Island Lake is a residential community set around water on the Lake and McHenry county line, with neighborhoods that reflect its lakeside setting. Construction staking marks an approved plan in the field, giving crews the corners, utilities, and grades to build against. For an Island Lake project, accurate layout keeps the work consistent with the engineered design.
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.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Island Lake has a population of about 8,051, sits in Wauconda Township, and extends into McHenry County, with the Lake County portion seated at Waukegan. Recorded plats and easements for the Lake County portion are filed with the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office, and staking crews review them before laying out a site. Local demand blends additions and rebuilds on established and lakeside lots with occasional commercial or newer subdivision work requiring utilities and grading. Island Lake sits in the Fox River drainage, and with FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas along nearby waters, a staking crew checks grades carefully near those reaches.
For the Lake County portion, plats and easements are filed with the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office; the McHenry County portion is handled by McHenry County.
