MANAGEMENT

A Legacy of Stormwater Expertise
We are a family-owned business with decades of experience managing erosion control and stormwater channeling across North Carolina. From highway grading projects on the outskirts of Charlotte to landfill expansions near Statesville and retail park developments in Mooresville, we’ve built an extensive catalog of successful site-work jobs. Over the years, we’ve learned exactly what it takes to mitigate the destructive power of water on a construction site—whether that means sculpting swales, installing retention ponds, or armoring channels against high-flow events. Our long track record of projects, big and small, proves we know how to keep sites stable, safe, and on schedule.

Anticipating Challenges Before They Arise
Because we’ve faced stormwater issues in every terrain—from the rolling hills north of Mooresville to the tighter urban corridors around Charlotte—we know how to foresee potential problems before they surface. We design and install drainage systems with built-in redundancies, creating solutions for issues that don’t even exist yet. By modeling peak runoff, testing soil permeability, and pre-emptively reinforcing vulnerable slopes, we neutralize erosion threats and keep construction timelines intact. Our proactive approach means fewer costly delays and a smoother build from start to finish.

The Perfect Balance of Pride and Capability
Although our fleet and expertise are substantial enough to tackle large-scale stormwater projects in Statesville and beyond, we remain small enough to know every crew member by name. That personal pride shows in the care we take on each job—no detail is too small, no challenge too great. We pair our hands-on dedication with the horsepower of heavy-duty equipment and seasoned project managers, giving us the capability to do everything in-house. At Dirt Ops, you get the best of both worlds: the intimacy and commitment of a family business, plus the muscle and know-how to handle any stormwater management task flawlessly.

SURFACE CONTOURING

Surface contouring is the art of sculpting the land’s subtle ridges and depressions to control stormwater flow within a graded site. At Dirt Ops, we use precise contour cuts to channel runoff toward swales and retention areas, slowing water velocity, minimizing erosion, and preventing water from pooling in unwanted spots. By fine-tuning the land’s micro-topography during grading, we ensure rainwater is managed efficiently on-site, protecting both the development and the surrounding environment.

SLOPE STABILIZATION

Slope stabilization is essential in stormwater management, as unchecked runoff can erode graded slopes and undermine site integrity. At Dirt Ops, we employ techniques like hydroseeding, erosion-control blankets, geotextile reinforcement, and engineered retaining structures to secure slopes and minimize soil displacement. By integrating these measures into our grading plans, we control stormwater flows, prevent erosion, and ensure long-term stability for every project.

SEDIMENT CONTROL BARRIERS

Sediment control barriers are critical tools in our stormwater management arsenal, designed to intercept and trap soil particles before they leave the construction site. At Dirt Ops, we install silt fences, sediment logs, and fiber rolls along perimeter lines and around sensitive areas, anchoring each barrier to the proper grade to maximize effectiveness. By slowing water flow and capturing suspended solids, these barriers prevent downstream pollution and protect adjacent land. Proper placement, maintenance, and inspection of sediment control barriers ensure our grading work remains compliant, sustainable, and environmentally responsible.
