Erosion Control

Erosion is controlled in many ways: grading, drain tiles, French swales, and heavy outcropping or rip-rap stone. Dresen Landscaping has 25+ years of experience in minimizing surface water and securing soil to prevent erosion on shorelines and on steep grades. Proper techniques and equipment are used for less invasive measures, requiring minimal restoration of the landscape.
