Stormwater BMP Inspections: A System-Based Approach to Performance, Compliance, and Risk Reduction
A well-executed BMP inspection is not a cursory site walk or a box-checking exercise. It is a structured evaluation of hydraulic performance, structural integrity, and ecological condition across the entire stormwater system.
Stormwater BMP Maintenance: Turning Infrastructure Into Long-Term Assets
Stormwater BMP maintenance services that prevent erosion, restore function, and protect long-term property value through system-based solutions.
Erosion Control Program for Golf Superintendents (Part 2)
Erosion control program for golf courses built for superintendents. Engineered, agnostic solutions that protect playability, aesthetics, and budgets.
Introducing New Programs Designed to Remove the Stormwater Burden From Your Shoulders (Part 1)
We’re Proud to Introduce the stormwater offload program for property managers and the erosion control program for golf superintendents.
Why Sustainable Plantings Are the Future of Stormwater Compliance
We believe sustainable plantings are not just a nice visual upgrade; they’re an essential piece of long-term compliance.
Why Healthy Stormwater Ponds Protect our Waterways
We’re incredibly proud of Joseph Garavelli for being featured in Stormwater Solutions Magazine with his article, “Until It’s Over the Weir: Why Healthy Stormwater Ponds Protect Our Waterways.” Read it here!
Why Efficiency is Important in Stormwater Management
We’ve built a streamlined, results-driven process that moves with purpose, without cutting corners.
Why Practical Stormwater Care Matters
Our job isn’t to turn a straightforward issue into a major construction project. It’s to listen, assess, and deliver the most effective, practical solution for the site.
Why Outfall Maintenance Matters During Major Rain Events
By prioritizing routine inspections and cleanouts, communities can safeguard their stormwater systems, reduce liability, and maintain compliance.
Smart Pond Management on a Budget
By instead investing steadily in erosion control, inspection, and vegetation management, you avoid those financial shocks and keep the pond in compliance year after year.
A Look at Ei’s Free Pond Consultation
Our free stormwater pond consultations are designed to give you real, actionable insight into the health of your pond.
Ei’s Promise
Honesty and quality over everything. That’s the Ecological Improvements promise.
When It Rains, Where Does The Water Go?
What’s less obvious is that these features aren’t just “drains” or “holding ponds”; they are living systems that protect our water quality, reduce flooding, and sustain the natural balance of our environment.
What to Do When Your Pond Has Exposed Roots
Exposed roots along your stormwater pond are a sign of erosion. Let Ecological Improvements help you solve the problem.
What It Means When Ecological Improvements Shows Up to Your Community
When you see our trucks pull in and our team step onto your property, you can breathe easier knowing that your worries about erosion, flooding, or stormwater compliance are being taken care of.
The Teamwork Culture at Ei
Every project, every inspection, every solution we deliver is built on collaboration, trust, and the understanding that one hand always washes the other.
Why Pond Health Matters
The best time to protect what flows over the weir is before it happens. Regular inspections, sediment removal, and bank stabilization through native plantings are essential steps in protecting your pond.
Wildlife & Ecosystems of Stormwater Ponds
Ponds become magnets for wildlife, acting as both a refuge and a resource. Understanding the life they sustain can help us better appreciate their role in our communities and the environment.
The Journey of Water
Stormwater doesn’t just disappear; it travels from ponds to creeks, then to rivers, reservoirs, and penetrates aquifers supplying wells, connecting every site to the water we drink and the ecosystems we depend upon.
How Do I Get The Grass To Grow On My Site Or Pond Bank?
In South Carolina’s challenging climate, choosing the right grass and planting technique is vital for quick, resilient soil stabilization and long‑term site performance. Strong turf not only prevents erosion and improves water infiltration but also promotes compliance with state regulations and long‑term site resilience.
