We loved working with Sam and having him build this wheelchair ramp! He came in under other bids in time frame and cost. Great communicating when he would be on site and when different materials would be available. Respectful of our home and cleaned up really well at the end of the job. Sherman contracting is our new go-to for any contracting job.

Erosion control construction in Whatcom County, WA
Sherman General Contracting LLC provides erosion control construction across Whatcom County, WA, protecting properties from soil loss and runoff damage.
Expert Erosion control construction in Whatcom County, WA
Erosion control construction is a critical service for property owners across Whatcom County, WA. The region's heavy seasonal rainfall, silt loam soils, and sloped terrain create real risk of soil movement, sediment runoff, and slope failure on both residential and commercial sites. Sherman General Contracting LLC works with property owners, builders, and developers to install the right combination of erosion control measures for each site's conditions. This includes perimeter protection, slope stabilization, and sediment capture systems sized to the grade and soil type of your specific property. Whatcom County's watershed regulations add another layer of complexity, requiring erosion and sediment control measures to be in place before and during any clearing or grading activity. We approach every project with the integrity and craftsmanship that has guided our work since we opened. If your site has exposed soil, active grading, or a slope that moves water toward neighboring property or a waterway, contact Sherman General Contracting LLC to discuss your erosion control needs.
What's included
- Exposed soil is stabilized before rainfall carries it onto neighboring property or into local waterways
- Slopes are protected against the shallow translational slides common on Whatcom County's steeper terrain
- Sediment is captured at the site perimeter, keeping storm drains and drainage channels clear
- Properly installed erosion control measures support site compliance with Whatcom County's erosion and sediment control requirements
- Long-term slope stability reduces the risk of costly soil movement or property damage after construction is complete
- Work is completed with genuine craftsmanship and integrity, so measures hold up through the wet Pacific Northwest season

FAQ
Erosion control construction FAQ
Common questions about erosion control construction in Whatcom County, WA.
Yes, if your property has exposed soil, active grading, or a slope that drains toward a waterway or neighboring lot, erosion control measures are needed. Whatcom County requires erosion and sediment control to be in place before clearing or grading activity begins.
It typically involves a combination of perimeter barriers, slope cover, and sediment capture systems matched to your site's grade and soil type. The right mix depends on how steep the slope is, how much soil is exposed, and where runoff flows.
Yes, we work on residential build sites throughout Whatcom County where grading and clearing expose soil to rainfall and runoff. We install the measures your site needs to protect the soil and keep sediment on your property.
Whatcom County receives heavy seasonal rainfall and has silt loam soils that move easily when disturbed and exposed. Slopes in the area are also prone to shallow soil movement when surface water concentrates and saturates the ground.
Yes, we serve property owners and contractors in Skagit County, Snohomish County, and San Juan County in addition to Whatcom County. Contact us to discuss your site's location and erosion control needs.
Soil leaving your site and entering surface water is a violation of local and state regulations in Whatcom County. Beyond regulatory risk, uncontrolled runoff can damage neighboring property and degrade nearby waterways.
