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.
On the ground that burned in 2013, we thin the chaparral and pull the ladder fuels back to Firewise spacing so the house has a real buffer and firefighters have somewhere to stand.
Yarnell sits up on the shoulder of the Weaver Mountains where Highway 89 climbs out of the desert, a granite-boulder area around 4,800 feet with big rock outcrops and chaparral running right up to the lots. This is small-acreage mountain building, cabins and full-time homes set between the boulders, and the ground here has already shown what it can do in a fire.
The rock is the story. Yarnell lots are studded with granite boulders and shallow bedrock, so a pad or a trench often means working around or through stone rather than digging clean dirt. Add steep pitches off the mountain and dense chaparral holding the slopes, and access alone can be the hard part of the job.
The Yarnell Hill Fire made it plain how fast this chaparral carries fire, so clearing and defensible space here are life-safety work, not yard cleanup. Building among boulders on a grade also leaves no room for a pad that settles or a drive that slides, so the site work has to be right the first time.
