Erosion Control During Land Clearing
Clearing land removes vegetation that prevents erosion. Without proper controls, topsoil washes away and muddy runoff damages neighboring properties.
Silt Fencing
Professional clearing includes silt fences around the project perimeter. These catch sediment before it leaves the site.
Erosion Control Blankets
These biodegradable blankets stabilize exposed soil and prevent erosion on slopes until vegetation can reestablish.
Storm Drain Protection
Clearing can fill storm drains with sediment. Professionals use inlet protection to prevent this and comply with environmental regulations.
Sediment Ponds
On large projects, temporary sediment ponds settle out sediment before water leaves the site.
Vegetative Stabilization
Quick-growing grass or vegetation stabilizes bare soil and prevents long-term erosion issues.
Regulatory Compliance
Most jurisdictions require erosion control plans. Professional contractors understand and implement required measures.
Proper erosion control protects your property, neighbors, and local waterways.
