Frequently Asked Questions for Excavation Services in Mesa, AZ

Yes, most excavation projects in Mesa require permits.

As a licensed excavation contractor (ROC #325980 & #325982), we handle all permit requirements for your project.

Our team works directly with Mesa city officials to ensure your excavation work is properly permitted and compliant with local regulations.

In Mesa, several essential utilities must be marked before digging begins. Arizona 811 will coordinate marking of:

Cable TV lines
Electric lines
Gas line
Water lines
Sewer lines
Telecommunication cables

Important: Private utility lines like sprinkler systems, pool lines, or backyard gas lines to BBQs require separate private locating services, as these aren’t marked by Arizona 811.

At Lazer Companies, we work with professional utility locators to ensure both public and private lines are identified before starting any excavation project.

Remember: Marks are valid for 15 working days, and if they fade or get damaged, new marking is required before continuing work.

Drainage excavation often fails in Mesa soil due to:

Caliche Concrete-Layer

  • Arizona’s rock-hard caliche (found 6–24″ deep) blocks water flow → Floods pool above it.
  • Lazer Fix: Ground-penetrating radar finds caliche → jackhammer removal + French drains.

Clay Soil Swelling

  • Monsoon rains make clay expand → cracks pipes.
  • Dry spells shrink clay → voids form under trenches.

Storm Overload

  • July–Sept downpours dump 2+ inches/hour → overwhelms drains.
  • Lazer’s Solution: Oversized catch basins + 48-hour permit approvals.

Root & Debris Clogs

  • Mesquite roots invade cracks → blockages in 6–12 months.

How We Prevent Failures:

  • Pre-excavation soil tests (free 24-hour drainage checks).
  • Sloped trenches (1/4″ per foot grade) for caliche zones.
  • Emergency pumps during monsoons → 4-hour flood response.
