Erosion control by town
Erosion Control
Slopes stabilised, banks armoured and water redirected so the next heavy rain does not take the yard, the drive or the creek bank with it.

Creek and river banks washed out by flooding, rebuilt with rock to protect the ground behind them.
ViewSpecialistSlope Stabilization
Washing, slumping and eroding slopes reshaped and protected so they stay put through the next storm.
ViewSpecialistDrainage Solutions
Swales, ditches, drains and culverts that move water away from the house, the drive and the slope before it does damage.

Land Clearing
Trees, brush, briars and stumps taken off the ground so a mountain lot can be built on, driven on, fenced or used again.
ViewServiceForestry Mulching
Brush, briars, scrub and small trees ground up where they stand, with the mulch left on the ground to hold the soil.
ViewServiceGrading & Site Prep
Pads cut level, slopes shaped, and ground graded so the water leaves the site instead of running through the house.
ViewServiceDriveway Installation & Repair
New gravel drives cut in and worn ones rebuilt, graded and crowned so the rain runs off instead of down the middle.
ViewServiceExcavation
Foundations, trenches, utility lines, root balls and rock — dug to the right depth and backfilled so the ground settles once.
ViewServiceRetaining Walls
Block retaining walls built on a real base, with drain pipe and stone behind them, so the slope they hold stays held.
ViewServiceDemolition
Structures torn down, debris loaded and hauled, and the site left clear and graded instead of a pile of rubble.
ViewServiceSeptic Installation
Tank holes, drain field lines and the grading around them, dug to the plan so the system sits right and drains the way it should.
ViewServiceHauling
Gravel, fill and stone brought in, and spoil, brush and debris hauled away — usually as part of the job, sometimes on its own.
ViewServiceSnow Removal
Hazy River Earthworks is clearing snow this winter around Leicester, Asheville and Weaverville. Get on the list before the first storm.
