Similar to the high-end custom home sites in Kayenta, portions of the Entrada Projects, and other high-end residential custom home developments throughout the St George area, Red Deserts Lots are "shovel ready”. The Lots have been rough graded and compacted for storm water control in accordance with its Geotechnical Report and Ivins City regulations. Shovel ready lots require additional grading, excavation and compaction, and other associated earthwork based entirely upon each Lot Owners unique "to be determined" custom home design.
The considerations that determine the quantity of earthwork include, but are not limited to-
i) the overall shape and size of the home footprint,
ii) the home footprint location within the boundaries of the building envelope,
iii) the relative finish floor elevation(s) of the main, garage, and basement floors,
iv) the depth(s) and footprint of any whole or partial basement(s),
v) the shape, size, and depth(s) of any swimming pool(s) located within the lot boundaries,
vi) the footing elevations of courtyard and privacy walls, and
vii) the desired sidewalk, courtyard, patio, and driveway finish elevations.
In essence, the particular one-of-a-kind design elements of each Lot Owners individualized custom home design determines the necessary finish earthwork to be undertaken as a part of the Lot Owners home construction. The transformation by the Lot Owner of the existing rough grade elevation into the final finish grade elevation(s) improves the lot from "shovel ready" to "pad ready". Red Desert's Geotechnical Report is available for review upon request.
