Hillside grade and the Fountain Hills hillside ordinance
Building on grade in Fountain Hills means understanding the town's hillside development regulations, where the natural slope falls, and how the home can step with the land rather than carve through it. We pre-walk the lot with the design team, plan the foundation strategy, and design the grading around drainage paths the property already follows.
Getting this right early protects the budget from absorbing tens of thousands of dollars in unexpected retaining and drainage work once the foundation is in.
