Compacted, level house pad cut to grade on a sloped lot near Prescott

House Pads done right in Prescott Valley

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.

The ground in Prescott Valley

On Prescott Valley's flat production lots the battle is not rock but compaction and fall, so we cut and fill to surveyed grade, build the pad in tight lifts, and pitch it so the slab sheds water the flat ground will not.

Prescott Valley is the biggest city in the county now, pushing 48,000 people. The ground drops off Prescott's granite into a broad, more open basin of decomposed granite, gravel, and stretches of clay across the flats between Glassford Hill and Highway 69.

It is gentler ground than Prescott but not the free lunch it looks like. Caliche shows up in the trenching, clay pockets hold water and heave, and the flat lots do not shed water on their own, so drainage and compaction do the work slope used to. Read the clay wrong and it moves under a slab after the fact.

On flat ground like this, a pad that will not hold elevation or a trench that comes up short means water sitting where it should not. A careful, licensed hand gets the pad, the drainage, and the compaction right so you are not fixing it after the first monsoon.

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.

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.
