Cary sits near the Fox River in southeastern McHenry County, with residential neighborhoods and commercial areas in a wooded, rolling setting. Construction staking marks an approved plan in the field so builders can set corners, utilities, drives and grades to plan. On sloping, tree-lined sites, precise grade layout keeps drainage aligned with the engineering.

What construction staking provides

Construction staking transfers the approved design to the ground — marking building corners, utilities, roads and grades so contractors build exactly where the plans intend. Accurate layout prevents costly rework and keeps projects on schedule.

Cary & McHenry County specifics

Cary has roughly 18,000 residents and lies in Algonquin Township, reaching into Nunda Township. Its plats and easements record with the McHenry County Recorder in Woodstock, the county seat, and its drainage sits within the Fox River watershed where the county’s FEMA flood-hazard mapping applies. For residential and commercial 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 within the approved envelope and clear of easements. Grade staking to the design elevations helps each site drain on rolling terrain.
