The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

Erosion is slow until the storm that makes it fast. Fixing it means slowing water down, spreading it out and giving soil something to hold onto. We combine small retaining walls, rock-lined swales, erosion-control blanket, riprap at outlets and deep-rooted planting to stabilize slopes and protect foundations, driveways and neighbors.

Nashville's hills and heavy rain events make this a common need around Bellevue, Fairview, Ashland City and Kingston Springs. We identify the water path first, design the fix to match and keep the result natural-looking instead of a rock pile.

Good questions

Erosion Control & Slope Stabilization: common questions

What is the best way to stop erosion on a slope?

A combination: slow the water with swales or terraces, protect bare soil with matting and cover it with deep-rooted plants. Each slope is different.

Can plants alone fix erosion?

On gentle slopes, often yes. On steep or fast-running water, structure like walls and rock is needed alongside plants.
