state and regulatory agencies.

- Landslide-Prone Areas
- Liquefaction-Prone Areas

- Steep Slopes
- Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas
Put our experience and knowledge to work for you. If you've experienced flood damage
and need flood restoration, Environmental Construction, Inc. has the ability to
repair the damage and service a variety of environmental management concerns. We
value the Pacific Northwest wildlife, streams, and wetlands. It is always our focus
to ensure that the environment is maintained. The integrity of our resources is
our top priority.
Flood Prevention & Restoration
Environmental Construction has the expertise and equipment necessary to rebuild
and repair landscapes and streams after a flood. In Northwest Washington, flooding
is a regular occurrence. Let us help you be prepared for our rainy season by installing
proper drainage systems and hillside landscaping.
Stream Relocation
Stream Relocation
is a delicate process. We work closely with Certified Environmental Consultants
who understand Department of Fisheries and other government agencies to ensure proper
relocation efforts.
Coir Logs & Silt Fencing
These are two product often used in stream restoration and during a landscape project.
Coir logs are typically made from coconut fiber and are permanently placed above
stream banks to control sediment intrusion. Silt fencing is a temporary barrier
installed to prevent sediment runoff while the site is under development. Silt fencing
is generally removed upon project completion
Urban Wildlife Habitats
We create urban wildlife habitats for those individuals who enjoy attracting wildlife
into their yards. This can involve leaving large tree trunks in place, so as to
provide food for birds as they decay over time, and typically involves a water source.
Permits
Obtaining proper permit before starting a job is critically important to assure
your efforts go smoothly. We will assist in this process. Permits can be costly
and may cause a delay.
