Erosion is a threat to homes and businesses everywhere. Wind, rain, sleet and snow can combine to erode land with some astounding effects on homes, businesses and even land usability. To combat this problem, home and business owners need to make use of erosion control products. However, what erosion control products should you use? The good news is that erosion control products come in a range of types for an incredible range of uses.
Erosion Control Products – Netting/Fabric
One of the most versatile erosion control products on the market for home or business use is erosion control fabric. You’ll find an incredible diversity of fabric products that can be used in almost any situation. For instance, silt fencing is an ideal solution for controlling erosion on banks, along roadways and other graded areas until plant life has a chance to establish itself.
Other erosion control products using fabric include inlet filters, blankets, landscape fabric and even weed control fabric. The key is that the fabric allows water to drain through, while preventing soil from being removed from the area.
Fertilisation Options as Erosion Control Products
An important component of preventing erosion is to establish plant growth in the affected area. To foster better plant growth, erosion control products like lime and fertilizer need to be used. With the proper pH levels, the right fertilization and the right conditions, plant life can begin growing and offer natural erosion control for an area.
Erosion Control Products – Construction
Other types of erosion control products can be found in the world of landscaping. Specifically, constructing retaining walls and appropriate land grading can help reduce erosion and foster better plant growth. You can also use other erosion control products in addition to construction and landscaping techniques, such as culverts, borders, turf reinforcement products and more. Erosion control products that offer biodegradation are also important considerations, as they will degrade and disappear as the plant life in the area establishes itself.
Whether you need sediment control, hydraulic erosion control, turf reinforcement, channeling, seed protection or something else, there are erosion control products available to help. The best option is to work with a skilled landscape architect to ensure that you are able to achieve the look and function required for an outdoor area and benefit from using the right erosion control products at the same time.
