ERG SERVICES

Native Vegetation Restoration

ERG crews use mechanical methods to remove invasive vegetation and restore native vegetation to appropriate density and diversity. ERG works with local growers to collect and propagate plants near restoration areas to prevent genetic dilution.

Stream Restoration

ERG principles have extensive experience removing barriers and stabilizing streambanks that disrupt the natural functions of a stream and its performance of critical system services, such as flood control, fish migration, and wildlife habitat. Degraded stream functions could contribute to erosion that cause excessive sediments and pollutants to degrade water quality. ERG can provide a team that will take your stream restoration project from concept to fruition including long term monitoring and maintenance.

Biological and Water Quality Monitoring

ERG can help you design a monitoring program that will satisfy regulatory agencies before, during and after construction activities. We learn as much as we can about our customers to create landscape designs that reflect their taste, lifestyle, and personality. Our background in landscape architecture and ecological design ensure results that are professional looking and functional.

Land Ownership and Regulatory Challenges

ERG principals can assist in the strategic planning of challenges faced with environmentally sensitive natural resource lands, with tools such as conservation land sale solutions or onsite or offsite mitigation needs.
