Why Professional Erosion Control Beats DIY Fixes
Sure, you could toss down some straw or sprinkle seed yourself, and sometimes that helps for a while. But true erosion control is about managing water flow and soil stability, not just covering it up.
Our approach is simple:
We evaluate how and where water moves across your property, shape the land to slow it down, and install the right materials to keep soil in place. It’s not just about stopping erosion, it’s about making sure it doesn’t come back next season.
How to Stop Hillside Erosion (and Keep It from Coming Back)
Lancaster County is beautiful, but those rolling hills can be tricky. If your yard is on a slope, you’ve probably seen rain carve out ruts or expose roots. Here’s how we help stop that for good:
- Grading and Drainage: We shape the land so water flows gently, not forcefully.
- Straw or Coir Matting: Adds instant stability while new plants take root.
- Hydro-Mulch Systems (Flexterra/Promatrix): Great for steep or hard-to-reach slopes.
- Temporary or Permanent Seeding: Natural ground cover that protects the soil and adds green back fast.
Each solution is tailored to your property, not copied from a brochure. We’ll explain what works best for your slope, soil type, and budget, no pressure, no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does erosion control cost in Lancaster County?
It depends on the size of the area, slope steepness, and method. Straw mulching typically starts around three to five cents per square foot, while high-end hydro-mulch applications run closer to twenty cents per square foot. We’ll give you a detailed quote before any work begins.
Do you handle both residential and construction erosion control?
Absolutely. From backyard slopes and driveways to large construction pads and commercial sites, we’ve got the right tools and experience.
What causes erosion problems here in Central PA?
Heavy rain, compacted clay soils, and improper grading are the main culprits. Once the topsoil starts moving, it doesn’t stop on its own, so catching it early is key.
Will erosion control mess up my landscaping?
Not at all. Most of our solutions blend right into your landscape design, and many actually improve the look of your yard once vegetation grows in.
