Acreage Planning & Design in
Lac Ste. Anne County
Most acreage problems don’t start with equipment — they start with layout.
Lac Ste. Anne County includes lake properties, rolling terrain, low-lying clay areas, and rural access roads that require careful elevation planning. Without proper site design, water will move toward foundations, septic fields can oversaturate, and driveways will fail.
We provide:
• Site layout and building positioning
• Elevation and slope planning
• Drainage flow design
• Septic field placement planning
• Access and driveway alignment
• Subdivision and acreage expansion planning
We use survey-grade layout methods to ensure elevations are controlled accurately before dirt is moved. Planning first reduces long-term risk and eliminates costly rework.

Septic systems in Lac Ste. Anne County must be designed for soil conditions and water management — especially on properties near lakes or low-lying areas.
Undersized fields or improper elevations can lead to system failure within a few years. When a septic field becomes oversaturated, there is often no simple fix.
We assist with:
• Septic system planning and layout
• Tank excavation and installation
• Mound systems
• Replacement systems
• Elevation control for proper drainage
• Coordination with permitting and inspections
You’re not buying a septic system.
You’re buying peace of mind.
A properly planned and installed system should perform for decades — not five years.
