Slopes Look Great—Until They Start to Slide

Uneven land and sloped properties can add character and beauty to your acreage—but they also come with challenges. Heavy rains, poor drainage, and ungraded terrain can quickly lead to erosion, washouts, and property damage.

At Southern Land Specialist, we help landowners stop erosion in its tracks with expert slope grading, water diversion strategies, and land stabilization services that last.

Why Erosion Control Is So Important

• Prevents topsoil loss and plant death
• Protects driveways, trails, and structures from damage
• Stops runoff from cutting deep ruts into your land
• Keeps build pads and foundations stable
• Improves land safety, value, and appearance

Common Signs of Erosion on Sloped Land:

• Exposed roots or bare patches
• Gullies or ruts forming in the soil
• Pooling water at the bottom of a slope
• Cracked or shifting foundations nearby
• Washed-out gravel on driveways or pads

📌 If your property shows these signs, it’s time to act before the next storm makes it worse.

Our Slope & Erosion Control Services Include:

1. Slope Grading & Reshaping

We cut and fill to:

• Reduce slope steepness
• Create natural terraces or contours
• Encourage slow, controlled water flow

📌 Gentle slopes are easier to maintain, build on, and protect from runoff.

2. Drainage & Water Diversion Systems

We build:

• Swales and shallow ditches
• Water bars and berms
• Redirection channels to move water safely away

📌 A dry slope is a stable slope. We’ll move the water before it becomes a problem.

3. Erosion Control Pad Prep

For build sites, barns, or driveways on sloped land, we offer:

• Graded and compacted build pads
• Elevated platforms for drainage
• Gravel or stone base installations

📌 Protect your investment by building on solid, dry, well-prepped ground.

4. Trail & Road Stabilization

We maintain or rebuild:

• Washed-out trails and paths
• Sloped driveways with erosion
• Utility roads or access lanes

📌 We re-grade and install drainage solutions to keep your paths usable and safe.

5. Soil Protection & Surface Sealing (Optional)

On vulnerable areas, we can help with:

• Hay or straw coverage
• Seeding for erosion-resistant grasses
• Mulching exposed dirt zones

📌 We give your land the cover it needs to stay in place between rainstorms.
