Residential Erosion Control Service

Soil erosion is an often-hidden but destructive force that can slowly compromise your landscape, home, hardscape, and more. It can cause extensive, costly damage, and even put your home at risk. The most effective way to stop erosion is with professional erosion control service for The Grounds Guys®.

Erosion isn’t something that will stop on its own. Instead, if left unaddressed, it often gets worse over time. Investing in residential erosion control early is the best way to protect your property and limit the damage.

We’ve been providing effective residential erosion control throughout Canada for over 30 years. Request a free estimate today.

Common Forms of Erosion Control

Erosion control comes in many forms and will depend on the cause of the erosion on your property. Our team will perform an initial assessment of your property and develop a customized erosion control plan based on our findings. Here are some of the most common forms of residential erosion control we use.

  • Retaining walls are an excellent way to stabilize slopes and prevent soil erosion in areas with significant elevation changes.
  • Terracing is a way of creating level platforms on a slope to reduce water runoff and soil erosion.
  • Drainage management is one of the best ways to help move water and snowmelt away from your foundation and protect your landscape during heavy rain.
  • Hydroseeding is a way to accelerate the growth of ground cover by spraying a mixture of seeds, mulch, fertilizer, and water on open or thinly planted land.
  • Mulching around gardens, shrubs, trees, and open land can help protect soil from erosion.
  • Native planting is an excellent way to hold down soil while also creating a more natural and biodiverse landscape.

All The Grounds Guys franchises are locally owned and operated and may offer fewer or more services than those listed here. To learn more about residential erosion control offered in your area, contact The Grounds Guys nearest you for details or a customized on-site assessment.

  • White speech bubble with a star in the middle against a green background.

    Reliable landscapers who really understand horticulture are hard to come by. The Ground Guys team is one of them! They did a great job cleaning up my front yard, trimming down the main tree blocking my window. They took time to explain how the tree was trimmed and what to do for next season which I appreciated. I’m happy to recommend and use them again.

    The Grounds Guys are fantastic! We had them do a complete backyard redesign that included an inground pool. Their ideas and workmanship were amazing. I would highly recommend them for any job big or small.

    The team from Grounds Guys did an amazing job. They were courteous and cleaned up everything after they finished. They even came back the nex morning to seed around the posts and any area that the lawn got damaged. I will definitely recommend and use them for any future projects.

  • White speech bubble with a star in the middle against a green background.

    Great service from The Grounds Guys Barrie. The crew was at our home for four days cleaning beds, edging, moving perennials, reshaping our gardens and finally laying a ton of mulch. Jaclyn and Hailey did most of the work the first couple of days with great care and attention to detail, they worked so diligently to get everything completed to our liking. Very pleasant and knowledgeable, I loved their energy!! The rest of the crew came in the last couple of days for the remainder of cleaning and mulching, I can’t say enough about how pleasant and hard working everyone was. Thank you, you have been the best gardeners we have hired and I am very happy with the end results.
