Our Services
At Marks, we specialize in restoring and enhancing the natural environment through thoughtful, science-backed construction services. With a focus on stream and wetland ecosystems, we deliver sustainable solutions that balance ecological needs with real-world functionality. Whether we’re reinforcing stream banks, designing wetlands, or managing stormwater runoff, our goal is simple: create spaces that thrive today and protect tomorrow.
Erosion along stream banks can threaten infrastructure, property, and natural habitats. Our stream bank stabilization services are designed to halt this process and restore long-term stability to these sensitive areas. Using a mix of engineered solutions and natural materials—such as rock armoring, live staking, and native vegetation—we protect waterways from further degradation while enhancing their natural beauty and function. These measures not only reduce sedimentation downstream but also improve water quality and preserve habitat for fish and other aquatic life.
Wetland Creation & Enhancement
Wetlands are essential for supporting biodiversity, improving water quality, and managing floodwaters. At Marks, we design and construct new wetlands or revitalize existing ones to maximize their ecological value. Our team works closely with engineers, ecologists, and local agencies to ensure each project meets regulatory standards while supporting native plant and wildlife communities. From excavation and grading to planting and long-term monitoring, we guide every step of the process to ensure the wetland functions as a vibrant, self-sustaining ecosystem for years to come.
Habitat Restoration
Healthy ecosystems are the backbone of a resilient environment. Through our habitat restoration services, we breathe new life into degraded landscapes by reestablishing native plant communities, removing invasive species, and improving soil and water conditions. Whether restoring riparian corridors, upland areas, or wetlands, our work creates the conditions needed for native wildlife to return and flourish. We believe that restoring these habitats doesn’t just benefit the environment—it also enhances community spaces, educational opportunities, and the overall quality of life.
Stormwater Management
Effective stormwater management protects communities and ecosystems alike. Our team designs and builds custom stormwater solutions that reduce flooding, recharge groundwater, and improve water quality. These systems may include retention and detention basins, bioswales, permeable surfaces, and rain gardens—each carefully tailored to the unique needs of the site. By managing runoff at the source and incorporating natural filtration processes, our work helps municipalities, developers, and property owners meet environmental regulations while contributing to the long-term health of the watershed.
Trucking
In addition to excavation, Mark’s Construction offers a fleet of commercial trucks available for hire. We provide reliable hauling services for projects of any size, including soil, equipment transportation, aggregates, and our specialty: size D to A+ riprap hauling.
