Drainage & Stormwater for World Golf Village property owners
Drainage & Stormwater in World Golf Village starts with the property, not with a catalog. Our work spans World Golf Village, from the World Golf Hall of Fame through to International Golf Parkway. In practice that means golf-course homes, gated community properties and lanai and pool enclosures.
The first thing worth understanding about the site is the ground itself. Engineered pads around golf course drainage, where changing a grade affects a shared stormwater system. No natural waterfront — retention lakes and course drainage define what can be added at the rear of a lot. Both of those show up in the estimate long before any finish selection does.
What World Golf Village homeowners run into
In World Golf Village your lot is one cell in an engineered stormwater system, and that constrains the solution more than the problem does. Engineered pads around golf course drainage, where changing a grade affects a shared stormwater system. That means re-grading to push water off your property can put it on a neighbor and breach both the county permit and the covenants. Layered HOA and architectural review approvals ahead of county permitting, with golf-course setback rules on top. The workable fixes are the ones that keep water within your own parcel's allowance and route it to the community system where the plan already expects it.
The second local factor: 1990s-2010s community housing, tightly governed, where outdoor living upgrades are the dominant project type. Any honest estimate for World Golf Village accounts for that before it accounts for finishes.
Permits for that go through St. Johns County Building Services. That gets checked on the first visit, not after plans are paid for.
None of that is exotic. It's just the difference between an estimate written for World Golf Village and one written for anywhere.

What actually drives the cost
We won't quote a number sight unseen. These are the factors that move it, so you can see where your project is likely to land before we ever walk the property.
- Where the water can legally go
- The single biggest variable. A parcel with a ditch, easement or street inlet to discharge into is straightforward. One with nowhere to send water needs retention, and retention is volume, excavation and area.
- Surface versus subsurface
- Regrading and swales cost a fraction of a piped subsurface system. We recommend the cheaper one whenever the site will accept it, which is more often than people expect.

Can I regrade my yard to fix drainage in World Golf Village?
Within limits. Engineered pads around golf course drainage, where changing a grade affects a shared stormwater system. In World Golf Village the lot's grading is part of a community drainage design, so altering it can push water onto a neighbor and violate both the county permit and the covenants. We design fixes that work inside the existing plan rather than against it.
How much does drainage work cost in World Golf Village?
Not without seeing the property, and any contractor who does is guessing. In World Golf Village the biggest single variable is usually the site itself — engineered pads around golf course drainage, where changing a grade affects a shared stormwater system — which changes the scope before anything else does. We'll walk it and give you a real number.
Who pulls the permit for drainage work in World Golf Village?
Almost always. Jurisdiction sits with St. Johns County Building Services. Layered HOA and architectural review approvals ahead of county permitting, with golf-course setback rules on top. That's our responsibility, not yours: applications, comment responses and inspections are all part of the contract.
What's your availability for work in World Golf Village?
Site visits in World Golf Village are typically within a week or so. Start dates hinge on St. Johns County Building Services's review timeline, which we'll tell you honestly up front instead of promising a date we'd have to move.
Do you serve World Golf Village and the surrounding area?
Yes. World Golf Village is inside our regular service area from Keystone Heights, and we work throughout St. Johns County — including St. Johns, Nocatee and Switzerland. Call (352) 478-6112 and we'll come look at the property.
Why does water stand in my yard when it never used to?
Usually something upstream changed — a neighbor built up their pad, a ditch silted in, a culvert collapsed, or your own landscaping slowly reversed the fall. Drainage problems are rarely spontaneous; something redirected the water, and the low spot is just where it now ends up.
Can't I just add topsoil to the low spot?
That moves the puddle rather than removing it. Water has to go somewhere, and filling the place it collects sends it to the next lowest point, sometimes the foundation. Fill only works as part of a plan that gives the water a route out.
