Normandy Park Slope Erosion Gravel Stabilization

In Normandy Park, steep slopes can be both a beautiful asset and a significant challenge. Erosion can undermine your landscaping and even pose safety risks to your property. One effective solution is gravel stabilization, which not only prevents erosion but also enhances the curb appeal of your home. This eco-friendly option requires low maintenance, making it a smart choice for homeowners and property managers alike.


Description & Benefits

What the Service Includes

Our gravel stabilization service addresses the specific challenges posed by Normandy Park’s unique climate and terrain. The process includes:

  • Site Assessment: We evaluate your slope to understand the extent of erosion and determine the best stabilization methods.
  • Preparation: This involves clearing the area of debris, weeds, and loose soil.
  • Installation of Geotextile Fabric: A durable fabric is laid down to prevent soil from washing away while allowing water to drain.
  • Gravel Application: We use high-quality, permeable gravel that allows for effective drainage while providing a stable surface.
  • Finishing Touches: We ensure that the gravel is evenly distributed and compacted, providing an attractive, functional look.

Key Benefits

  • Enhanced Appearance: Properly installed gravel not only stabilizes but also improves the aesthetic of your landscape.
  • Durability: Gravel is long-lasting and requires minimal upkeep compared to other materials.
  • Safety: Stabilized slopes reduce the risk of landslides, protecting your property and ensuring safe access.
