Stages 1-3 and 5 of the LID construction process are fundamentally similar for all '''surface-level LID''' types (bioretention, bioswales, enhanced grass swales, permeable pavements, infiltration chambers, infiltration trenches, soakaways, etc.). To illustrate, STEP's recommended processes for excavation do not differ depending on the practice type. Excavation is excavation, whether it is for a bioretention garden or a permeable paver parking lot. On the other hand, stage 4 sub-tasks will vary substantially from practice to practice, as do some sub-tasks in stage 3. The following section gives a brief explanation of each over-arching stage and links to the pages dedicated to each construction stage.

Excavation and grading are necessary for installing LID practices with sub-surface components, re-grading land to hold more water, and re-routing overland flow routes into an LID practice. The excavation and grading page gives guidance on:
