Providing Erosion Prevention Throughout Central Minnesota

Exterior Designs of Alexandria has been designing and installing erosion control solutions for nearly two decades.

Based in Minnesota, most of our clientele immediately think of lakeshores when it comes to erosion control — and they aren’t wrong. But, while lakeshores do make up a portion of our erosion control projects, they are not the only places that can benefit from our erosion control measures.

As a residential and commercial landscaping contractor, Exterior Designs provides erosion control solutions for all areas of your yard — including steep grades, natural drainage paths, areas prone to poor vegetation growth, high-traffic areas, lakeshores, and more. When it comes to erosion control we are able to draw upon and implement a number of our professional services:

  • Shoreline Rip Rap (lakes, rivers, streams, creeks, and ponds)
  • Retaining Walls
  • Straw Mulching
  • Light Grading

What is erosion control?

Erosion control is any practice that protects the soil surface, preventing soil particles from being detached and washing away by rainfall or wind.
