Hillside Site Design

The staff at Territorial-Landworks, Inc. is available to provide services for your hillside design project. TLI has the expertise to accomplish all realms of your development project within the difficult constraints of a hillside lot. Many years of experience with site design projects allow our design team to work closely with your architect and determine the most cost effective solution to your development needs. Strong working relationships with many architects in the area allow us to communicate and effectively produce your desired product.

Working with a hillside lot presents the developer with many regulation and compliance issues that must be addressed. TLI’s engineering and planning department has years of experience working with the local jurisdictions as well as becoming familiar with the governing administrative rules and documents. This familiarity allows your project to progress efficiently and avoid common pitfalls. Also, our staff is aware of any permits that may be necessary for your development process and can assist in attaining these.

Drainage is many times a difficult aspect of the hillside site design. TLI has experience designing drainage structures from simplistic to complex. Staff will evaluate your project and determine if adequate drainage can be attained using a simple swale and foundation drain or if it will be necessary to install retaining structures, rain gardens, or dry wells. TLI has the tools available to determine which design will be necessary to assure that your new residential project experiences proper drainage and the life of your building foundation will not be compromised.

TLI has the design expertise to complete your project economically while still attaining the desired appearance. Staff will work closely with your architect to assure that draining and retaining structures are designed not only so they will function adequately but will also fit in to your desired lot appearance. TLI understands how important appearance and functionality are to the development of your residential project.
