Residential phases around FishHawk
Home building around Lithia comes in whole phases rather than single lots, with a street of pads poured at once and trades following in a tight sequence. A Lithia builder usually wants units spread one per active street, close enough that framing crews are not walking two blocks between houses.
Model centers and sales trailers in Lithia sit at the front of each phase and take their own placement, since visitors should never see a construction unit. We set Lithia sales area units on pavement behind the landscape screen and service them early in the morning.
Mining roads and the reclaimed south
South of Lithia the land belongs to phosphate, with haul roads, settling areas and reclamation projects that run for years. Units on Lithia mining ground sit at gate houses and equipment staging points where the surface is compacted and a service truck will not break through.
Clay under the Lithia workings holds water long after a storm, so a spot that is fine in April can be unusable in August. We check the Lithia approach on each visit and move the unit rather than risk getting a loaded truck stuck.
River parks, springs and outdoor events
Lithia Springs and the Alafia River State Park draw campers, paddlers and mountain bike races through the cooler months. Event organizers in Lithia order banks for the parking areas and trail heads, because the permanent restrooms cannot carry a race weekend crowd.
The Alafia rises fast after a summer storm, and low ground near the Lithia river banks floods with very little warning. We keep Lithia units well up in the paved or gravel lots rather than close to the water where a unit could be cut off.
