Our Erosion & Sedimentation Services

We provide complete stormwater management and erosion control solutions, including:

  • Stormwater Ponds – Design and installation of retention and detention ponds that safely capture, store, and release stormwater runoff.
  • Swales – Graded ditches or vegetated channels that control runoff and direct water away from structures, roadways, or sensitive areas.
  • Stormwater Culverts – Proper installation of culverts to maintain natural water flow under driveways, roads, and access points.
  • Stormwater Piping Systems – Underground piping designed to move water efficiently and prevent flooding or erosion damage.
  • Erosion Control Measures – Installation of silt fencing, check dams, riprap, and other measures to stabilize soil and prevent sediment from leaving the site.
  • Site-Specific Solutions – Custom planning for properties with challenging slopes, poor soils, or environmental restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need a permit for erosion and sedimentation control work?

    Yes. Most stormwater structures—including ponds, culverts, and piping systems—require permits and approved engineering plans. Our team works closely with engineers and local municipalities to ensure all work is fully permitted and compliant.

  • What’s the difference between erosion control and stormwater management?

    Erosion control prevents soil from washing away during rainstorms or construction, while stormwater management systems (like ponds and culverts) are designed to safely collect and move water away from your property. Both are essential for long-term property protection.

  • How long does it take to install a stormwater structure?

    The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the system. Smaller projects like swales or culverts may be completed in a few days, while larger ponds or underground piping systems may take several weeks. We’ll provide a clear schedule before work begins.

  • Why is erosion and sedimentation control important for my property?

    Without proper systems in place, stormwater runoff can cause flooding, wash out driveways, damage foundations, and send sediment into nearby waterways. Installing the right structures protects your property, keeps you compliant with environmental regulations, and safeguards neighboring landowners.
