Overview
Erosion Control in Charlotte, NC
Any time soil is disturbed, water becomes the problem. Rain moving across bare ground picks up sediment, cuts channels into slopes, and carries material into ditches, streets, and storm drains. Erosion control is the work that keeps that from happening, both during construction and after the site is finished.
We install the standard measures required on most job sites: silt fence, rock construction entrances, inlet and outlet protection, check dams, diversion berms, and temporary or permanent seeding. On steeper ground we use matting, rip rap, and slope shaping to slow water down before it can do damage.
Erosion control also overlaps with drainage. If water is concentrating in the wrong place, fencing alone will not fix it. We look at how water moves across the whole site and combine grading, swales, and stabilization so the fix holds up through heavy rain instead of washing out the first storm.

How We Work
Why Our Erosion Fixes Last
01
We treat the cause, not the symptom
If water is concentrating in the wrong place, silt fence alone won't hold. Grading and stabilization get combined so the fix lasts.
02
Permit measures installed right
Silt fence trenched in, construction entrances built to spec, inlet protection that actually stays put through a storm.
03
Steep ground gets more than seed
Matting, blankets, and rip rap on slopes and outfalls so vegetation has time to take hold.
04
Maintained through construction
Measures get checked and repaired after heavy rain while the site is still open.
How Estimates Work
What Affects The Price Of Erosion Control
No two properties price the same, which is why we walk yours before quoting anything. You leave that visit with a firm written number for the whole job, and nothing moves until you approve it.
Erosion control is the right service when you are disturbing soil on a site, dealing with washouts and gullies on a slope, losing yard to runoff, or need required measures in place to satisfy a land disturbance permit.
If the root cause is drainage rather than surface erosion, we can handle the grading, swales, and drainage work in the same visit instead of treating the symptom.
What We Look At On The Walk-Through
Disturbed Area
How much open ground has to be protected and for how long the site stays open.
Slope & Soil
Steeper ground and loose soil need matting, rip rap, or shaping instead of seed alone.
Required Measures
What the permit or inspector calls for, from silt fence to construction entrances.
Maintenance
Whether we stay on the job repairing measures through construction or install and leave.

Ask Angelo: (704) 981-0795What erosion control measures do you install?
Silt fence, rock construction entrances, inlet and outlet protection, check dams, diversion berms and ditches, erosion control matting and blankets, rip rap, and temporary or permanent seeding.
Do I need erosion control for my project?
If your project disturbs soil, most municipalities in Mecklenburg County and the surrounding area require erosion control measures as part of the land disturbance permit. Even on smaller projects it protects your site and your neighbors.
How much does erosion control cost?
It depends on the size of the disturbed area, slope, soil conditions, materials required, and whether ongoing maintenance is part of the scope. We provide an estimate after reviewing the site. Contact us to get started.
Can you fix an existing washout or gully?
Yes. We reshape the area, address the water source with grading or drainage, then stabilize with matting, rip rap, or seeding so it does not reopen.
Do you maintain erosion control during construction?
We can. Silt fence and other measures need inspection and repair after heavy rain, and we can stay on the job through construction to keep everything functioning and compliant.
Will seeding hold on a steep slope?
On steeper ground, seed alone often washes out. We use erosion control blankets or matting over the seed, and rip rap in high flow areas, so vegetation has time to establish.
How does erosion control relate to drainage work?
They go together. Erosion control handles sediment and surface soil loss, drainage handles where the water goes. On most sites we address both so the fix actually lasts.
