HomeServicesConstruction Layout & Staking › Lake in the Hills, IL

Lake in the Hills grew quickly from a small lakeside community into a substantial suburb in southeastern McHenry County. Construction staking marks an approved design in the field so builders can set corners, utilities, roads and grades to plan. Across a community shaped by phased growth, careful layout keeps each project tied to the recorded plat.

Lake in the Hills & McHenry County specifics

Lake in the Hills has roughly 29,000 residents and lies in Algonquin Township, reaching into Grafton 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. On phased sites, grade stakes to the design keep each Lake in the Hills lot and street draining as engineered.
