The Grounds Guys do a phenomenal job. They did a major cleanup of my yard, installed new sod, laid stone, shells, and mulch, planted new Areca palms and flowers, rerouted some sprinklers, and created a flagstone path to the backyard, and all of it was down with meticulous care, attention to detail, and skill. The Guys are friendly, professional, and just a delight to deal with. They offered good suggestions for improving the yard and have communicated clearly throughout the process. I can’t recommend them enough.

Commercial Erosion Control FAQ

As an industry leader, The Grounds Guys are committed to using our 20-plus years of landscape knowledge and experience to help homeowners and businesses bring the vision for their property to life. This includes answering your questions about landscape services. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about erosion control.

There are actually many different erosion control methods. That said, three popular options are building retaining walls, hydroseeding, and putting down erosion control blankets.
- Retaining walls are sturdy structures built to hold soil in place on slopes.
- Hydroseeding is a cost-effective way to quickly plant ground cover by spraying a mix of seeds, mulch, and fertilizer on the land.
- Erosion control blankets are biodegradable mats that help protect soil and seeds from wind and water erosion.
The best erosion control grass will depend on your specific climate and soil conditions. Some of our favorite erosion control grasses are:
- Switchgrass
- Buffalo grass
- Big bluestem
- Smooth bromegrass
- Bahia grass
Newly planted grass seeds are vulnerable to erosion. We suggest adding erosion control blankets to newly seeded areas to protect the seeds and soil from wind and water erosion. Another option is to place straw mulch over the seeded areas, especially before fertilizing your new grass.
For commercial properties, erosion control often involves a combination of methods tailored to your specific site’s conditions. Establishing ground cover, adding retaining walls, and installing drainage systems are all incredibly effective erosion control methods.
For erosion control ground cover, we often favor creeping juniper, vinca minor, sedum, liriope, and pachysandra. However, the right ground cover will depend on your region’s climate and soil type and the specific conditions of your commercial property.
When you choose The Grounds Guys, you’ll get erosion control expertise, reliability, great communication, honesty, and a friendly team of experienced landscapers. Our goal is to always provide the best customer service possible. That’s our Neighborly Done Right Promise^® to you.

We are also knowledgeable in the latest erosion control techniques. Our goal is to improve the stability, safety, and long-term health of your property while keeping with the current aesthetic of the land.

Contact us today to see the Grounds Guys difference for yourself.
The best advice to manage erosion on your commercial property is to regularly inspect your land. Check to make sure water isn’t pooling near foundations or around your structures. Keep an eye on hills and slopes to make sure they aren’t losing valuable topsoil.

If you do notice signs of poor water drainage or erosion, consider planting erosion control grass or other ground cover. You may also need to construct erosion barriers, like retaining walls, to keep soil in place. If poor drainage is the main problem, you’ll need to install a more comprehensive draining solution.

Depending on the nature of your issues, it may be best to call in erosion control experts like The Grounds Guys to get professional help.
