Do you have erosion control issues due to the flooding? Give us a call at 828-234-6246.

Yard drains, drainage swales, silt fence, seed and straw. Get the water going where it should.

How it works

Water standing in the yard, running under the house, or cutting a ditch through the middle of everything.

Sometimes the fix is regrading so it runs the right way. Sometimes it is a drain line and a catch basin. Sometimes it is rock in a swale. Usually it is knowing which one.

New construction that needs silt fence and seeding to pass inspection, we do that too.

What we need to know to quote it

Have these ready when you call and we can usually give you a number on the spot.

  • Where is the water coming from, and where is it ending up?
  • Is it standing in one spot, or running across and cutting in?
  • Has it gotten under the house or into a crawlspace?
  • New construction that needs silt fence, or an existing yard?

What people say about our erosion control work

We used Smith mine on a project where we needed to remove an existing concrete driveway, re grade the existing slab, add a new drainage pipe and then pour the driveway back. This was a massive project but smith mine made quick and efficient work of it. Very responsive and did everything they said they would in a timely manner. Great customer service and will definitely be using them for all our future projects!
