In the rapidly developing landscape of Fort Myers, where new communities sprout and commercial hubs expand, exceptional site work is the foundational cornerstone for every successful project. From the bustling downtown core to the expansive Gateway district and the coastal fringes, preparing a site properly for construction in Southwest Florida requires an intimate understanding of the unique local conditions. Cougar Companies leverages decades of experience in the region, ensuring that whether it's an infill project near McGregor or a sprawling new development near Fort Myers Shores, your land is perfectly engineered from the ground up to meet project specifications and local environmental demands.

Fort Myers' distinctive environment, characterized by a predominantly sandy soil composition and an inherently high water table, makes expert site work indispensable. Efficient stormwater management is paramount due to heavy seasonal rains and hurricane events, necessitating precise grading and sophisticated drainage solutions. Post-Hurricane Ian, the emphasis on resilient site preparation, ensuring stable foundations and effective water runoff, has become even more critical for all new and redeveloped properties across Lee County.
