Subdivision & Land Development
Staying Power: Yerkes Associates, Inc. has been leading the way since 1874 in Civil Engineering and Land Surveying services. Subdivision and Land Development is the totality of such services.
Our staff of engineers, architects, designers, planners, and surveyors handles projects from conception to completion with proven capability of performing in a working team environment with sound interpersonal skills.
Property History: There simply aren’t many property deeds in Chester County and surrounding area where Yerkes did not provide the initial survey. Thus, subdivision and/or land development of that property allows us the advantage of offering the history of; any uniqueness the property may possess.
Intimate Knowledge of a Municipal Engineer’s Perspective: Our staff is widely diversified with licensed engineers who work with both private clients and Municipalities. This diverse perspective contributes to a more practical approach to the site design, sometimes even accelerating the approval process.
It is our policy to try and conduct a meeting with the Municipal Engineer “before” detailed design is started to proactively seek insights of any pending ordinance changes, or preferences in design methodology.

Landscape Architecture
Landscape architecture provides a design approach for the development of the physical environment. Economic considerations must be considered with land use planning; however, physical appearance is also important. The landscape architectural discipline provides for aesthetic land use planning. Specifically, landscape architectural principles govern the arrangement of lands proposed for development. These principles create completed projects which are safe and environmentally conscious. The cooperative endeavor of competent site engineering with landscape architectural design provides a finished product featuring both aesthetic and functional qualities.
