Our Services
We’re all about clean water — it’s at the heart of everything we do. We work to protect, restore, and sustain the natural systems that keep our waterways clear and resilient. Our work is built on one simple belief: healthy water creates healthy ecosystems. From erosion control and invasive species management to environmental permitting and compliance, we tackle the challenges that come with protecting our environment. We proudly partner with nonprofits, school districts, builders and developers, government agencies, power companies, property management companies, HOAs, and other local businesses to create practical, lasting solutions that care for our communities.
Stormwater Management
Fast, reliable, and done right — every time. Our full-service stormwater team keeps systems running, sites compliant, and water clean. When issues arise, we’re the first call — and often the last one you’ll need to make.
Ecological & Habitat Restoration
Restoring the places nature calls home. From wetlands and rivers to prairies and oak habitats, our restoration team brings degraded ecosystems back to life with care, science, and local expertise.
Invasive & Noxious Weed Management
Stopping weeds before they take over. Our specialists identify, control, and remove invasive plants — helping all our clients stay compliant and restore the health of their natural spaces.
Erosion Control Solutions
Keeping soil in place and water clean. We install, maintain, and monitor erosion control systems that protect waterways, prevent contamination, and keep every project in environmental compliance.
Environmental Permitting & Compliance
Navigating the rules to stay in compliance. We simplify complex permitting and keep you in good standing with every regulatory agency.

We had a situation where we were short staffed and the invasive and noxious weeds were overwhelming. I knew we had to call in help. Aaron and his team were amazing in helping us out of this situation. Not only were they very timely, the documentation including photos were greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend the ERSM team for any of your invasive and noxious weed needs.

I’ve been working with Aaron Gibson for several years on a number of my properties in Clark County, Washington. His company, ERSM, provides exceptional service. Everyone associated with ERSM is knowledgeable and professional. I am especially impressed by how quickly I receive responses for any emails I send. I’ve actually referred ERSM to several of my colleagues and encouraged them to use ERSM. Highly recommended!
