Site Grading for Water Management

Proper site grading is the first line of defense against water accumulation and erosion. Our expert grading services reshape your land to control water flow, directing it away from structures and critical areas.

Precision Land Grading for Property Protection

Our skilled team performs precision land grading for various applications, including:

  • Foundation Protection: Ensuring proper slope around building foundations to prevent water from pooling and causing structural issues.
  • Landscape Contouring: Creating aesthetically pleasing and functionally effective contours that enhance your property while managing water.
  • Runoff Diversion: Strategically shaping the land to divert rainwater and snowmelt away from sensitive areas, driveways, and walkways.
  • Building Pad Leveling: Preparing perfectly level pads for new home site preparation or commercial construction, ensuring a stable base.

We utilize advanced equipment and techniques to achieve optimal grades that are both effective and compliant with local regulations.

French Drain Installation for Subsurface Drainage

For persistent water issues or areas with high water tables, French drains offer an effective subsurface drainage solution, diverting excess water away from problem spots.

Expert French Drain Installation Services

A French drain system is an excellent investment for managing subsurface water and protecting your property. Our installation process includes:

  • Assessment and Design: Evaluating your property’s water issues to design the most effective French drain layout, including pipe size, gravel type, and trench depth.
  • Precision Trenching: Excavating trenches with the precise slope required for efficient water movement.
  • Material Installation: Laying permeable fabric, perforated pipes, and appropriate gravel to create a highly functional drainage channel.
  • Seamless Integration: Ensuring the French drain integrates seamlessly into your landscape, providing effective drainage without detracting from aesthetics.

This solution is particularly effective for wet basements, soggy lawns, or areas prone to standing water.

Erosion Control Services & Property Stability

Controlling erosion is essential for preserving your landscape, preventing soil loss, and protecting waterways. We offer tailored erosion control strategies to maintain your property’s stability.

Comprehensive Erosion Prevention & Management

Our erosion control services are designed to stabilize slopes, prevent soil displacement, and promote healthy vegetation. This includes:

  • Slope Stabilization: Implementing techniques like terracing or planting erosion-resistant vegetation on sloped areas.
  • Swale Creation: Designing and excavating vegetated swales to slow and spread water flow, reducing erosion.
  • Retention Ponds: Constructing small retention ponds to collect and slowly release stormwater, preventing rapid runoff.
  • Gabion Walls & Riprap: Utilizing durable solutions like rock-filled gabion baskets or riprap for severe erosion areas, especially near waterways or steep inclines.
  • Silt Fence Installation: Installing temporary silt fences during construction projects to contain soil and prevent sediment runoff.

We work to implement sustainable solutions that protect your property and the broader Central Oregon environment.
