Earthwork and grading operations at a private development site
Private Site & Civil Engineering

Focused civil engineering for private projects.

Private residential roads and driveways, residential grading and drainage, minor commercial site development, and private-site erosion-control services—with experienced navigation of access, stormwater, and related permitting requirements.

Decision-first scoping Engineering effort matched to the project and risk
Focused private-site services Residential roads, grading, drainage, and minor commercial sites
Access & stormwater permitting Requirements, submittals, agency coordination, and responses
Direct PE involvement Experienced judgement from scope through implementation
Connected services

Solve the pieces together.

Eclipse helps homeowners, HOAs, property owners, contractors, and small developers coordinate private access, grading, drainage, permitting, and construction requirements into one workable plan. We help clients identify the applicable access and stormwater requirements, prepare coordinated submittals, and navigate agency review and comment resolution. Municipal services are limited to pavement-condition assessments and roadway-asset or sign inventories; Eclipse does not advertise or accept public roadway design or general municipal civil-design work.

01

Private residential roads & driveways

Private residential road and driveway plans, internal access, parking circulation, grading coordination, and related site details.

02

Residential grading & minor site development

Practical grading, earthwork, drainage, and site circulation for residential properties and minor commercial developments.

03

Drainage & stormwater

Private-site storm drains, culverts, detention, drainage reports, hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, and stormwater permitting.

04

Private-site EPSC design & inspections

Site-specific erosion-prevention and sediment-control plans, construction inspections, documentation, and corrective-action support.

05

Municipal pavement & sign inventories

Pavement-condition assessments, roadway-asset and sign inventories, GIS-ready data, prioritization, and decision-support reporting.

06

Private-site permitting & coordination

Access, driveway, drainage, stormwater, and EPSC permitting for residential and minor commercial sites—from identifying applicable requirements through submittals, agency coordination, comment responses, and plan revisions.

From plan to field

Designed for the real project.

Private-site design should make sense on paper, in the permitting office, and when the contractor has to build it.

Engineers reviewing construction plans on site

Plan with context

Connect field conditions, client priorities, and permitting requirements before details harden.

Earthwork and grading operations at a civil construction site

Shape the site

Balance access, elevations, earthwork, drainage, and constructability.

Drainage and culvert construction

Move water safely

Design drainage around private access, the property, the receiving system, and permit requirements.

Silt fence installed for erosion and sediment control

Protect the site

Pair clear EPSC plans with field documentation and timely corrective action.

Our process

Decision first. Design follows.

We identify the approval and construction decisions first, then match investigation, analysis, documentation, and design effort to what the project actually requires.

01

Define

Confirm the project, constraints, approvals, and deliverables.

02

Investigate

Review field conditions, available data, standards, and risks.

03

Design

Develop coordinated, constructible civil plans and calculations.

04

Coordinate

Work through agencies, partners, comments, and revisions.

05

Support

Help resolve field questions and keep implementation moving.

Engineering team coordinating site plans
Project coordination

Bring the pieces together.

For eligible private residential and minor commercial projects, Eclipse can coordinate the licensed surveyors, geotechnical professionals, utilities, agencies, and contractors the work requires.

Survey base data and property information
Geotechnical recommendations and wall input
Utility and permitting-agency coordination
Construction clarifications and field observations
Who we serve

Right-sized for the client.

The best civil solution fits the client’s decision, resources, approval path, and ability to carry the work through construction.

Homeowners & HOAs

Private residential roads, driveways, grading, drainage, and guidance through access and stormwater permitting.

Small developers & contractors

Minor commercial and residential site plans, access and stormwater approvals, and responsive construction support.

Municipal asset teams

Pavement-condition and sign inventories, GIS-ready records, and decision support—not public roadway or municipal civil design.
