Instead of traditional concrete sidewalks, paths in the Ascaya luxury home development are surfaced with rock sourced and crushed on site and affixed with stabilizing agents giving walkways a more natural feel. Infrastructure for Ascaya, carved into the McCullough Mountain range in Henderson, Nevada, was completed with materials mined from the site.

Kershaw Canyon, south of Caliente, Nevada. Kershaw–Ryan State Park is a state park situated in a canyon that was homesteaded in 1873. Located just south of the town of Caliente on Nevada State Route 317, it is in the Eastern Nevada Region of Nevada State Parks. The canyon was settled in 1873 by Samuel and Hannah Kershaw, who operated a ranch called the Meadow Valley Wash Ranch. In 1904, they sold the property to rancher James Ryan, who donated the land to the state in 1926 to be a public park. The Civilian Conservation Corps developed visitor amenities in 1934, and Kershaw–Ryan State Park was officially established the following year.
