Permitting
Environmental permitting is a critical part of many landscape and site development projects. db Design Group specializes in guiding clients through the permitting process for waterfront, wetland, and environmentally sensitive properties throughout New Hampshire and New England.
Whether your project involves a new home, landscape improvements, shoreline access, or site redevelopment, we coordinate the permitting process to help move your project forward while protecting natural resources and meeting regulatory requirements.
