HomeServicesTopographical Land Surveys › Deerfield, IL

Deerfield combines settled residential neighborhoods with a corporate corridor that sees ongoing reinvestment. Teardowns, additions and commercial redevelopment all begin with knowing how the ground sits, which is where a topographic survey comes in. Accurate elevations and features let the design manage grade changes and runoff before construction.

What a topographic survey shows

A topographic survey maps the elevations, contours and natural and man-made features of a site — grades, structures, utilities, trees and drainage — giving architects and engineers the data they need to design accurately and secure permits.

Deerfield & Lake County specifics

Deerfield is home to roughly 19,000 residents and lies within West Deerfield Township, extending slightly into Cook County. Within Lake County, deeds are filed through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office, and the county seat is Waukegan. The village sits in the Des Plaines River watershed, where the river and its tributaries carry FEMA flood limits on nearby parcels. For additions and rebuilds on Deerfield’s established lots, a topo documents existing grades so new work drains cleanly to a legal outlet.

What Deerfield-area clients say

Frequently asked questions

Order one before design begins on additions, teardowns or regrading, since engineers need accurate elevations to plan the work and its drainage.

It records contours, spot elevations, existing structures and pavement, visible utilities, trees and how surface water drains across the lot.

No; the two answer different questions, and projects near lot lines usually need both types together.
