A detailed site plan, drawn to
scale will help foresee design and construction challenges and provide
an accurate reference for estimating.
Lot Lines
Your city hall will have a copy
of your lot survey on file. The survey will not only identify property
lines, but will be an accurate scaled template to help you with your
site plan.
Utilities
Burried utility lines are not
only dangerous, they may prevent you from locating your landscape
project where you want. Call the local utility companies and have these
lines located.
Neighbors
It's always nice (and smart too) to let your neighbors know about your project before you begin.
Permits
Building permits may be required if the wall is above a certain height. Check to see what the local code requires.
