Civil construction in Lee County
Lee County sits on Southwest Florida's Gulf Coast, anchored by Fort Myers (the county seat) and Cape Coral, with fast-growing communities in Estero, Bonita Springs, Lehigh Acres, and Fort Myers Beach. I-75 is the spine of the region, feeding US-41 (Tamiami Trail) and the corridors around Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) and Florida Gulf Coast University in Estero. The county is one of the fastest-growing in the state, with steady demand for new residential subdivisions, commercial pads, and the underground utilities to serve them, plus heavy rebuilding activity along the coast after Hurricane Ian.
Sitework that keeps Fort Myers & Cape Coral on schedule.
Lee County builds on sandy soils with a high water table, so grading, stormwater ponds, and water direction have to be engineered right the first time or pads and roads will not hold. With permitting volume high across the county and the cities of Cape Coral and Fort Myers, developers and GCs need a sitework partner who can self-perform clearing, base, utilities, and paving without waiting on a chain of subs. Keeping crews and crushing in-house means we hold the schedule when the growth pace is pushing every contractor at once.

Civil construction in Lee County, answered.
How do you handle the high water table and stormwater requirements common in Lee County sites?
Most Lee County sites need engineered stormwater ponds and careful water direction because the water table sits close to grade and the sandy soils drain unpredictably. We grade to the civil plans, cut ponds, set retention to meet South Florida Water Management District and local criteria, and build pads up to elevation so they stay dry. Getting drainage right early keeps the rest of the job on schedule.
Can you self-perform underground utilities and paving on the same Lee County project?
Yes. We run land clearing and degrubbing, grading, building pads, sand and lime-rock base, underground utilities including storm, sewer, force mains, water mains, and lift stations, then asphalt milling and overlay, striping, signage, and sod. Keeping it all in-house means fewer handoffs and one crew accountable for the schedule, which matters when Lee County's permit and inspection volume is heavy.
Do you have aggregate available for Lee County jobs, or is that a separate sub?
We run mobile crushing and supply our own aggregate, so we can produce and place base material on site instead of waiting on outside hauls. That keeps lime-rock and sand base moving even when Southwest Florida demand has the pits and trucking backed up. For developers and GCs on a tight pour or paving window, that control protects the timeline.
We work the surrounding counties too.
