Grading for Cabin Site

Since we are building slab on grade, the cabin site had to built up a bit to create a flat building site. A few loads of clean red dirt fill were brought in and graded and compacted to perfection. Since the winter was so mild this year, we were able to get the building site ready for construction a lot sooner than we thought. We now have all the infrastructure in and building site ready for the foundation.

Culvert on Castle Valley Drive

In compliance with the Castle Valley Culvert Ordinance, we had a two foot wide culvert put in at the driveway entrance from Castle Valley Drive. Water drainage is an issue in the valley, as the water sheets off of the rim and down the side roads. Keeping the water in the drainage ditches is challenging. Hopefully this nice culvert will keep the water moving down the valley. I love the rocks around the culvert which provide protection and aesthetic benefits.
