Expertise in grading plans, drainage plans, and hillside development
Civil Engineering and Grading Plans in Mount Washington, CA
At BW Engineering, we deliver professional civil engineering and grading plan services for residential projects throughout Mount Washington, one of Northeast Los Angeles’s most sought-after hillside neighborhoods. With steep terrain, limited access, and strict city grading ordinances, Mount Washington requires experienced, detail-driven engineering, and that’s where we come in.
We work with homeowners, architects, and developers to bring hillside visions to life; safely, efficiently, and within code.
Hillside Civil Engineering for Mount Washington Projects
Mount Washington’s topography offers sweeping views and unique design potential, but also demands rigorous planning. Our civil engineering in hillside grading and drainage plans that meet City of Los Angeles requirements and integrate seamlessly with architectural intent.
We bring local insight and technical precision to every project, whether you’re building a new hillside home, adding an ADU on a steep lot, or remodeling a property near slope thresholds.
Engineered Grading Plans for Steep and Narrow Lots
In neighborhoods like Mount Washington, grading isn’t just a formality, it’s foundational. We develop precise grading plans that address slope stability, cut-and-fill balance, pad elevation, and driveway access. We work with the city’s Hillside Ordinance, the Baseline Hillside Ordinance (BHO), and LADBS grading standards to ensure full compliance and smooth approvals.
We help you avoid costly surprises and reduce back-and-forth during plan check, all while making your design buildable from day one.
Drainage Plans for Long-Term Protection
Proper drainage design is critical in hillside development. Mount Washington’s steep slopes and shared runoff paths mean poorly managed stormwater can lead to erosion, instability, or property disputes. We engineer drainage systems that control flow, reduce runoff, and protect both your structure and neighboring properties.
Our drainage plans meet all applicable city codes and LID (Low Impact Development) requirements, when required, ensuring long-term performance and peace of mind.
