Erosion Control That Keeps Red Clay on Your Property

Soil Protection From a GSWCC-Certified Company

Erosion control keeps soil from washing off your land when it rains. One storm can strip a lot of soil off a bare slope or job site. We set barriers that catch muddy runoff and cover the ground so it holds. That protects your yard, your driveway and the streams downhill.

Weather Tech Roofing holds Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission certification number 0000108644. We are based in Elberton and handle erosion control in Hartwell, Danielsville and Comer. Our team also protects homes, farms and job sites across Northeast Georgia.

Call us or request a free estimate if bare ground is washing on your property. We can plan protection for a single slope, a ditch or a full building site.

Erosion Control in Elberton, GA

What's Included

What Our Silt Fence Installation and Soil Cover Work Includes

Good erosion control does two jobs. It holds soil in place, and it catches what moves. Barriers go along the low side, then mulch, seed or blankets cover the soil. Erosion work in Northeast Georgia has to hold up to sudden, heavy summer storms.

How Slope Stabilization Protects Your Land and Water

Less Mud in Ditches and Streams

Sediment is soil that rain carries off a site. It fills ditches, clogs culverts and clouds creeks downhill. Catching it at the edge of your land keeps the soil where it belongs.

Setting Silt Fence the Right Way

Silt fence runs along the low side of the work, following the lay of the land. The bottom of the fabric is buried in a trench so water cannot slip under. The ends turn uphill so muddy water pools behind the fence and drops its soil. As a grading contractor, Weather Tech Roofing holds GSWCC certification for this work.

Check Barriers After Every Big Rain

Georgia erosion practice calls for checking silt fence weekly and after every half-inch rain. Torn fabric, gaps and built-up mud should be fixed right away.

Erosion Problems We Fix on Slopes, Ditches and Job Sites

New home sites need protection from the first day of grading until the lawn is in. Steep road banks and cut slopes wash into gullies when they stay bare. Farm ditches and field edges can carve deeper with every storm. We match the method to the problem, from silt fence to a seeded, blanketed slope.

Steeper slopes and bigger drainage areas change the approach. A gentle yard may only need mulch and seed. A long, steep bank may need blankets, plus rock to slow water in a ditch. Hydroseeding, a sprayed blend of seed, mulch and water, suits large or sloped areas.

  • Building sites that need silt fence from the first day of grading
  • Cut banks and road shoulders washing into gullies
  • Drainage ditches that keep cutting deeper after storms
  • Freshly graded yards waiting for sod or grass to fill in

How long should silt fence stay up?

Silt fence stays up until the ground behind it has grass or another lasting cover. Taking it down too early lets the next storm carry soil off.

What is the fastest way to stop erosion on a bare slope?

Covering the bare soil is the fastest step. Straw mulch, blankets or hydroseeding protect the surface right away while grass roots grow.

What does GSWCC certification mean for erosion control?

It means the person passed erosion and sediment control training approved by the state commission. Georgia requires it for people who install or inspect erosion controls on regulated sites.

Do I need erosion control for a small home project?

Yes, small projects still need basic protection, even when they fall under the one-acre state threshold. Silt fence and quick cover keep soil out of ditches, streets and neighbors' yards.

Why does my ditch keep washing out after every storm?

Fast water in a bare ditch cuts into the soil each time it rains. Lining the ditch with grass, blankets or rock slows the water down.
