Drainage and Erosion Control

Drainage and Erosion Control in Bentonville

Standing water and eroding soil are grading problems in disguise, and both get worse every time it rains. Aquaaid-international designs and builds drainage that moves runoff off your property on purpose, using positive slopes, swales, French drains, and detention features sized to how much water the lot actually sheds. On larger sites we add the silt fence, inlet protection, and erosion blankets that keep sediment out of the storm system.

Why Drainage Comes First

A soft spot near the 72712 area or a slab that keeps taking on water is rarely a foundation flaw. It is water with nowhere to go. Fix the grade and the drainage, and the symptoms upstream usually disappear. Ignore it, and a small washout off Central Avenue becomes a structural repair.

Our Process

We walk the site to see where water collects and where it wants to travel, then cut positive slopes away from structures and route runoff to a safe outlet with swales or French drains. Where volume is high, we shape a detention basin with keyed embankments and riprap. Sites disturbing an acre or more get a SWPPP and the sediment controls the NPDES permit requires.
