Slope erosion is a drainage and soil mechanics problem that compounds each season without intervention. Surface loss exposes subsoil. Drainage systems fail or redirect into the slope face. Lateral pressure on adjacent foundations increases with each rain and snowmelt cycle.
EcoSpect bonds a permanent structural shell to the slope surface, stopping active erosion, stabilizing grades, and protecting adjacent structures without excavation.

Are you experiencing active erosion on a hillside, failing drainage on a sloped property, or cracking in foundations adjacent to a grade? EcoSpect offers professional gunite slope stabilization across the Finger Lakes region. Gunite application addresses active soil movement, exposed subsoil, and lateral pressure on adjacent structures.
Our services are tailored to your slope geometry, drainage pattern, and the proximity of structures at risk downslope.
Most people ask why gunite instead of retaining walls or landscaping for slope erosion. We apply gunite because it bonds directly to the slope surface and stops active movement without excavation or independent structural installation.
Gunite has been proven on residential grades, agricultural embankments, and highway slopes in high-erosion environments for decades. Give us a call today at (855) DRY-BSMT.
Slope erosion becomes structural when it begins affecting drainage systems, adjacent foundations, or the load-bearing capacity of soil supporting structures. Surface erosion that exposes subsoil changes drainage patterns, redirecting water into the slope face and increasing saturation. Saturated soil exerts increased lateral pressure on any foundation or structure downslope.
Once erosion is visible on the surface, subsurface soil movement has typically been underway for longer than the visible damage suggests.
Gunite is bonded across the slope surface under pneumatic pressure. The application creates a continuous structural shell that prevents surface water from penetrating the soil, eliminating the saturation cycle that drives active erosion.
The shell also stabilizes the grade, stopping the soil displacement that was increasing lateral pressure on adjacent structures. Coverage extends beyond the visible damage boundary on every EcoSpect project to address subsurface erosion that has not yet broken the surface.
No. Gunite is applied directly to the slope surface without removing soil or regrading. This is a primary advantage over retaining wall installation, which requires excavation, footing placement, and significant site disturbance. Gunite slope stabilization works with the existing grade and stops movement at the surface where it originates.
Application time depends on the slope area, angle, and access conditions. Most residential and agricultural slope projects are completed in one to two days. Highway embankment and commercial slope projects vary by scope.
EcoSpect maps drainage patterns and active movement zones before application and provides a project timeline during the assessment.
Yes. Gunite application stops active erosion. The surface must be prepared and any loose material removed before application, but the presence of active erosion does not prevent gunite from being applied.
EcoSpect evaluates the active movement zones during the assessment and adjusts coverage and preparation to address the conditions present at the time of application.
A retaining wall is an independent structure installed at the base of a slope to catch or hold soil. It does not stop erosion from occurring above it. Gunite slope stabilization bonds directly to the slope face and stops the erosion at the source.
It preserves the existing grade, requires no excavation, and addresses the drainage and infiltration cycle driving the erosion rather than intercepting the result of it.
Gunite slope stabilization is a permanent application. The bonded shell does not erode, shift, or degrade through normal weather cycles. The same rain and snowmelt cycles that were driving erosion now run across a stabilized concrete surface rather than penetrating and saturating the soil.
EcoSpect covers the full slope face including areas where subsurface erosion is present but not yet visible, which is what makes the application permanent rather than a temporary hold.
Residential, commercial, or public infrastructure, our team scopes the project and specifies the solution.
