Erosion & Sediment Control
Erosion Repair
Heavy rain events and Florida's sandy soils combine to make erosion repair a recurring need on active construction sites. LES responds to rill and gully erosion, failed or undermined BMPs, and storm-damaged slopes with regrading, soil replacement, and reinstallation of erosion control measures — restoring the site to compliance and preventing repeat failure.
What’s Included
- Site assessment to identify the cause of erosion, not just the damage
- Regrading and soil replacement for rill and gully erosion
- Reinstallation of failed silt fence, check dams, and inlet protection
- Erosion control blanket and reseeding for damaged slopes
- Flow-diversion corrections to prevent repeat failure
Common Failure Points
- Regrading a gully or rill without correcting the upstream flow concentration that caused it
- Cosmetic patch repairs that don't address an undermined or displaced BMP underneath
- Repeat erosion in the same spot after every storm because the cause was never fixed
- Delayed response that lets a small failure widen into a larger compliance issue
LES Field Method
- 01Trace the contributing drainage pattern to identify the actual cause of the erosion
- 02Regrade and replace soil where rills, gullies, or undermined BMPs are present
- 03Reinstall or upgrade the failed silt fence, check dam, or inlet protection
- 04Apply erosion control blanket and reseeding on damaged slopes
- 05Photo-document before/after condition and track the corrective action to close-out
Technical Notes
Effective erosion repair addresses the cause, not just the visible damage: a regraded gully without an upstream flow-diversion or armoring fix will simply re-erode in the next storm. LES evaluates the contributing drainage pattern before repairing the symptom.
Installed. Maintained. Documented.
Every installation, repair, or maintenance visit is photo-documented in the field — so the work holds up under inspection, not just under a good-faith assumption.
- Before, during, and completed-work photos
- Field maintenance notes
- Post-rain observations
- Corrective action tracked through to close-out
- Documentation-ready reports for your compliance file

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can erosion repair happen after a storm?
Response time depends on site access and conditions, but post-storm repair is treated as a priority dispatch — the longer a failed BMP sits, the more sediment leaves the site and the more exposure to a compliance violation.
Will the same erosion just come back?
Not if the cause is addressed. LES evaluates the contributing flow path before repairing — regrading a gully without correcting the upstream concentration point that caused it usually leads to the same failure in the next rain event.
