Ravine Erosion Control

Urban Sprawl and Dense Shade Invite Landslides

Ravines, bluffs, and hillsides can provide some of our region’s most exquisite landscapes, but these sloping habitats are subject to erosion when buildings, roads, or the dense shade of crowded trees disturbs the native plant community and alters the natural water flow. Whether gradual or sudden, erosion can be a distressing – if not dangerous – problem.

Shoreline Erosion

Don't Let Your Shoreline Slip Away, We Provide Natural Erosion Control for Ponds & Streams

Even gentle waves lapping at the banks of your pond or stream can erode the shoreline, silt up the water, and carry away your land. Rip-rap stone or turf grass might seem like solutions, but water will undercut these ineffective barriers. Stone and non-native grasses also can’t prevent chemical run-off from polluting the water and causing unsightly algal blooms.

Our Restoration and Maintenance Plan

We restore the integrity and beauty of your shoreline by establishing a stable, diverse community of native plants, whose deep, fibrous roots can resist erosion and absorb chemical run-off. After nurturing the young native plants for the first few critical years, we provide ongoing, essential stewardship, reducing the long-term cost to well below that of combating continued erosion.
