The ground in Castle Canyon Mesa

We trench your utilities to code depth through the caliche and volcanic rock at the base of the hill, then bed and backfill to protect the line.

Castle Canyon Mesa sits at the west entrance of Prescott Valley, right at the base of Glassford Hill, the extinct volcano that looms over town. It is an affordable, established mix of ranch-style and manufactured homes on larger lots, many with gravel drives and open ground around them. The mesa setting and the hill above it give this ground a character all its own.

Near the base of Glassford Hill the decomposed granite runs over volcanic rock and caliche, and the runoff coming off the hill and the mesa has to be reckoned with. The lots are open and often unimproved, so gravel drives and drainage do real work here rather than being an afterthought. Rock and caliche both show up once you dig below the surface.

Sitting below Glassford Hill, these lots take the water that comes off it, and an owner who ignores where that runoff goes learns the hard way each monsoon. A licensed contractor who grades for the hill above keeps your pad, your drive, and your ground working through the storms.

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.
