Fayetteville lies at the base of the Onondaga Escarpment southeast of Syracuse, where Limestone Creek emerges from the plateau through a deeply cut notch. Commercial corridors along Route 5 and Genesee Street run across Honeoye and Lima silt loams on calcareous till and Palmyra gravelly loam on the outwash terraces; higher-elevation parcels transition into Mardin channery silt loam with fragipan.
Limestone Creek's watershed controls drainage in and around the village, and the proximity to Green Lakes State Park imposes additional watershed-protection considerations for any project draining toward the meromictic lakes. Commercial site work in Fayetteville regularly involves shallow Onondaga limestone outcrops, the namesake formation crops out within a few feet of the surface across much of the village, along with trenching through cobbly till on the higher parcels and erosion-control design on the steep cuts along the escarpment face. Sinkhole and karst potential in the limestone terrain occasionally influences utility routing. Stormwater permitting ties into the Onondaga Lake watershed, and projects near Green Lakes must meet additional watershed-protection thresholds.
