Built on Hard Work,
Rooted in Arizona.
Founded by a USMC veteran and 30-year real estate development professional, Anvil Excavation was built on a simple promise: show up, do the job right, and treat every customer with respect.
Our Story
Anvil Excavation was founded in 2025 by David Chace — an Urban & Regional Planner, USMC veteran, and serial entrepreneur with a 30-year career building real estate consulting, construction, and development businesses in Texas. After relocating to Arizona and experiencing firsthand the lack of professionalism in the local contractor market, David brought his proven approach — and his company Texas Excavation Solutions — to Phoenix under the Anvil name.
Educated as a planner and forged as a Marine, David built Anvil on the same principles that defined his career: show up on time, deliver top-shelf craftsmanship, and price it fairly. A proud supporter of the military community, David actively employs veterans and their families. Every project — from a backyard pool dig in Paradise Valley to a full site prep in Scottsdale — gets his personal standard of care. His word is his bond, and that shows in every job.
