Stormwater Management & Site Services in Brunswick & St. Simons, GA
BMP maintenance, erosion control, drainage repair, and stormwater compliance for the Golden Isles, from the coastal experts at AUE Land.
The Golden Isles have serious stormwater challenges, and almost no one serving them.
Brunswick, St. Simons Island, Sea Island, and Jekyll Island sit in one of Georgia's most environmentally sensitive coastal zones. Glynn County's stormwater ordinance and Georgia EPD regulations require property owners to maintain their stormwater systems, control erosion, and protect adjacent marshlands and waterways.
The challenges here are distinct from inland Georgia:
- Barrier island hydrology - St. Simons and Sea Island face the same tidal drainage, salt exposure, and limited-elevation challenges as Hilton Head Island
- Marsh setback requirements - development near coastal marshlands is regulated under Georgia's Coastal Marshlands Protection Act, adding complexity to any drainage or erosion work
- Coastal flooding - low elevation, king tides, and storm surge make stormwater system performance critical, not optional
- Aging resort infrastructure - many of the island communities were built decades ago with stormwater systems that are now at or past their design life
Despite these challenges, the Brunswick and Golden Isles market has virtually no companies that specialize in stormwater management. Property managers cobble together solutions from general contractors and landscapers who lack the equipment and expertise for engineered stormwater work.
AUE Land fills that gap. We are a dedicated stormwater and site services company based in Bluffton, SC. We already work on barrier island properties throughout Hilton Head. St. Simons presents the same challenges, and we bring proven solutions.
What we do for Golden Isles properties.
Stormwater BMP Inspection & Maintenance
Annual inspections, sediment removal, outlet structure repair, vegetation management, and compliance documentation for retention ponds, detention basins, and bioretention systems throughout Brunswick, St. Simons Island, and Glynn County.
Erosion Control & Shoreline Stabilization
Pond bank restoration, slope repair, riprap installation, living shoreline techniques, and native plantings. Barrier island properties on St. Simons and Sea Island face the same erosion pressures as Hilton Head. We bring that experience to the Golden Isles.
Grading & Drainage Correction
Swale reshaping, ditch maintenance, site regrading, and tidal drainage management. Coastal flooding and low elevation make proper grading critical for Brunswick and island properties where every inch of elevation matters.
Storm Drainage Infrastructure
Catch basin repair, storm pipe replacement, outfall rehabilitation, and system cleaning. Salt exposure and tidal cycling accelerate infrastructure deterioration on barrier island properties, requiring more frequent maintenance than inland systems.
Emergency Repair
Post-storm washout repair, slope failure response, outfall collapse stabilization, and emergency grading. When coastal storms impact the Golden Isles, AUE Land mobilizes from Bluffton with our own equipment.
Properties we serve in the Golden Isles area.
Resort Communities & Private Clubs
St. Simons Island, Sea Island, and Jekyll Island are home to high-end resort communities and private clubs with significant stormwater infrastructure. These properties demand a level of care and professionalism that matches their standard, and currently have few local options for specialized stormwater services.
HOAs & Residential Communities
Brunswick and Glynn County have seen steady residential growth with planned communities that include retention ponds, detention basins, and engineered drainage systems. These BMPs require ongoing maintenance that most landscaping companies aren't equipped to provide.
Golf Courses
The Golden Isles corridor has some of Georgia's most prestigious golf courses. We provide drainage correction, cart path erosion repair, pond bank stabilization, and stormwater compliance. All scheduled around course operations to minimize disruption to play.
Commercial & Municipal Properties
Retail centers, hospitality properties, and municipal infrastructure in Brunswick and on the islands require stormwater maintenance under Georgia EPD regulations. We provide the inspections, repairs, and documentation that keep commercial properties compliant.
The only dedicated stormwater contractor targeting the Golden Isles.
Right now, if you manage a property on St. Simons or in Brunswick and need stormwater work done, your options are limited to general contractors who treat it as a side job or companies dispatched from Savannah, Jacksonville, or Atlanta. Nobody is focused on this market.
AUE Land is. We are a stormwater and site services company. It is all we do. We bring our own heavy equipment, our own crews, and direct experience working on barrier island properties in the Lowcountry. The challenges on St. Simons are the same ones we solve on Hilton Head every week: tidal drainage, salt-damaged infrastructure, marsh-adjacent erosion, and aging BMPs that need rehabilitation, not just mowing.
