About F&F Stormwater Solutions

15 Years in the Field
Before the First Invoice

F&F Stormwater Solutions was founded in October 2023, but the expertise behind it goes back to 2008. Johnathan Frey, the company's founder, began his stormwater career in Maryland while the industry's regulatory framework was still taking shape. He spent those early years growing aquatic plants, managing SCMs, and performing installations at a scale that gave him direct experience across the full stormwater lifecycle.

That background gives F&F Stormwater something most newer firms simply do not have: field-level understanding of how these systems are designed, how they fail, and what it takes to fix them properly. Johnathan holds certifications in SCM inspection, Confined Space entry, and Aquatic Herbicide application, and performs work that most contractors in the region are not equipped to handle.

F&F Stormwater was built on straightforward commitments: do all work in-house, respond to every call and email the same day, price jobs fairly, and deliver documentation your regulators accept. The clients are commercial property owners, banks, HOAs, municipalities, engineers, and chain store operators who need a contractor that shows up and communicates clearly.

Where We Come From

A Career Built
on Stormwater

The path from 2008 to today was not a straight line. It was ponds, pipes, permits, and 15 years of learning what actually works in the field.

2008
Entered the Stormwater Industry

Began work in Maryland growing aquatic plants and managing stormwater control measures as the industry's regulatory foundation was being built. Early exposure to SCM construction, aquatic plant biology, and the mechanics of stormwater compliance.

2008 , 2023
15 Years of Field Experience

Managed and inspected SCMs across the Mid-Atlantic, performed complex repairs, entered confined spaces, treated aquatic vegetation with licensed herbicides, and developed the technical expertise that most newer firms in this space do not carry. Certifications earned along the way: SCM, Confined Space, Aquatic Herbicide.

October 2023

Credentials

Our Certifications

These certifications are what allow F&F Stormwater to perform work that most stormwater contractors in our region cannot. Each one required training, examination, and ongoing compliance.

SCM Certified

Stormwater Control Measure certification authorizes F&F Stormwater to perform certified annual SCM inspections and produce compliance reports accepted by state and local regulatory authorities across our service area.

Confined Space Certified

OSHA-compliant confined space certification allows our crews to safely enter underground detention vaults, stormbox systems, and other permit-required confined spaces. Most stormwater contractors are not certified for this work.

Aquatic Herbicide Licensed

State-issued Aquatic Herbicide license permits in-house chemical treatment of aquatic vegetation and algae. All treatments performed by licensed applicators using products and methods appropriate for the water body type and regulatory classification.

How We Work

What We Stand For

These are not marketing claims. They are the operating principles every client experiences when they work with F&F Stormwater.

Disciplined

We do not take on work we cannot execute properly. Scopes are defined before work begins, timelines are communicated, and every project gets the same standard of execution regardless of size.

Transparent

Pricing is what it is. You see the scope, the cost, and the timeline before we start. No change orders for work that was always part of the job, and no subcontractor markups hidden in the invoice.

Open Communication

Calls and emails are returned the same day. You will not chase us for a project update or wait days to find out if your compliance report is on track. Communication is part of the job, not an afterthought.

Technically Precise

We are a technical company first. Our certifications, our in-house scope, and our 15+ years of field experience allow us to perform work and produce documentation that most commercial stormwater contractors in our region cannot match.

Responsive

Stormwater compliance has deadlines. NOV responses have regulatory timeframes. We built F&F Stormwater around the premise that clients should never have to chase their contractor when a deadline is approaching.

In-House. Always.

Every person on your site is an F&F Stormwater employee, trained to our standards and accountable to us directly. We do not subcontract. The quality you see on the proposal is the quality you get in the field.

The Team

Who Does the Work

F&F Stormwater operates with certified, in-house crews. No subcontractors. Every team member is trained to our standards and held to the same quality and communication expectations we hold ourselves to. Additional profiles will be added here as the company grows.

Questions

About F&F Stormwater

Common questions about our background, certifications, and how we compare to other stormwater service providers.

About F&F Stormwater
General Knowledge

F&F Stormwater Solutions was founded in October 2023 by a stormwater professional who began his career in Maryland in 2008, when commercial stormwater management regulations were first taking shape in the region. Over 15 years he grew aquatic plants for a large stormwater firm, managed SCMs across multiple sites, and performed hands-on installations. That field-level background is what separates F&F Stormwater from firms built on a business background rather than a technical one.

Subcontracting introduces a layer between the client and the people doing the work. With it comes inconsistent quality, inflated pricing, and diluted accountability. F&F Stormwater was built specifically to avoid that model. Every crew member is trained and certified to our standards, every project is executed by people we are directly responsible for, and every invoice reflects the actual cost of the work rather than a subcontractor markup.

F&F Stormwater holds three specialized certifications: SCM Certification, which authorizes us to perform certified annual inspections and produce regulatory-accepted compliance reports; Confined Space Certification, which allows our crews to safely enter underground detention vaults and other permit-required confined spaces under OSHA standards; and an Aquatic Herbicide License, which permits in-house chemical treatment of aquatic vegetation and algae in stormwater water bodies.

The most important factors are certification (SCM inspection certification is required to produce regulatory-accepted compliance reports), scope capability (can they handle confined space work, herbicide application, and structural repairs in-house?), documentation quality (can they produce reports in the format your jurisdiction accepts?), and communication practices (do they respond quickly and proactively?). Always ask whether the person who inspects your system is the same team who performs any required repairs.

General landscaping and pond maintenance companies typically do not hold SCM inspection certifications, cannot produce regulatory compliance reports, are not authorized to perform confined space entry, and do not carry aquatic herbicide licenses. F&F Stormwater is a specialized stormwater contractor focused entirely on engineered stormwater systems and their regulatory requirements. The distinction matters when your system is inspected and your compliance record is reviewed by a regulator.

Formal commercial stormwater management programs began taking shape in the late 1990s and early 2000s, driven by Phase II of the federal NPDES stormwater permit program, which extended requirements to smaller municipalities and construction sites. By 2008, when F&F Stormwater's founder entered the industry, states like Maryland were developing some of the most comprehensive SCM maintenance and inspection requirements in the country. NC, VA, SC, and DC have continued to strengthen their programs significantly since, with annual inspection requirements now standard for most commercial SCMs.
