House Pads done right in Yavapai Hills
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.

On a Yavapai Hills hillside lot the pad gets cut and filled to a surveyed grade and compacted in lifts, so the home sits level on ground that falls away toward the lot below.
Yavapai Hills spreads across the hills just off Highway 69 on the east side of Prescott. It is one of the more established parts of the east side, and the ground is hill country, up and down more than it is flat. What looks like a gentle slope from the road turns into real grade once you are on the lot.
The ground is rolling granite hillside, decomposed granite over rock with boulders surfacing on the steeper parcels and grade that has to be respected on nearly every lot. Access is good off the 69 corridor, but the slope means pads and drives get cut in rather than laid flat.
On hillside lots this close together, water shed off one pad ends up on the next one down, so grading and drainage have to be done right the first time. A licensed contractor who sets the grade and the runoff correctly keeps you out of a dispute with the neighbor below.
