Erosion Control

Our Erosion Control Methods

At Big Greens, we offer several different methods that you can choose from to control erosion on your property. They are as follows:

Erosion Control Blanket: An erosion control blanket prevents soil erosion, allows seeds to germinate, and gives the grass time to grow.

Straw Wattles: Straw wattles are tubes of compressed straw placed inside ditches to slow the flow of water and soil.

Drain Inlet Protection: We can install a blanket over your drains or a log on the edges of them so that water can flow through them but soil can't!

Geotextile Installation: This is usually a gravel base that separates the soil from whatever you are going to put on top of it, like putting it down in a landfill so it separates the soil from the trash.

Silt Fence: This is a fence that usually goes in ditches or around the edges of job sites so that any disturbed soil doesn't fall off the property. A reinforced silt fence has backing or a frame to provide extra strength.

Hydroseeding: When hydroseeding your property, we will use a strong slurry that is designed to hold strong without eroding.

Compost Sock: We fill material with compost or mulch and use it as a log that filters out the soil and keeps water from flowing off hillsides, ditches, or perimeters of a property.

Temporary Cover Corp: Temporary cover corp is a type of grass that works similarly to an anchor and produces roots in the soil to keep it from eroding.

Turf Reinforcement Matting: Turf reinforcement matting gets rolled out and almost buried into the ground to keep the soil safe and prevent it from moving.

Straw Blowing: We will blow a layer of straw over your soil to slow down water flow and keep the soil from being disturbed.
