Civil Engineering for Land Development in Minnesota.
Land Pro Civil delivers independent civil engineering for developers, architects, and landowners across the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota. Site planning, grading, stormwater, utilities, and permitting, all stamped by a Minnesota-licensed PE.
A Minnesota PE on every project, from feasibility through construction.
Land Pro Civil is a Minnesota-licensed civil engineering firm working with developers, architects, builders, and landowners across the state. We handle the full civil scope of land development projects, from early feasibility studies through stamped construction documents and on-site construction support.
Paul Wallick, PE, founded Land Pro Civil in 2020. He's a University of Minnesota graduate, holds his Professional Engineer license in Minnesota (also Colorado, North Dakota, and Utah), and is the engineer who handles your project from kickoff through stamped plans. There's no project manager layer to filter through.
That structure means senior expertise on every task, without big-firm overhead in the fee.
Civil engineering services we provide across the state.
Every service below is delivered for Minnesota projects, with plans stamped by a MN-licensed PE.
Site Planning & Civil Design
Site layout, road geometry, infrastructure, and access planning for residential subdivisions, commercial sites, industrial campuses, and mixed-use developments across Minnesota.
Grading & Drainage Design
Stamped grading plans and drainage strategies for Minnesota's clay soils, freeze-thaw conditions, and seasonally high water tables. Designed to be built.
Stormwater Management & SWPPP
Detention pond design, infiltration practices, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) compliant with MPCA construction stormwater general permit requirements.
Land Development Permitting
Direct coordination with city, county, watershed district, MPCA, MnDOT, and DNR for the approvals your Minnesota project needs.
Utility Design & Coordination
Water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and dry utility design coordinated with municipal departments and Minnesota utility providers.
Construction Support
RFIs, change orders, observation visits, and as-built coordination to keep your Minnesota project moving from groundbreaking to closeout.
Civil engineering built for Minnesota conditions.
Minnesota land development isn't generic. The combination of cold-climate engineering, MPCA stormwater rules, watershed-district overlay regulations, and a busy permitting calendar through Twin Cities municipalities all shape how a project moves. We design with those realities baked in from the start.
Real Land Pro deliverable: residential grading and drainage construction plan.
-
Freeze-thaw & cold-climate grading
Frost depth, frost heave, and seasonal pavement distress shape how grading and pavement are designed in Minnesota. We design with the freeze-thaw cycle in mind so what gets built holds up.
-
MPCA Construction Stormwater Permit (CSWGP)
We prepare the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and coordinate the MPCA Construction Stormwater General Permit submission, including documentation, BMPs, and inspection schedules.
-
Watershed district coordination
Twin Cities watershed districts add a permitting layer many out-of-state firms miss. We coordinate directly with the local district that has jurisdiction over your site.
-
MnDOT, DNR & municipal review
Cross-agency coordination across MnDOT for state highway access, MN DNR for waters and wetlands, and local city or county engineering departments.
-
Wetland delineation & WCA compliance
Sites with wetland features require coordination under the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act. We integrate wetland constraints into the site plan early so the project moves through approvals without surprises.
-
University of Minnesota engineering education
Paul is a University of Minnesota Civil Engineering graduate. The technical fundamentals of Minnesota land development (clay soils, frost design, stormwater regs) are home-base, not new territory.

One licensed engineer, start to finish, at an independent firm's fee.
MN-licensed PE on every project
Paul Wallick is the Professional Engineer who designs and stamps your Minnesota plans. He designs and stamps it himself, start to finish.
Local jurisdictional knowledge
Familiar with the Twin Cities watershed districts, MPCA stormwater process, MnDOT review, and municipal engineering departments across MN.
Independent-firm fees
Meaningfully more affordable than larger Twin Cities firms for comparable scope. Fixed-fee, retainer, or hourly. Number agreed in writing before work starts.

Common questions about civil engineering in Minnesota.
What civil engineering services do you offer in Minnesota?
Site planning and civil design, grading and drainage design, stormwater management, utility design, land development permitting, and construction support, all for residential subdivisions, commercial sites, industrial campuses, mixed-use developments, and ground-mounted solar projects across Minnesota.
What parts of Minnesota do you serve?
We serve the entire Twin Cities metro (Minneapolis, St. Paul, and surrounding municipalities including Brooklyn Park, Chaska, Elk River, Mayer, and Buffalo) plus Greater Minnesota. If your site is in Minnesota, we can help.
Are you licensed in Minnesota?
Yes. Land Pro Civil is led by Paul Wallick, PE, a Professional Engineer licensed in Minnesota (also CO, ND, UT). Every plan we deliver in Minnesota is stamped by a licensed PE.
Do you handle MPCA stormwater permitting and SWPPPs?
Yes. We coordinate Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Construction Stormwater General Permit submittals, develop site-specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs), and design stormwater systems that satisfy local and state requirements across the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota.
How are your fees compared to larger Minnesota engineering firms?
You pay for a licensed PE's time on your project, not a project manager layer or partner-rate review. Fees are fixed in writing before work starts.
Do you work directly with watershed districts?
Yes. Twin Cities watershed districts add a permitting layer that many firms underestimate. We coordinate directly with the local watershed district that has jurisdiction over your site, including stormwater, erosion control, and floodplain reviews.
How quickly can you start a new Minnesota project?
Most new inquiries get a response within one business day, and we typically schedule a project call within a few days. For active engagements, we match the pace your construction or permitting schedule requires.
