Erosion Control Services
At John Marr Bobcat Excavation, we provide practical erosion control solutions designed to stabilize soil, manage water runoff, and protect your land from long-term damage. Uncontrolled erosion can quickly degrade landscapes, compromise structures, and create ongoing maintenance issues if not addressed correctly.
Our approach focuses on land-based erosion control—using grading, earth shaping, and physical stabilization methods to restore balance and protect your property.
Common Causes of Erosion
Heavy or repeated rainfall
Poor drainage or runoff patterns
Sloped or uneven terrain
Unstable or disturbed soil
Lack of proper ground stabilization
Left untreated, erosion can lead to washouts, property damage, and loss of usable land.
Erosion Control Methods We Use
Embankments – Raised earth structures to control runoff and protect soil
Pond Banks — Stabilization and reinforcement of pond edges to prevent erosion, protect shorelines, and maintain long-term bank integrity.
Rip Rap – Stone reinforcement to stabilize slopes, channels, and shorelines
Swales – Shallow channels that capture and redirect water safely
Terracing – Stepped grading to slow runoff and reduce erosion
Trenching & Soilways – Direct water flow away from vulnerable areas
Waterways – Natural or constructed channels for controlled drainage
Methods are selected based on soil type, slope, water flow, and site conditions.
Our Erosion Control Process
Site Evaluation – Assess terrain, soil stability, and runoff patterns
Erosion Planning – Identify the most effective stabilization methods
Installation & Grading – Shape and install erosion control features
Final Stabilization – Ensure long-term performance and durability
Erosion control projects are often coordinated with drainage systems, grading, berms, or land shaping to ensure the entire area functions properly.
Additional Capabilities
We also provide small pond and water feature construction or removal, including erosion protection along banks using rip rap and grading to prevent runoff and soil loss.

" I had John do some drainage work in my back yard and he did an excellent job, my water now flows freely. They were in and out and told me step by step how the process would go. They cleaned up the excess topsoil on the street and were very neat and tidy.
He was on the job the whole time and did the work himself. I was very satisfied and have recommended him to people."
