HomeServicesConstruction Layout & Staking › McHenry, IL

The city of McHenry sits on the Fox River in the county that shares its name, with commercial corridors, residential neighborhoods and waterfront development. Construction staking puts an approved civil design on the ground so contractors can build corners, utilities, drives and grades correctly. Along the river and the Chain O’Lakes, grade and drainage layout carry particular weight.

McHenry & McHenry County specifics

The city of McHenry has roughly 27,000 residents and lies in McHenry Township, reaching into Nunda Township. Its plats and easements record with the McHenry County Recorder in Woodstock, the county seat, and the Fox River with the nearby Chain O’Lakes brings FEMA flood-hazard mapping along the corridor. For commercial and residential sites, staking provides building and lot corners, utility alignments, pavement edges and grade stakes referenced to the recorded plat and to control. That layout keeps foundations and utilities clear of easements and floodway limits. Along the river and lakes, holding the engineered grades keeps a City of McHenry site draining to plan.
