Designing Land for Water Security

Ponds • drainage • storage • practical earthworks
Built for Vancouver Island's rain, summer drought, and real budgets.

Our Approach

Designing land to slow, spread, and store water — building long-term water security from the ground up.

We shape land at scale using swales, ponds, drainage, and integrated storage systems to capture rainfall, reduce runoff, and improve water reliability across rural properties.

Our work prioritizes function first: understanding soil, slope, and water movement so systems perform year-round and get better over time.

How We Build Water Security

1. Understand the ground first
We look at soil, slope, existing drainage, and how water already moves on your property.

2. Design what actually fits
Ponds, swales, drainage, and storage are sized to your land, budget, and how you plan to use the property.

3. Build it once, build it right
Earthworks are done with long-term maintenance in mind — access, overflow, winter rain, and summer drought.

4. Tie systems together
Water harvesting, driveways, and wastewater are coordinated so one project doesn’t create problems for the next.

The result
More reliable water, better ground, and fewer surprises in winter storms or summer drought.

Core Systems

Site Systems That Work Together

Water Harvesting

Ponds, swales, and drainage built to hold winter rain for summer use.
Ground is shaped to slow water down, spread it out, and store what matters.

Earthworks

Driveways, building pads, and access roads are built for drainage, durability, and year-round use.

Septic layout is coordinated with the site so driveways, drainage, and water systems don’t conflict. I work with licensed designers and installers to meet BC requirements and build what’s approved.
