Dam Mowing & Maintenance, LLC
The largest enemy of any earthen dam is erosion; external or internal, both can have devastating consequences. The best protection is a healthy stand of shallow-rooted native grasses. Regular mowing promotes a dense cover of grassy vegetation that will help protect from surface erosion and does not allow brambles and trees to become established. Trees, brush, and vines can hide a dam embankment making inspections difficult, obscuring hazardous animal activity which can lead to internal erosion, and allow serious problems to be developing undetected. Often dam failure is thought of as a sudden event, when in reality the problem may have been occurring over a long period of time and gone unnoticed.
Why choose us?
- We have the most ideal equipment to mow slopes safely without damaging turf to maintain your dam with superior quality results. We also have tough-cut mowers to manage briars, brambles, and woody vegetation.

- Close attention is given to conditions on and around the dam for signs of any underlying issues that may be occurring, and provide owners & operators with a report of any unusual conditions that were observed. In many cases, we can provide corrective action and work collaboratively with your engineer and Virginia DCR's regional engineers.
