Drainage done right in Paulden

We read where the water actually goes, then move it on purpose with graded swales, french drains, drywells, and culverts sized for a real storm. The goal is to carry runoff away from the structure and off the lot without dumping it on the neighbor.

A lot that sheds a monsoon cleanly, keeps water off the foundation, and stops eroding the same spot every summer.

The ground in Paulden

Paulden's flat parcels have nowhere to send monsoon runoff, so we read the fall, cut swales, and set drywells and culverts to move water off the pads and keep it out of the house and barn.

Paulden is rural, open country north of Chino Valley, where the lots are large and hobby farms and horse setups are the norm. People come here for acreage and quiet, and the building tends toward custom homes with barns, shops, and stock on the same parcel.

This is high, flat-to-rolling grassland over decomposed granite, clay, and caliche, with the hardpan a constant problem in the trenching. Ground is dry and open, wells run deep, and the flat parcels do not drain themselves, so grading and water routing have to be built in. Wind and the summer storms both work on exposed, freshly cut ground.

On a Paulden hobby farm the site work has to serve a house, a barn, animals, and often a long drive off the county road, all on your own well and septic. A careful licensed contractor gets the pads and drainage right so a working property does not turn to mud or dust with the first weather.

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.
