Installation & Vegetation Management
Lakeshore and streambank restorations
In the flood-prone Red River Valley, our shoreline restoration work strengthens local waterways and surrounding ecosystems. Through native buffer conversions, erosion repair, and in-stream structures, we control flow, improve water quality, and protect both the land and nearby communities.
Wetland restorations
In the greater Fargo area, our team of Certified Minnesota Wetland Professionals leads projects that protect and enhance vital wetland ecosystems. Through expert grading, tile breaking, plug removal, and seeding, we ensure every restoration effort supports long-term ecological health and resilience.
Rain garden and infiltration basins
In a region shaped by frequent flooding, our stormwater management solutions help communities and landscapes adapt with resilience. We design and maintain biofiltration systems and advanced treatment practices that manage runoff, improve water quality, and reduce flood impacts across the Red River Valley.
Bioengineering and erosion control
All MNL construction superintendents are Certified Construction Site Managers, skilled in addressing the region’s complex water management needs. From managing on-site SWPPPs to installing large-scale erosion control systems, we ensure every project is completed efficiently and effectively.
Native seeding and planting
Rooted in the unique plant composition of the Great Plains, we restore agricultural and low-diversity lands with deep-rooted native species that stabilize soil, store water, and support wildlife. Using locally sourced seed mixes, native prairie sod, and expert installation of plugs, trees, and shrubs, we create resilient landscapes that thrive in the region’s dynamic conditions.
Forestry management
Serving the Fargo area and the timber-rich landscapes of eastern Minnesota, our team provides comprehensive forestry management and restoration services. With decades of experience, we focus on invasive species control, forest revegetation, selective tree felling, and forestry mowing to maintain and restore healthy, resilient forest ecosystems.
