Flagpoles in Scottsdale

Resort, retail and professional Scottsdale, with an old-town core at one end and one of the state's largest employment districts around the airpark at the other. We cover Scottsdale and the Maricopa County area, including Old Town and the Arts District, Scottsdale Fashion Square, the Scottsdale Airpark and Scottsdale Quarter, Taliesin West, the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, Gainey Ranch, McCormick Ranch and the Paradise Valley edge.

Wind here. Scottsdale sits in a design-reviewed desert foothill area, which works out to roughly 100 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. Scottsdale is settled in front of a committee more often than on a calculator. North and east of the Central Arizona Project canal the Environmentally Sensitive Lands overlay governs where a structure may stand on desert and mountain ground and what it may look like. Add the Development Review Board and the associations that run most of the residential city, and height, placement and finish are all agreed with somebody before anything is ordered. The engineering question underneath is exposure. The airpark, the resort approaches and the hillside lots have nothing upwind of them, so those are sized as open ground rather than as sheltered suburban streets. Caliche is under the whole city, and on the foothill lots there is decomposed granite and rock in with it.

Most of the people who call us from Scottsdale are resorts and hotels, medical and dental practices, professional offices in the airpark, galleries and restaurants, private schools, golf and country clubs and gated community entrances.
