MHG MHG is located in Montgomery Village, Maryland. Our philosophy is to provide our clients with superior service at a reasonable cost.

Since its establishment in October 1978, the firm has built a solid reputation for providing professional civil engineering, surveying, land planning and landscape architecture services to both public and private sector clients. MHG has had continuous but controlled growth since its founding and now employs 40 people, covering all aspects of Civil Engineering, Land Planning, Land Surveying, Landsc

ape Architecture and Environmental Engineering. The firm is highly qualified and experienced in all areas of land development. Using our in-house expertise, MHG can take a project from initial site surveys and feasibility studies, through master planning, detailed design and permit processing, to the completion of construction stakeout, construction inspections, preparation of as-built plans and final surveys. The continuous involvement of the principals of the firm with each of the projects ensures that even the most complex projects will move through the design and permit process in an efficient manner. Our staff maintains a very comfortable working relationship with all the local, county and state agencies, and we have been recognized by others within the industry for our very good reputation. The firm realizes that continued growth and viability are highly dependent upon prompt and timely performance. To this end, the firm places a very high priority to providing not only competent services but also compliance to the scheduling demands of the client. The staff of MHG has been carefully selected for their level of expertise, their overall experience in land development, and their ability to promote and maintain positive and open communication with our clients, with the public agencies, and with other members of the design team. The firm is broken down into departments specializing in different aspects of design, such as storm drainage, stormwater management, planning, grading, surveying, landscape architecture, etc. Before any final design leaves the office it is reviewed by the Department Head, the Project Manager and the Principal in Charge. This method of quality control has proven to be very successful for MHG. Whenever a difficult design or permitting problem is encountered a team of principals and senior staff members assemble promptly to determine the most appropriate solution. Drawing on this pool of knowledge and experience provides cost effective responses for our clients and our assurance that the service provided by MHG is the best available.

🚫 2025 Water Table Testing Season Remains CLOSED 🚫

The Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services (DPS), Well and Septic Section, is continuing to monitor groundwater levels for the 2025 wet season. As of now, water table levels remain too low to allow for water table or restricted soils testing.

Despite recent rainfall, groundwater recharge has been insufficient, and Montgomery County remains under a D1 category (Moderate Drought) as classified by the U.S. Drought Monitor. As a result, the 2025 wet season remains closed.

If conditions improve and groundwater levels reach appropriate seasonal highs later in the year, DPS may open a limited wet season. Applicants will be notified by email and the DPS website will be updated accordingly.

Please note:

Any soil testing fees paid in 2025 will carry over to the next calendar year if testing is not possible this season.

Percolation and sand mound testing cannot proceed without sufficient water table data, as required by County regulations.

For more information, please contact Stephen Crum at 301-670-0840 (office) or 301-717-5983 (cell), or visit the Montgomery County website at www.montgomerycountymd.gov.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we continue to monitor environmental conditions.
