Erosion Control

Erosion Control

Erosion is one of the most destructive forces in a landscape — and one of the most preventable. Unchecked runoff strips away topsoil, undermines hardscapes, exposes roots, and can even threaten building foundations. Sacramento's clay soils are particularly vulnerable to erosion during winter storms, when heavy rain hits compacted ground and runs off instead of infiltrating.

Our erosion control solutions address both the symptoms and the causes. We build retaining walls to hold slopes in place, terrace steep grades to slow water flow, and install drainage systems to capture and direct runoff before it can do damage. For active construction sites or newly graded properties, we install silt fencing, erosion control blankets, and hydroseeding to stabilize soil until vegetation establishes.

Every erosion control project begins with a site assessment during or immediately after a rain event, so we can see exactly where water moves and where soil is being lost. We then design a solution that works with the natural hydrology of your property.
