Older Lots Along the Rock River
Byron's older, pre-1878-incorporation lots downtown sit closer to the Rock River -- the same water the Byron Nuclear Generating Station has drawn on for cooling since its reactors came online in 1985 and 1987.
Newer, More Standardized Grading Nearby
The 1980s plant-era subdivisions on the town's edges tend to have newer, more standardized yard grading, a different starting point from the older river-adjacent lots downtown.
Before You Request a Deck Quote
Mention whether your Byron lot is in the older river-adjacent core downtown or one of the 1980s plant-era subdivisions, since footing and drainage planning differs between the two.
