Erosion Control Services
Protecting Your Site in the Carolinas — And Everything Around It
Protecting Your Project Through Expert Erosion Control
At HGC, erosion control isn’t an afterthought — it’s an essential part of protecting your project, your budget, and the surrounding environment. Before the project begins and land is cleared, our dedicated erosion control team implements strategic measures to ensure sediment stays contained and your site remains compliant and operational.
What is Erosion Control?
Erosion control is a critical part of responsible site preparation, especially in rapidly developing regions like Charlotte and the Carolinas. When rainfall or stormwater runoff displaces soil, it can lead to sediment pollution, property damage, and costly project delays. At Hoopaugh Grading Company, we provide comprehensive erosion control solutions tailored for large-scale construction and grading projects.
From silt fences and sediment basins to outlet control structures and temporary ground cover, our team uses proven best management practices (BMPs) to minimize soil loss and ensure environmental compliance. Whether you’re managing a commercial build, subdivision, or infrastructure project, our erosion control services help protect nearby waterways, preserve the integrity of your site, and keep your project on schedule and in compliance with regulations.
Erosion control is a driving force behind project success. It prevents environmental contamination, protects your timeline, and ensures regulatory compliance. With increased enforcement and third-party inspections, you need experienced professionals from day one.

Our team is trained to meet and exceed local, state, and federal compliance standards to protect your project and the environment.
How does HGC ensure erosion control is compliant and effective?
Our in-house erosion control team works closely with project managers and inspectors to stay ahead of compliance. We take a proactive approach with routine maintenance checks, tracking weather patterns, and site walks after rain events to avoid costly delays or violations. We don’t just check the box – we aim to set the standard.
When should erosion control measures be installed during a project?
Erosion control is one of the first steps on-site. Our team meets on site to kick off the project and mobilize crews before clearing begins to ensure the site is protected from the start and remains compliant throughout the project lifecycle.
How does erosion control tie into the rest of HGC’s sitework services?
Erosion control is fully integrated into our sitework operations, not treated as an afterthought. Because our in-house erosion control team works with our project teams from day one, we coordinate installation and maintenance alongside grading, utilities, and stormwater work – saving time, mitigating risk, and keeping your project moving forward.

Does HGC have internship opportunities?
Yes! We offer two internship paths to young adults seeking a career in the construction industry.
Our Dig In high school internship is a 6-week program built for high school students and recent graduates who are at least 18 years of age. This program provides invaluable exposure to various aspects of construction, helping young adults better understand their career paths while learning the basics of the sitework industry.
Our college internships provide customized, real-world experience that bring their curriculum to life. In the beginning, we work with each student to map out a customized internship, taking into consideration interests, past experience, as well as previous and future academic studies. Our goal is to provide a structured environment where interns are mentored, coached, upskilled, and developed in a way that allows them to reach their full potential.
