EROSION CONTROL IN LOUISVILLE

Land Erosion Prevention

Soil erosion is the sweeping of sediments like pebbles, topsoil, and rocks by wind or water. If left unchecked, erosion could deteriorate quality of the soil and expose your property to serious damage. Without vegetation, your property could be exposed to flooding and mudslides. Removal of protective material leaves the soil bare and vulnerable to erosion, so you should consider land erosion prevention measures like straw erosion control. Land erosion prevention may be effective to curb erosion, but what should you do if erosion is already happening? In this case, you are advised to call a slope stabilization team immediately for assistance to prevent any further damage. We offer quality seed and straw for your erosion prevention. 

01 Stabilize slopes

One of the best solutions for stabilizing slopes is straw erosion control. Slopes are candidates for erosion as water rushes down them. You could use agricultural straw to hold the soil together and slow down the flow of water. Also ensure slopes are covered in grass or other vegetation that will keep the soil intact.


02 Slow the water down

As mentioned above, straw erosion control is a good solution if you want to slow the water down. Other materials like stones at downspouts and deep rooted native plants will also be effective.

03 Hardscape with drainage

Give the water alternative channels to prevent flooding and washing away of soil on the gardens. Instead of concrete for outdoor landscaping, you could use permeable materials on walkways and patios as these materials are best suited if you would like to achieve seed erosion control. Permeable pavers for driveways for example could work perfectly.
