House Pads done right in Castle Canyon Mesa
We cut to the surveyed grade, remove the unsuitable material, then bring the pad up in lifts and compact each one to spec. On rock we rip and shape rather than fight it, and we set the pad so water drains away from the building instead of pooling against it.
A level, compacted pad that holds elevation, passes compaction testing, and is ready for your slab or stem wall on the day you scheduled the pour.

We build your Castle Canyon Mesa pad to surveyed grade on compacted lifts, over-excavate the volcanic rock and caliche below the hill, and drain the finish away from the structure.
Castle Canyon Mesa sits at the west entrance of Prescott Valley, right at the base of Glassford Hill, the extinct volcano that looms over town. It is an affordable, established mix of ranch-style and manufactured homes on larger lots, many with gravel drives and open ground around them. The mesa setting and the hill above it give this ground a character all its own.
Near the base of Glassford Hill the decomposed granite runs over volcanic rock and caliche, and the runoff coming off the hill and the mesa has to be reckoned with. The lots are open and often unimproved, so gravel drives and drainage do real work here rather than being an afterthought. Rock and caliche both show up once you dig below the surface.
Sitting below Glassford Hill, these lots take the water that comes off it, and an owner who ignores where that runoff goes learns the hard way each monsoon. A licensed contractor who grades for the hill above keeps your pad, your drive, and your ground working through the storms.
