Erosion Control
What is Erosion?
The geological process where soil and rock are transported from one location to another through natural forces such as wind and water.
What is Erosion Control?
The practice of controlling water and wind erosion through mimicking natural processes. Once we assess your property to figure out where and how the erosion is taking place, we can develop a plan for Erosion Control. Having proper Erosion Control on your property can help protect you from flooding.
Urban Areas and Erosion Control
Erosion issues are common in urban areas because of land clearing and land development. During this process all native vegetation is removed in order to make room for construction. Vegetation is what prevents soil erosion, so when it's all removed, there is nothing stopping the soil from washing away whenever it rains.
Erosion Control: Natural vs Unnatural
Often time, homeowners are advised to seek Erosion Control through expensive and unnecessary means such as bringing in back-fill and building barriers into the property.
We recommend a more cost effective and environmentally friendly approach to Erosion Control through the planting of various vegetation that help reduce erosion and stabilize the soil. We recommend having shade trees, understory trees, shrubs, and forbs to help create a healthy habitat.
