The ground in The Dells at Prescott

A drive into a Dells lot has to thread the outcrops, so we cut it to a stable line, crown and compact the base, and set culverts where it crosses the drainage between the rock.

The Dells at Prescott sits right next to the Granite Dells. The Dells themselves are some of the most photographed granite in Arizona, giant weathered domes and boulder piles, and building near them means building on their edge. Owners here come for that scenery, which puts a premium on getting the ground right.

This is the hardest granite in the county. Where the Dells run, you find massive intact boulders, rock outcrops, and shallow shelf under a thin skin of decomposed granite, so a building envelope often means working around rock that is not going to move. Drainage threads between the outcrops in ways you have to read on the ground, and the low spots collect monsoon flow fast.

A house set in the Granite Dells only works if the pad, the drive, and the drainage are cut to the rock instead of fighting it. Set a slab over an unseen shelf or ignore where the water runs between the domes, and the fix is expensive and slow, on a lot where every mistake is in plain view.

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.
