Great place wonderful people always professional and on time couldn't ask for anyone better

These guys Rock! Great communication, accuracy, and timeliness!

We are from Oklahoma and travel the country pouring concrete! Desert Sky Excavating met all our needs and then some! I would highly recommend them!

Ryan and his crew were amazing to work with. They excavated a pool and sport court for my property. The company is timely, honest, and hard-working. The best excavation team in Tucson!

It was a pleasure dealing with Desert Sky. We had bit of a hard dig for our pool but the guys were excellent. They were on time, professional, and worked very hard to get the job done. They answered our questions, explained what they were doing and cleaned up when they were finished. I highly recommend them.
Thank you Dan, Jesus, Chris and Charlie👍

I am a subcontractor that was hired by Desert Sky Excavating to perform some hydroseeding for mitigation around a newly constructed home. Ryan contacted me and thoroughly explained the nature of the site and the challenges we would encounter. I appreciated Ryan’s honesty by being up front about the project. More times than not, these details are not shared. Everyone I spoke with at Desert Sky Excavating was courteous, and helpful in getting this job scheduled and completed with no problems. Ryan met me on site when it was time to hydroseed and introduced me to the home owner so I could be shown the exact areas to seed. The payment by Desert Sky was prompt, and without delay. During the whole process from the initial call by Ryan to the completion of the job I could tell that this company is top quality and places the highest value on their clients as well as their subcontractors. I highly recommend Desert Sky Excavating to anyone looking for a locally owned full service excavation, site improvement, and utility contractor.

We hired Desert Sky Excavating to do a residential project for us and it was completed quickly, they were very clean, up front and honest about the process and very reasonably priced. Nothing but good to say and we'll certainly recommend them highly in the future. Great job guys and thanks.

I had a water main break under the driveway. Based on a recommendation, i contacted Ryan at Desert Sky. He was extremely helpful and a pleasure to work with! They showed up before the scheduled time and quickly trenched the line. Pricing was great. The workers were professional, pleasant, and efficient. I think can't recommend them enough and plan on using them again for some back yard work!

I contracted Desert Sky to dig my swimming pool. Their bid was was better than others and they were able to get it done promptly. The crew was professional and very friendly. The dig was excellent which made the job of the contractors following them that much easier. Months after the dig and the pool was finished they were very helpful bringing some dirt back in so i could do final grading/landscaping. Would highly recommend.

Brandyn Russell/Desert Sky Excavating is one of the best contractors I’ve ever engaged with. He is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and he took the time to be on site during Layout when he didn’t have to, including helping! He was patient, kind, answered all of our questions, and offered a competitive price. The four wonderful folks who did our dig were extremely high quality, and did an amazing job!!

By far the best in the business - I have worked with Ryan and James on over 1000+ homes and they have always done a superior job. If you need dirt work, utilities, pool dug, etc. these are the guys to use.

I recently had Desert Sky at my home to excavate my pool, spa, and trenching for utilities. They were in and out in two days and did a fantastic job. Ryan was great to work with in getting estimates, scheduling, and all that goes with excavating for my pool. They were easy to schedule and very responsive. Brandyn was awesome to work with. He was very informative, full of knowledge and willing to help me understand the process. I asked a lot of questions and they were there to answer them. I will recommend them to anyone seeking this scope of work.

We have contracted with Desert Sky Excavating (DSE) on two projects - swimming pool infill including cool deck demolition and removing an asphalt driveway and replacing it with concrete. The DSE team listened to our ideas for the projects. They offered alternatives based on their many years of demolition and landscaping experience. Work with the concrete contractor was well-coordinated. Crews cleaned up daily and wrapped up the projects completely. The whole DSE team including owner, project manager, field foreman and crews were always pleasant to work with and treated our projects as if they were working at their own homes.

Desert Sky Excavating performed lot and pad prep for my business. I strongly advise against hiring this company. Their work was substandard/not to plan, their management is indifferent, their workers try to cut every corner possible.

I did not hire this company, and after my experience, I never would.

One of their employees, while operating a company vehicle (a Ford F-350), struck my car on a private one-way road near a school. The impact was to the rear driver-side panel of my vehicle — a clear indicator of fault — and resulted in over $5,000 in damage. Their vehicle had only a minor fender scratch.

Instead of accepting responsibility, the company misrepresented the situation to their insurance provider and refused to take accountability. Their insurer subsequently denied my claim — not because the facts support them, but because the company was unwilling to stand behind its actions.

In my view, this shows a serious lack of integrity and professionalism. If this is how they handle public incidents, I would be very concerned about how they conduct business.

I urge others to consider this when choosing a contractor. Accountability matters.
