Civil construction in St. Johns County
St. Johns County sits in Northeast Florida between Jacksonville and the coast, anchored by St. Augustine and the affluent Ponte Vedra Beach area along the Atlantic. I-95 runs north-south through the county and feeds US-1 and SR-9B/I-295 connections into the Jacksonville metro, while SR-16, SR-207, and County Road 210 carry heavy development traffic out to the interior. The county has been one of the fastest-growing in the entire country for years, with master-planned communities like Nocatee and World Golf Village driving relentless residential, commercial, and infrastructure demand.
Sitework that keeps St. Augustine & Ponte Vedra on schedule.
St. Johns County's growth pace means developers and GCs are racing entitlements and presale deadlines, so every week a site sits unworked is lost revenue. Northeast Florida sitework here deals with sandy soils, a high water table near the coast and the St. Johns River basin, and strict stormwater pond and retention requirements tied to St. Johns River Water Management District permitting. Keeping clearing, grading, utilities, and base work under one in-house crew avoids the handoff gaps that stall pad delivery and keeps you ahead of inspection and CO timelines.

Civil construction in St. Johns County, answered.
Do you handle the stormwater ponds and retention St. Johns County projects require?
Yes. Nearly every site plan in St. Johns County is tied to St. Johns River Water Management District and county stormwater rules, so we build the retention ponds, swales, and water direction into the grading scope. We excavate ponds, shape banks, set control structures, and tie the storm system together so drainage passes inspection the first time.
How do you deal with the sandy soil and high water table in coastal and Ponte Vedra-area sites?
Coastal and river-basin sites in St. Johns County often have a high water table and loose sandy soils that won't carry load on their own. We dewater where needed, undercut and replace poor material, and bring in sand and lime-rock base compacted to spec to build stable pads. Getting the subgrade right up front is what keeps your vertical schedule from slipping.
Can you self-perform clearing through utilities so a subdivision keeps moving?
That's the point of running everything in-house. On a St. Johns County subdivision we clear and degrub, mass-grade, install the underground storm, sewer, force main, and water mains including lift stations, then set base and pads in one continuous sequence. One crew, one schedule, no waiting on a separate sub to show up between phases.
We work the surrounding counties too.
