House Pads done right in Cornville
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.

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.
On Cornville's expansive red clay we over-excavate the reactive soil and build the pad back in compacted lifts graded to drain, so the slab does not heave when the clay takes on monsoon water.
Cornville lies in the Verde Valley along Oak Creek, lower and warmer than Prescott, and it sits in the region's wine country. Agriculture still shapes the land here, with vineyards, small farms, and rural home sites spread across the creek bottoms and the terraces above them.
This is Verde Valley ground, red clay and silty creek-bottom soil over basalt and caliche, which behaves nothing like the granite up on the rim. The clay swells and holds water, the caliche fights a trencher, and the low ground near Oak Creek and Spring Creek carries real flow in monsoon season. A pad or a drive here has to account for soil that moves with moisture.
On expansive clay near a live creek, a pad that is not built and drained right will heave, crack a slab, or sit in standing water after a storm. An owner or vineyard here needs a licensed contractor who understands Verde Valley soils, not one who treats it like the high desert.
