Commercial Stormwater Management & Control Measures
Commercial stormwater management and control services throughout the Southeast, helping protect commercial and industrial properties with over 40 years of industry experience.
Protect Your Property. Stay Compliant. Manage Stormwater the Right Way.
For commercial and industrial properties, stormwater isn’t just a weather issue, it’s a liability issue. Unmanaged runoff can flood parking lots, erode landscapes, damage building foundations, and put your property out of compliance with local and state regulations. North American Lawn & Landscape has been helping commercial clients across the Carolina manage stormwater challenges for over 40 years.
Why Stormwater Management Matters for Commercial Properties
Commercial and industrial sites are particularly vulnerable to stormwater problems. Large areas of impervious surface – parking lots, rooftops, driveways, loading docks – generate significant runoff with every rainfall event. That water has to go somewhere, and without properly designed and maintained stormwater control measures, it can go somewhere you don’t want it to.
The consequences of poor stormwater management include:
- Flooding of parking areas, walkways, and building entries
- Soil erosion and landscape deterioration
- Sediment and pollutant discharge into local waterways
- Damage to pavement, foundations, and drainage infrastructure
- Non-compliance with NCDEQ and local municipal stormwater regulations
The good news? With the right partner and the right systems in place, these risks are manageable, and your property can stay protected season after season.
Our Stormwater Control Measure Services
We work with property managers, developers, and facility directors to assess, install, and maintain stormwater control measures tailored to the specific conditions of each site. Our services include:
- Detention & retention pond maintenance – routine inspection, vegetation management, inlet clearing, and erosion repair to keep your ponds functioning as designed and compliant with county regulations
- Bioswale installation & maintenance – vegetated channels that slow, filter, and redirect runoff away from critical areas, ideal along parking lots, driveways, and access roads
- Rain garden design & installation – shallow planted depressions that capture and filter runoff naturally, adding green infrastructure value to your property
- Erosion control measures – silt fencing, erosion control blankets, sediment basins, and vegetative buffers that protect your site during construction, grading, and landscaping projects
- Drainage assessment & grading – site-level evaluation of topography, existing drainage infrastructure, and runoff flow to identify problems and recommend solutions
- Native & adaptive planting – deep-rooted native plantings selected for the Carolinas climate that naturally absorb runoff, reduce erosion, and support long-term stormwater performance
- Inlet & drain maintenance – routine clearing of storm drain inlets and catch basins to prevent blockages and keep systems flowing during heavy rain events
Compliance You Can Count On
Stormwater regulations are enforced at the state and local level, and requirements can vary significantly by municipality, property type, and impervious surface coverage. Staying compliant isn’t a one-time task, it requires ongoing inspection, documentation, and maintenance of your stormwater control measures.
Our team stays current on state and local ordinances across our service areas so you don’t have to. We’ll help make sure your systems are performing as required and that your property is protected when inspectors come knocking.
Integrated with Your Broader Landscape Program
One advantage of working with North American Lawn & Landscape is that stormwater management doesn’t exist in a silo. Our teams understand how your drainage systems, landscape plantings, grading, and maintenance programs all interact, and we design and maintain them with that full picture in mind. That kind of integrated thinking leads to better outcomes and fewer surprises over time.
