What Dykstra Walker Design Group does

Dykstra Walker Design Group is a privately held civil engineering, land surveying, and environmental services firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey. The firm operates three integrated service lines: Engineering & Planning (site plan design, stormwater management, subdivision plans, solar farm engineering, flood hazard area permitting, grading and drainage, and zoning analysis); Surveying (boundary, topographical, ALTA/NSPS land title, construction layout, FEMA LOMA, and wetland mapping); and Environmental Services (Phase I/II site assessments, wetland delineations, NJDEP-certified water testing, threatened and endangered species surveys, permitting, and remediation support). The firm is licensed to operate across New Jersey and New York and is certified as a Small Business Enterprise by the New Jersey Commerce Commission.

The company serves a diversified client base spanning residential and commercial real estate developers, national retail tenants (Home Depot, Lowe's), educational institutions (Sussex County Community College), hospitality operators (Crystal Springs Builders), and municipal/county government agencies (County of Sussex). It generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements priced on a quote basis, with no publicly disclosed standard pricing. Go-to-market is relationship-led and direct — primarily through website inquiries, phone, email, and project referrals — with the firm presenting projects before planning boards and zoning boards of adjustment as part of regulatory approval workflows.

The business is led by five principals — Kenneth D. Dykstra, Marc G. Walker, Thomas F. Graham, Kevin J. Robine, and Mark Gimigliano — each holding PE credentials and collectively bringing 20 to 40+ years of experience. The firm employs between 11 and 50 people and operates with no external institutional investment, parent company, or disclosed acquisitions. Technology deployment is limited to GPS-enabled field surveying, NJDEP-approved delineation methods, and digital survey deliverable formats; no AI/ML, proprietary platforms, or software products are described.
