What We See In Willoughby
Willoughby mixes a walkable downtown of 1920s homes with post-war subdivisions to the east and north. Downtown lots are tight, which means small equipment and careful protection of neighboring driveways. Ground along the Chagrin River is well-drained; the flat subdivisions toward Lost Nation hold water after a heavy rain.
We work across Willoughby including Downtown Willoughby, the Erie Street district, the neighborhoods off SOM Center Road, Lost Nation, the Chagrin River side, Pelton Road. Willoughby runs its own building department. Work in the right-of-way (apron, city sidewalk) needs a Right-of-Way Permit; contractors must be registered and bonded with the city. Willoughby code makes the property owner responsible for keeping the sidewalk in repair. We handle the paperwork.
