Underwood & Associates, Inc. is committed to combining the needs of a developing society with an adjusting environment by restoring native ecosystems through our regenerative philosophy. Our Design/Build process and our nature-based approach empower us to embrace the energies found in nature - rather than armoring against them- in order to truly restore our waterways and ensure their resiliency over time.
Underwood & Associates has been developing methods and techniques to restore and re-integrate watershed ecosystems into the human occupied landscape since 1990. U&A invented and has subsequently been the leader in research, development, education, and construction of Sand Seepage Wetlands (SSW), integrated streams and wetlands, Regenerative Stream Channel (RSC), and Coastal Plain Outfall (CPO) systems. Throughout the past three decades, we have developed a regenerative and holistic approach to stream, wetland, and shoreline restoration. By integrating all aspects of our design and construction capabilities with our in-depth understanding of water cycles and ecosystem processes, we have created a world-class system designed to restore degraded ecosystems, wetlands, streams, and stormwater systems.
