Local conditions
Hillsides, suburbs and prairie
Homes on Sumas Mountain, Auguston and Eagle Mountain sit on slopes, so retaining walls, terracing and controlling runoff are the common jobs. Many of these lots were built in the last twenty years with thin topsoil over compacted fill.
Down in Clearbrook and the older central neighbourhoods, the work is more about renewing tired yards: mossy lawns, overgrown hedges and patios that have shifted.
Low-lying prairie areas, including Sumas Prairie, saw serious flooding in November 2021. For these properties, grading and drainage planning come before anything else.
