If you need erosion control in Crestline, you have probably watched part of your lot wash downhill. Gullies form after storms. Dirt piles up against the house. The edge of the driveway keeps crumbling. You are in the right place. We stop erosion with walls, drainage and grading, and every storm that passes takes more of the slope with it.
When You Need Erosion Control
Signs of erosion include gullies or ruts, exposed roots, soil piled against siding or decks, sediment on the driveway, cracks in the ground near structures and water that pools against the foundation.
Left alone, erosion undercuts decks, washes out driveways, pushes soil against the house and can damage foundations.
In these mountains, snowmelt and heavy rain on steep, loose soil cause most of it. The fix is usually a mix of walls, drainage and grading, not just one.
Our Erosion Control Process
We walk the slope with you during or after a storm if we can, and look at where the water comes from and where it goes.
Then we build the fix: retaining walls with drain lines and gravel behind them, regrading to move water away from structures, and stabilizing cut slopes. We do the dirt work with our own equipment. On a Crestline home, new walls with drains held back the hill and left level ground where the slope used to be.
Timing depends on the size of the area and the weather. We will tell you with the estimate.
