Kurt has expertise in grading, drainage, street and utilities planning, site development and permitting, vineyard development and erosion control, and regulatory permitting and compliance. His deep attention to detail and client needs enables Kurt to provide the design elements needed to ensure a smooth permitting process and a fully satisfying final product. Kurt’s love of the wine country drives him to seek environmentally integrated solutions to various site constraints such as poor drainage or erosive conditions. Through his project experience Kurt has become increasingly attentive to energy efficient approaches to water system design and site management, including methane capture from wastewater systems. Kurt has enabled projects to move forward through lot line and setback concerns without delay. Not afraid of hard work, Kurt gets out on site with his crew to ensure correct, timely and economical installations of his designs.
