Flagler County Soil & Drainage Profile
Flagler County features poorly drained Spodosols across most of the mainland with well-drained sandy soils on elevated ridges and the coastal dune system. Palm Coast's extensive canal network provides artificial drainage for the poorly drained flatwoods soils.
June through September delivers approximately 55% of annual rainfall. Palm Coast averages 52 inches. Nor'easters from September through March can produce 4-8 inches of rainfall with coastal flooding.
Typical Bunnell Drainage Solutions
- Canal-connected drainage systems for Palm Coast residential properties
- New subdivision stormwater systems for the county's rapid growth
- Coastal drainage with nor'easter and hurricane surge protection at Flagler Beach
- French drain systems for lots with seasonal water table flooding
Flagler County Drainage Engineering Notes
Palm Coast — the county's largest community — was originally developed as a planned community with an extensive network of canals for drainage and water management. As the city has grown from a small planned community to a city of nearly 100,000, these canals serve as the primary stormwater conveyance system. Every residential drainage project must connect to this canal network, and the system's capacity is increasingly strained by continued development.
Flagler County is one of Florida's fastest-growing counties, with thousands of vacant lots in Palm Coast's original ITT-planned grid now being built upon after decades of vacancy. Each new home adds impervious surface that increases stormwater runoff into the canal system, requiring careful engineering to prevent cumulative flooding impacts downstream.
