To protect property, preserve topography, and support vegetation, erosion control is key. Erosion control elements may take a variety of forms, from retaining walls to berms, and make use of materials including stone, concrete block, compacted soil, and straw. Each of these is carefully chosen, designed, and installed according to the client’s and site’s needs.

When constructed as part of an urban forestry design, these structures also help hold moisture in the soil near tree and plant roots, supporting and improving their health.
