Erosion and Water Control

Explore our property preservation tactics

At Ackerman Contracting, we understand the importance of effective erosion and water control measures to preserve the integrity of your property and protect against damage caused by water runoff. Our comprehensive erosion and water control solutions are designed to mitigate erosion, manage stormwater runoff, and maintain the stability of your landscape. Explore our range of services below:

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are an essential component of erosion control, helping to stabilize slopes, prevent soil erosion, and create level areas for landscaping or construction. Our team specializes in designing and constructing durable retaining walls using high-quality materials and proven construction techniques.

Drainage Systems

Proper drainage is crucial for managing stormwater runoff and preventing water accumulation on your property. We offer a variety of drainage solutions, including French drains, surface drains, and channel drains, tailored to meet the specific needs of your landscape and ensure efficient water management.

Erosion Control Blankets and Matting

Erosion control blankets and matting provide temporary protection for soil surfaces, preventing erosion caused by rainfall, wind, or water runoff. We offer a range of erosion control products, including biodegradable blankets and synthetic matting, to stabilize soil and promote vegetation growth in environmentally sensitive areas.

Swales and Berms

Swales and berms are natural or engineered features designed to redirect and manage stormwater runoff, preventing erosion and reducing the risk of flooding. Our team designs and constructs swales and berms to effectively channel water away from sensitive areas and protect against soil erosion and sedimentation.

Riprap and Gabion Systems

Riprap and gabion systems are commonly used for shoreline stabilization, channel lining, and slope protection in areas prone to erosion. We specialize in installing riprap and gabion systems using durable materials such as natural stone or wire mesh baskets filled with rock, providing long-lasting erosion control solutions.

Vegetative Stabilization

Vegetative stabilization involves planting vegetation to stabilize soil surfaces and prevent erosion. We offer revegetation services using native plants and grasses suited to your climate and soil conditions, promoting root development and enhancing soil stability over time.

Stormwater Management Plans

Developing a comprehensive stormwater management plan is essential for controlling erosion and minimizing the environmental impact of development projects. Our team works closely with clients to design and implement effective stormwater management strategies that comply with regulatory requirements and promote sustainable land use practices.
