Manatee County Soil & Drainage Profile
Manatee County features poorly drained Spodosols in lowland areas with some Alfisols (clay-bearing soils) in the eastern agricultural zones. The transition from agricultural to residential land use is changing drainage patterns county-wide.
Lakewood Ranch — one of the nation's best-selling master-planned communities — continues to expand across eastern Manatee County, converting thousands of acres of cattle ranch and agricultural land to residential development. Each phase of development requires integrated stormwater engineering that connects to the overall community drainage network while meeting SWFWMD criteria for water quality treatment and flood protection.
