Ponds done right in Cornville

We site the pond where the ground and the water make sense, excavate and shape it with the right slopes, key in and seal the basin so it holds, and build the berm and spillway to handle overflow safely.

A shaped, sealed pond or stock tank that holds water, drains its overflow safely, and fits the way you use the land.

Fully licensed under AZ ROC #359583 and insured, with realistic schedules and clear communication start to finish.

The ground in Cornville

Verde Valley clay is a gift for holding water, so we shape and key an irrigation pond or stock tank that seals into the ground and holds for the vineyard or the livestock.

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.

Prescott's trusted excavation contractor

5.0★★★★★on Google

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.

Mike R.House pad · Prescott Valley

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.
