EROSION/SLOPE STABILIZATION

Erosion Mats & Blankets
For those situations where hydro seeding alone is not practical or significant and or the weather conditions dictate another approach. Erosion blankets are the answer. Straw is woven into a netting fiber and rolled over the desired area much like laying carpet. The fiber is secured in place to the ground using staple type nails. there are a range of blanket types and sizes to accommodate any project. We can supply and install any combination desired.

Silt Fence
Sediment runoff can be an issue with some erosion sites and situations. Installation of fabric silt fencing can reduce this issue. Designed to allow water to pass through while retain the soil sediment is the idea. Silt fencing can be reinforced in high water volume areas with straw bails as needed. Silt fencing is an easy way to prevent sediment discharged from the site and a good way of being proactive in sediment run off.

Straw waddles
In situations with long step slops or areas that have no or little natural obstacles to divert or slow down water flow or sediment run off. Straw waddles can be installed. A waddle consists of straw formed flex able tubes that are secured in place with wooden stakes. Designed to break up fast moving water flows and retain sediment from going places not so desired.
