Why DB Excavation

Site work builders can
schedule around

Crews and GCs lean on us because the pad comes in to grade, the schedule holds, and the work passes inspection. No surprises on the job site.

01Built to spec, to grade

Pads and grades cut to plan, compacted, and finished so the slab goes down clean and the work passes inspection.

02Local ground knowledge

Decomposed granite, rock shelves, sloped lots, and monsoon runoff. We know how Quad Cities ground behaves and grade for it.

03Equipment for the job

A full fleet of excavators, loaders, and attachments to handle rock, slope, and scale, from a single pad to a full site.

04Licensed, insured, dependable

Fully licensed under AZ ROC #359583 and insured, with realistic schedules and clear communication start to finish.

The ground in Antelope Hills

Fuel loads are lighter out on this open north side, but we still clear ladder fuels and chip back to Firewise spacing so an ember day does not find a path to the house.

Antelope Hills sits up near the Highway 89 and 89A junction on Prescott's north side. It is one of the flatter, more open pockets of ground in the area, but flat and open here does not mean the ground is soft. The lots sit on decomposed granite that shifts to rock shelf without much warning.

Under the DG you hit granite that a homeowner-grade machine will just skate across, and the grades run gentle enough that water does not leave on its own. On ground this flat the drainage has to be built in, because where the water sits and where it moves matters on every pad and drive.

Build a pad that traps water on ground this flat and you are the low spot the whole area drains toward. A licensed contractor who reads the grade and drains the site right keeps that water off your slab instead of under it.

Client Reviews

Prescott's trusted excavation contractor

DB cut and compacted our pad on a rocky lot in Prescott Valley. Dead level and ready for the slab. Professional from the estimate through final cleanup.

Mike R.House pad · Prescott Valley

We use DB for site prep across our builds. Pads come in to grade, they hit the schedule, and the work passes inspection. A reliable partner for our crews.

Dustin K.General contractor · Chino Valley

Our lot wouldn't drain. DB regraded it and installed a drainage system, handled the rock without drama, and stayed on budget. Excellent work.
