• ·Low Impact Construction – By utilizing smaller, tracked and low ground pressure equipment, GES can provide excavation, grading, and other land improvement services that result in precision construction without compaction or unnecessary disturbance.

GES can provide turn-key services ranging from planning, design, layout, construction, monitoring, inspection, and maintenance of your storm water project. Project scopes may range from residence-sized rain gardens to subdivision scale lake and pond construction. GES has the knowledge and ability to manage your storm water as an asset rather than a liability.

GES has the advantage of understanding the complex science behind the need for effective conservation structures.
