Erosion Control Solutions

D R Excavation offers a variety of erosion solutions to fit your specific needs, including:

  • Stabilizing Slopes

    Slopes are particularly vulnerable to erosion. We can help you stabilize them with retaining walls, geogrids, and other solutions.

  • Slowing Water Down

    We can help you slow water down with drainage solutions, including culverts and storm drains.

  • Hardscaping with Drainage

    Installing hardscaping with drainage will help prevent erosion in areas where water is likely to flow.

  • Hydroseeding

    Hydroseeding is a cost-effective and efficient way to prevent erosion. Hydroseeding uses a slurry of seed, mulch, and water to promote vegetation growth.

  • Silt Fence

    Silt fences allow water to pass through but traps sediment and other particles. They are a simple but effective way to prevent sediment runoff.

  • Mulching

    Mulching provides a protective layer over the soil and promotes vegetation growth.

  • Loss of topsoil
  • Soil nutrient depletion
  • Harmful algal blooms
  • Damage to your foundation
  • Increased risk of flooding

We use various erosion control materials and equipment to provide the necessary solutions to protect your property including:

  • Harrows: Break up and smooth soil with spiked discs or teeth, creating a roughened surface that reduces water runoff and soil erosion.

  • Gravel Bags: Gravel bags prevent erosion by providing a barrier against water flow.
  • Straw Wattles: Tubes of straw or other materials designed to slow water flow and prevent sediment runoff.
