Erosion Control
Bare slopes, culvert outlets, and stream banks wash out fast in Western NC’s storms. We line the trouble spots with the right size rock and reshape the grade so it holds through the next one.
The right rock, in the right spot.
- Rock-lined channels sized to expected water flow
- Slope stabilization on cut and fill banks
- Culvert outlet protection to stop scouring
- Regrading to slow water before it concentrates
- Follow-up available after major storm events

Erosion Control Questions
What's the best rock for erosion control — rip rap or ballast?
Rip rap is better for slope faces and outlet protection; railroad ballast works well in channels with heavy, sustained flow. We’ll recommend based on the specific spot.
Does erosion control need vegetation too?
For lower-flow areas, ground cover or seeding alongside rock helps long-term. For high-flow channels and outlets, rock alone is usually the right call.
How soon after a storm should I address erosion?
As soon as you notice active washing — erosion feeds on itself, and a small gully becomes a big one fast.
Is this a one-time fix?
Properly sized rock and grading should hold long-term, but we’re happy to inspect after major storms and adjust if flow patterns change.
