Excavation & Site Work services in Weston
Weston is the westernmost city in Broward County. Its west side is the Everglades levee. It was developed by Arvida as a master-planned community, the first homes went up in 1984 in Country Isles and Windmill Ranch, and it became a city in 1996. Almost everything here stands on engineered fill, with about a square mile and a half of lakes, canals and wetland mitigation areas handling the water. The Indian Trace and Bonaventure development districts run that system, so drainage on one lot is part of a larger design. Nearly every home is inside an HOA with its own review. Excavation in Weston is rarely raw land work. It is pool and addition digs, underground drainage, paver driveway base and utility bores, done to district and HOA standards. Windmill Ranch, with its larger estate lots, is where we see bigger grading jobs.

Permits and local rules
Weston issues residential engineering permits for asphalt and paver driveways, underground drainage, water meters and utility boring. New construction and concrete driveways need a building permit instead. Tree removal falls under the city's tree preservation code and needs its own permit. The city does not list a simple residential excavation or fill permit, so pad, pond or grading work should be confirmed with Engineering before it is scheduled.
