Experience That Shows in the Finish

With 25+ years in construction, site work, and prior general contractor, I focus on grades, drainage, and final surfaces — not just moving dirt.

Accountable, Owner-Operated Work

One point of contact from estimate through completion. The person you speak with is the person doing the work.

Jobsite Cleanup & Site Maintenance

For homeowners, debris removal keeps your property safe, clean, and presentable — while helping protect long-term property value during and after construction.

Laser-Guided Building Pads & Finish Grading.

Laser-guided grading allows for highly accurate sub-grades suitable for gravel, residential house pads, and concrete surfaces.

When grade accuracy matters, laser systems help deliver consistent, repeatable and guaranteed results every time — especially on finish work and pad preparation.

Common Questions Before Getting Started

As a prior luxury custom home contractor and light commercial builder, I bring over 25 years of hands-on experience across multiple phases of construction, including site development, preparation, grading, and finish work. This also includes having personally done all phases of new construction from start to finish, including concrete, framing, drywall, and finish carpentry. That background helps me anticipate downstream needs, avoid rework, and deliver results that align with both residential and commercial project expectations.

Pricing varies based on scope, access, material handling, and finish requirements. Smaller projects may start in the low thousands, while larger or more precise grading work can vary significantly.

I focus on scoping projects correctly upfront so there are no surprises later. I’m not the cheapest option — and that’s intentional. Quality work, clear communication, and proper execution cost less in the long run than fixing mistakes.

I’m based in the Scottsdale area and typically serve Scottsdale, Phoenix, and surrounding communities. For the right project, I’m open to discussing work beyond the immediate area.

If you’re unsure whether your location is a fit, just reach out — I’m happy to talk it through.

Yes. I’m owner-operated, which means the person you speak with is the person performing the work. That direct involvement helps keep communication clear, schedules tight, and quality consistent.

Yes. I work with homeowners, builders, and contractors on residential and light commercial projects, including finish grading and site preparation where accuracy and coordination matter.

Scheduling depends on project scope and current workload. Smaller projects may be scheduled sooner, while larger or more complex work may require additional lead time. I communicate timelines clearly so you can plan accordingly.

Larger crews often rotate operators and prioritize speed. AccuDirt stays intentionally small so the same experienced operator handles planning, grading, and finish work — ensuring accuracy, accountability, and communication from start to finish.
