Most property managers don't realize regulatory agencies conduct their own stormwater inspections. And when they find a violation, they don't hand you a polite suggestion — they issue notices of violation, levy fines, and put you on a compliance deadline you didn't see coming.
Our inspections get you there first. We walk your stormwater system and retention ponds the same way a regulatory inspector would — outlet structures, slopes, vegetation, sediment levels, erosion points, pipe condition, overall system function. You get a detailed written report with photos and a clear maintenance plan to address anything we find.
In most cases, our inspection pays for itself — either by catching something early or by giving you documented proof your system is being properly maintained before an agency ever shows up.

Whether it's a stormwater basin, a retention pond, or a complex BMP system — regular maintenance is what keeps a $500 problem from turning into a $15,000 emergency.
We build scheduled maintenance programs around your specific property. We show up consistently, document everything, and flag anything that needs attention before it escalates. No surprises. No neglected systems. Just a stormwater infrastructure
that actually works when it rains.
Routine Vegetation Management — Mowing, trimming, and controlling growth around pond banks, slopes, berms, and access areas to maintain function and compliance
Vegetative Planting — Strategic planting to stabilize slopes, control erosion, and support the biological function of your stormwater system
Debris & Litter Control — Removal of debris, organic buildup, and litter that clogs outlets and degrades water quality
Wildlife & Insect Control — Management of mosquito populations, nuisance wildlife, and invasive species common to retention ponds and wet detention basins

If your stormwater system has been neglected, damaged by a major storm, or was poorly constructed to begin with, we have the knowledge and equipment to diagnose and repair it properly.
We don't subcontract this work to someone who's never seen a stormwater BMP before. Our team handles repairs in-house, from small structural fixes to full system rehabilitation.
Sediment Removal — Dredging and cleanout of ponds and basins that have lost capacity due to sediment buildup
Slope Erosion Repair — Stabilization and
restoration of eroding slopes, banks, and berms before they become structural failures
Sinkhole Repair — Identification and remediation of subsidence issues near stormwater structures and conveyance pipes
Brush Cutting & Removal — Heavy-duty clearing of overgrown vegetation and woody brush from pond banks and access areas
Structure Repair & Replacement — Repair or full replacement of outlet structures, weirs, risers, and control devices
Pipe Repair & Installation — Inspection, repair, and replacement of stormwater conveyance pipes
Hydro-Seeding — Erosion control seeding for disturbed slopes, repaired banks, and newly graded areas


Got land that's been taken over by brush, briars, and small trees? Whether you need targeted mulching around a pond bank or full-scale land clearing for development, we have the equipment and experience to handle it.
Our mulching equipment grinds vegetation in
place — trees, brush, stumps, and all — turning it into a natural layer of mulch that covers the ground, controls erosion, and breaks down over time. No burning. No hauling. No mess. One pass. Clean finish.
Need a site cleared for development, a right-of-way opened up, or an overgrown lot reclaimed? We clear large acreage and small lots alike, working around your vision for the property from start to finish.

It's recommended to inspect retention ponds at least twice a year, ideally before and after the rainy season. Additional inspections may be necessary after major storm events.
Our inspections cover:
• Assessing the overall condition of the pond
• Checking for blockages or damage in the inlet and outlet structures
• Inspecting the integrity of the pond’s banks and slopes
• Identifying signs of erosion or sediment buildup
• Evaluating vegetation and aquatic life
Our maintenance services include:
• Debris and sediment removal
• Repairing and clearing inlet and outlet structures
• Erosion control and bank stabilization
• Vegetation management
• Algae and weed control
The frequency of maintenance depends on the specific needs of your property. We offer customizable maintenance plans, ranging from weekly to monthly services, to keep your grounds looking their best year-round.
Not sure if you need an inspection, maintenance, a repair, or all three? We'll come out, walk the property with you, and give you an honest picture of where things stand. No obligation. No pressure. Just straight talk from people who've been doing this a long time.
