House Pads done right in Forest Trails
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.

A pad in Forest Trails means over-excavating granite and boulder, fitting the cut and fill between the ponderosa, then compacting in lifts so a custom slab sits level on wooded, rocky ground.
Forest Trails runs off Iron Springs Road on Prescott's northwest edge, custom homes set among boulders and ponderosa pines right near the national forest. It is a wooded, rock-strewn pocket where the trees and the granite come first and the house gets fit to what is already on the ground.
The ground is granite based, with boulders and rock outcrop under a cover of pines and their root systems and duff. Slope runs from mild to steep depending on the lot, and the tree cover means every cut has to protect the ponderosa worth keeping. Being this close to the forest, both fire and fast runoff off the sloped, wooded ground are always in the picture.
Building among boulders and pines near the forest, the site work decides whether the finished home sits with the land or fights it, and whether the right trees survive the build. An owner here needs a licensed contractor who can move rock, thread the cut through the pines, and set defensible space that holds up at the forest edge.
