From slopes to driveways and disturbed land, Hilliland Contracting identifies the source of erosion and implements lasting solutions to keep your property safe, stable, and ready for use.
Erosion is one of those problems that starts small and compounds quickly. A little washout on a driveway, a low spot that collects and channels water, a bare slope left exposed after clearing — left unaddressed, each of these gets worse every time it rains. In parts of South and Central Texas, where storms can be heavy and the soil runs from sandy loam to hard clay depending on where you are standing, that process can move fast.
Hilliland Contracting helps residential property owners, farmers, ranchers, and commercial property owners address erosion problems before they become serious ones. We look at where the erosion is coming from, what is driving it, and what needs to be done to slow or stop it in a way that holds up over time.
For homeowners and rural property owners, erosion tends to show up in places that get hit hardest by runoff — driveways that wash out after every heavy rain, slopes behind a home or outbuilding that are slowly losing ground, bare areas left after construction or land clearing that have not yet established cover, and drainage channels that keep cutting deeper into the yard or pasture.
These are not just cosmetic problems. Unchecked erosion undercuts driveways, damages foundations, silts up ponds, and degrades the land itself. The earlier the issue is addressed, the less costly and disruptive the fix tends to be.
We work directly with homeowners and rural landowners throughout the Seguin area. When you call us, we come out to the property, walk the affected areas with you, and give you a straight answer on what is causing the problem and what it will take to correct it.
Commercial properties, construction sites, and developed parcels face erosion challenges that are often larger in scale and faster-moving than what residential properties deal with. Graded lots that have been stripped of vegetation, large paved areas that concentrate and redirect stormwater, and disturbed sites waiting on the next phase of development are all vulnerable to rapid erosion if drainage and soil stabilization are not addressed properly.
Hilliland Contracting provides erosion control solutions for commercial property owners and site managers within our service area. Whether you have a parcel that is actively experiencing erosion or you are preparing a site and want to get drainage right from the start, we can assess the conditions and recommend an approach that fits the scope of the project.
Rainwater running along the driveway instead of away from it can create deep ruts and washouts over time, making access difficult and unsafe.
Cleared or disturbed slopes lose topsoil as runoff carries it downhill, gradually degrading the land’s stability and usability.
Natural drainage channels can concentrate water flow, cutting into surrounding land and worsening erosion if left unmanaged.
Areas where water collects can become boggy or soft, preventing proper use of the land and potentially causing long-term soil damage.
Each erosion issue has a different root cause—undersized culverts, poor grading, or lack of ground cover—and requires a tailored solution for lasting results.
We offer free estimates on every job. There is no pressure and no guesswork — just an honest look at what your project requires and what it will take to get it done.

Hilliland Contracting is based in Seguin, TX and takes on projects within a 50-mile radius. That covers a wide stretch of South and Central Texas — from the western edges of the Hill Country to communities east of San Antonio. If your property is within our service area, we want to hear from you.
We work directly with property owners to ensure every project gets our full attention. We also handle commercial erosion projects. You talk to us, we come out, and we get the job done.
If you are seeing ruts, gullies, or bare patches that are growing larger over time, soil building up in places it should not be, or areas of your property where standing water is creating soft ground long after a rain, those are signs worth looking at. Erosion tends to get worse gradually, and the earlier you address it the less expensive the fix tends to be.
It depends on the cause and the site conditions. Some erosion problems can be solved with a drainage correction or regrading that, once done, holds up well for years. Others, particularly on steep slopes or in high-flow drainage areas, benefit from ongoing maintenance. We will give you an honest answer about what is realistic for your specific situation.
Most likely it is a drainage problem that looks like an erosion problem. If water is running down or across the road surface, regrading alone will not fix it — the water will just cut new channels. The right fix usually involves improving drainage with culverts, ditches, or a change in grade. We look at this kind of issue regularly and can assess what is actually driving the washouts on your property.
Often, yes. Erosion problems frequently come up in connection with land clearing, driveway work, or site preparation — anywhere the ground has been disturbed and vegetation cover has been reduced. If you are planning a clearing or driveway project and want to think ahead about drainage and erosion, it is worth bringing up during the estimate conversation so we can plan the project accordingly.
Give us a call or fill out our contact form and describe what you are seeing. If a quick conversation suggests a site visit makes sense, we will set one up. Early intervention after a storm damage event is usually the most cost-effective approach, before additional rains can compound the damage.
