Perimeter's Solution for Erosion Management
Spring in Oklahoma means rainfall, and with it comes the exposure of erosion vulnerabilities across commercial and residential properties. What begins as minor soil displacement can quickly escalate into major structural concerns when spring downpours arrive.
At a local distribution center, we recently identified rapidly developing erosion patterns threatening both the landscape and foundation integrity. Our solution? A strategically engineered tiered flume system using stakes and 12″ Rip Rap to control water flow and eliminate erosion at its source.
Water management extends beyond just preventing soil loss. Standing water creates breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other pests that can affect employee comfort and health at your facility.
With changing weather patterns across the country, water-related property issues have become increasingly common and more severe. These challenges rarely resolve themselves—they typically worsen with each rainfall until properly addressed.
The Perimeter approach begins with comprehensive site assessment to identify water flow patterns and vulnerable areas before problems escalate. Our teams design customized solutions ranging from simple drainage corrections to engineered water management systems.
Early intervention saves substantially on repair costs. A minor erosion issue addressed in early spring can prevent a major excavation and structural repair project by summer.
Beyond erosion control, our water management solutions include bioswales, rain gardens, and permeable hardscapes that transform water challenges into aesthetic and environmental assets for your property.
Perimeter’s maintenance programs include regular inspections of water management systems, especially before and after Oklahoma’s heavy rain seasons. This proactive approach keeps small issues from becoming property emergencies. Ready to address water management concerns on your commercial property? Contact our team for a comprehensive site assessment before the next major rainfall puts your landscape and structures at risk.
Top 8 Warning Signs of Erosion Problems: Is Your Property at Risk?
- Exposed tree or plant roots that should normally be underground
- Small channels or rills forming in soil after rainfall
- Soil washing onto walkways, parking lots, or driveways during or after storms
- Muddy or discolored runoff water leaving your property
- Bare patches of soil with little to no vegetation coverage
- Standing water that remains for more than 24-48 hours after rain stops
- Clogged drainage systems that overflow during moderate rainfall
