PREVENT EROSION &
SEDIMENT RUN-OFF
Erosion and sediment control (ESC) is the cornerstone of sustainable land management, ensuring soil stability, protecting water quality, and maintaining compliance with British Columbia's rigorous environmental regulations. At Evergreen, we specialize in a diverse range of ESC techniques, tailored to your project's unique requirements, from controlling surface water flow to stabilizing slopes and preventing sediment runoff.
Our solutions integrate advanced methods like silt fencing, check dams, straw wattles, and erosion control blankets (ECBs), as well as sustainable practices such as hydroseeding and vegetative buffers. Whether you’re managing a construction site, a large residential project, or civil infrastructure, Evergreen’s ESC services are designed to safeguard your land, preserve ecosystems, and enhance long-term project stability.
Custom ESC Plans
We offer site-specific strategies for compliance and success. Every project is unique, which is why our certified team creates tailored ESC plans that incorporate Best Management Practices (BMPs) to meet regulatory requirements and ensure environmental protection. These plans include detailed strategies for implementing techniques such as sediment basins, silt fences, and erosion control products like coir (coco) mats.

Hydroseeding and Vegetative Buffers
Our eco-friendly solutions ensure long-term stability. Hydroseeding is a proven method for slope stabilization, erosion prevention, and vegetation establishment. This technique blends seed, mulch, water, and fertilizer into a uniform mixture sprayed over exposed soil to promote rapid growth. Vegetative buffers, such as planted grass strips and shrubs, act as natural barriers that reduce runoff velocity and trap sediment.

Erosion-resistant vegetative barriers
Erosion Control Techniques
It's out goal to protect Soil from the Forces of Nature. Erosion control measures focus on keeping soil in place by reducing the impact of wind and water. We deploy solutions like biodegradable erosion control blankets, straw wattles, and geotextiles to stabilize soil surfaces. Additional methods, including contouring and terracing, help slow water flow and minimize erosion risks.

-
Straw wattles to reduce water velocity
-
Geotextiles and turf reinforcement mats for structural support
Sediment Control Measures
Trapping Sediment Before It Leaves Your Site is critical. Sediment control measures are critical for containing displaced soil and preventing it from polluting stormwater systems and waterways. Evergreen employs advanced techniques like silt fences, sediment traps, and check dams to intercept and retain sediment, while sediment basins allow for larger-scale runoff management.

-
Sediment basins and traps to capture soil particles
-
Check dams for controlling water flow in channels
Slope Stabilization
We're in the business of preventing Landslides and Soil Erosion on Sloped Terrains. Slopes are particularly vulnerable to erosion, making stabilization essential for safety and compliance. Our techniques include hydroseeding, retaining walls, and erosion blankets, as well as innovative solutions like vegetated retaining systems and gabion baskets. These methods not only secure slopes but also blend seamlessly with natural surroundings.

Irrigation for
Vegetation Success
Supporting Vegetation Establishment and Longevity, irrigation plays a vital role in ensuring the success of vegetation-based erosion control measures. Evergreen installs and manages temporary or permanent irrigation systems to maintain optimal moisture levels for hydroseeding and vegetative buffers, ensuring strong, sustainable growth.

Customized solutions for arid or challenging sites
Stormwater & Surface Water Management
Let us direct water flow to prevent erosion and runoff. Proper water management is key to effective erosion and sediment control. Our services include designing and implementing drainage systems, constructing bio-swales, and installing sediment logs to channel and slow water flow. These solutions ensure water is safely directed while protecting soil and infrastructure.

"Evergreen is a true advocate for the erosion control industry."
- Patrick Goosen, Brock White Construction Materials
Using a combination of engineered mulches, erosion control blankets or ECB's, sediment logs, silt fencing, sandbags, and other turf reinforcement nets, Evergreen ensures your site stays in place, and within code. Sensitive vegetation such as riparian areas, can be stabilized using products that not only preserve and protect the environment, but actually enhance it. Contact us for a free quote.
