About Snead's

Expert Erosion Control Contractors in Mint Hill, NC

Snead's Outdoor Services started with our owner, Chris Snead, who grew up in the landscaping and power equipment business alongside his father. He took to running machinery early, and once he graded his first plot of land on his father's tractor he was hooked — that is where this company came from.

We are still a small outfit and we like it that way: the person who looks at your bank is the one who fixes it. We stabilise shorelines and slopes, then grade and seed behind the work so the repair actually holds.

Our Erosion Control Process

From the first call to the finished job, here is how an erosion job runs from the first walk-through to the finished bank.

Free On-Site Estimate

We come out and look at where you are losing ground and why — the slope, the water and what it is doing to the bank.

We Go Over It With You

You hear what we found, what it is going to take and what it costs — before anything gets started. Nothing happens on your property until you say go.

We Stabilize It

We put the fix in and grade and seed behind it, so the repair holds instead of washing out with the next storm.

We Walk It With You

When the work is done we go over the finished job together and make sure it is what you had in mind. That is the part most people never get, and it is the part we care about most.

Erosion is a geological process in which rock, soil, and other earthen materials are gradually worn away by wind and water. While this process is natural and ultimately inevitable, there are many steps we can take to prevent it and slow it down.

Erosion Control in Lexington, North Carolina

If erosion were left to run its course naturally, shorelines would undergo significant change over time, which would likely cause property damage as well. Our team at Snead’s Outdoor Services (SOS) offers expert erosion control services to help you keep your waterfront property intact and the shoreline stable.

Shoreline erosion is primarily caused by the movement of waves, which wears away the soil of the land and sweeps it out into the water. Because of this, many of our erosion control methods are designed to reflect or break up the energy of the waves as they hit the shore, which redirects the force elsewhere. A seawall protects the ground behind it from the force of the waves, and placing rocks along the shore breaks up the energy of the waves to weaken their impact. If you are concerned about how erosion can damage your property, we encourage you to reach out to us to learn more about our erosion control techniques.

Our team is proud to serve the Lexington, North Carolina area, and we want to help you take the best care of your property. If you need erosion control services, just give us a call today to get our experts on the job as soon as possible.


At Snead’s Outdoor Services, we offer erosion control services to customers throughout Lexington, Denton, Thomasville, Asheboro, Mooresville, Lake Norman, Winston-Salem, Salisbury, Davidson, Cornelius, and Concord, North Carolina.

 

Erosion Control FAQs

Answers to the questions we get asked most about erosion control work in Mecklenburg County and central North Carolina. Anything not covered here, call us on (336) 596-5573.

How much does it cost?

Every site is different, so there is no honest flat rate to quote. We come out, look at the job in person and give you a straight number before anything starts — free, and with no obligation to use us.

How do I know if I need erosion control?

The usual signs are soil washing away after rain, bare patches where grass will not hold, exposed roots, gullies forming, or a bank or shoreline that keeps giving ground each season.

Do you install seawalls?

Yes — seawalls for lakes and for ponds, and shoreline stabilization where a bank is being cut back by the water.

What happens after the fix goes in?

We grade and seed behind the work, because bare ground is what starts the problem again. The repair is not finished until the ground around it is holding.

What equipment do you use?

Caterpillar equipment and other heavy machinery. We are owner-operated, so the person who comes out to quote your job is the one running the machine on it.

What areas do you cover?

We are based in Lexington and work across Davidson County and central North Carolina — Winston-Salem, High Point, Thomasville, Asheboro, Denton, Kernersville, Clemmons, Mocksville, Advance, Salisbury, Concord, Mooresville, Cornelius, Davidson and the Lake Norman area, plus the communities around them.
