pad & Lot Grading
Rough grading for new home construction, ADUs, garages, and small commercial pads — setting proper elevation and drainage slope before the foundation goes in.
Fine Grading
Final grading that directs water away from structures using properly sloped terrain, swales, and drainage channels to protect your foundation.
French Drains & Catch Basins
Installation of subsurface drainage systems including PVC drain lines, French drains, and subterranean catch basins to manage monsoon runoff.
Comprehensive Site Preparation
Before any foundation is poured, the land must be perfectly prepped. Our crews handle every phase of site preparation, from initial clearing through final utility installation, ensuring your project starts on a solid foundation.
