Erosion Control

What This Service Involves

Erosion on slopes and bare ground washes away soil, damages landscapes, and can threaten structures – a real concern in the wet Pacific Northwest. We stop it with the right combination of solutions: erosion-control plantings and ground covers, matting and blankets, terracing, retaining structures, and drainage that manages the water driving the erosion. By addressing both the soil and the water, we stabilize problem areas for the long term rather than fighting the same washouts season after season.
