STORMWATER & POND INSPECTIONS
Get ahead of the problem before the regulator finds it for you.
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.
What's included:
Full visual inspection of all stormwater BMPs and retention pond systems
Photo documentation of current conditions
Detailed written inspection report
Identification of existing issues and early-warning flags
Compliance guidance and prioritized maintenance recommendations

STORMWATER & RETENTION POND MAINTENANCE
The cheapest repair is the one you prevent.
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.
What's included:
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

STORMWATER POND REPAIRS
When something's broken, we fix it right — not just fast.
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.
Repair services include:
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
FORESTRY MULCHING & LAND CLEARING
Turn overgrown into opportunity — fast.
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.
Forestry Mulching
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.
Land Clearing
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.
Great for:
Overgrown lots prior to development or sale
Pond bank and slope clearing
Right-of-way and easement clearing
Erosion control on disturbed areas
Large commercial or industrial tract clearing
