When is a lot grading plan required?
Lot grading plans are commonly required for new homes, pool permits, additions, drainage modifications, and certain hard landscaping projects.
Can you help resolve backyard drainage problems?
Yes. We regularly assess drainage concerns and develop engineered solutions to improve runoff management and reduce surface ponding.
What are Low Impact Development (LID) measures?
Low Impact Development measures are stormwater management techniques designed to reduce runoff and improve infiltration using systems such as infiltration trenches, rain gardens, and permeable surfaces.
Can you help with drainage issues after construction?
Yes. We assess existing drainage conditions and develop engineered solutions to help improve stormwater management and reduce ponding concerns.
What is an infiltration trench?
An infiltration trench is a subsurface stone-filled drainage system designed to temporarily store and infiltrate stormwater into native soils.
Do retaining walls require drainage review?
Yes. Retaining walls can impact grading and drainage flow and may require engineering review depending on site conditions and municipal requirements.
