Erosion control — slope stability you can walk on.
Drainage, terracing, and planting tuned for Mediterranean climate — built to hold up to Santa Ana winds and wet-winter rain.
Three systems working together: drainage, terracing, and planting.
Erosion control isn't a product — it's a layered system. We start with drainage that moves storm flow off the slope before it cuts channels. We terrace where the gradient is too steep to plant. Then we choose a planting palette that's deep-rooted, drought-tolerant, and right for Southern California's climate so the hillside binds itself together over time.
Three layers, one stable hill.
Drainage
Swales, surface drains, and subsurface piping sized to local storm intensity.
Terracing
Stepped retaining where the slope is too steep — turning a 30° face into usable, plantable shelves.
Native planting
Deep-rooted, drought-tolerant species — ceanothus, sage, manzanita, native grasses — that bind soil and survive Southern California dry seasons.
