Erosion Control

What this involves.

Erosion control is about managing both the soil and the water moving across it, because runoff that isn't slowed down carries the ground away. We assess the slope and the flow, then combine the right measures, regrading, retaining elements, ground cover, matting, and plantings, to stabilize the surface and break up the force of the water. Whether you're dealing with a washing hillside, gullies forming after storms, or bare dirt that won't hold, we build a solution that locks the soil in place and stands up to heavy rain instead of washing out the first season.

• Assessing the slope, soil, and how water currently moves across it
• Regrading to spread out runoff instead of letting it channel
• Installing erosion-control matting or blankets on bare slopes
• Setting rock, riprap, or retaining elements to slow and redirect water
• Seeding or sodding with deep-rooting ground cover to bind the soil
• Adding plantings that stabilize banks and absorb runoff
• Checking the area after rain to confirm the soil is holding
