Erosion Control Services

During the first 3 to 4 weeks, water 3 to 4 times daily for approximately 10 to 15 minutes per session. Watering requirements vary based on water pressure, sprinkler type, soil composition, and weather conditions. After the initial month, reduce watering frequency to encourage the roots to grow deeper into the soil.

Hydroseeding can be performed during any season, each offering distinct benefits. Spring and fall applications typically require less frequent watering compared to summer installations. Summer heat accelerates germination and growth rates. The optimal temperature range for hydroseeding is 75-85 degrees during the first 5 to 6 weeks. Extreme temperatures present specific challenges, so contact us for guidance on your particular situation.

Remove all weeds and rocks larger than an egg from the area. For optimal results, apply herbicide to weeds, wait one week for them to die completely, then till the soil while removing rocks and dead vegetation simultaneously. Tilling without killing weeds first leaves live root systems in place that will quickly regrow. For rocky or clay-based soil, we recommend importing quality topsoil. Investing in good topsoil upfront ensures a healthy lawn and costs less than repeatedly purchasing fertilizers to compensate for poor soil. Maintain 2 to 4 inches of loose, soft soil on the surface to allow grass to develop a strong, deep root system. Your preparation quality directly determines your lawn's final appearance.

Standard erosion control methods include silt fence installation, gravel construction entrance installation, seeding and vegetation establishment, erosion control blanket installation, and drainage channel construction.

Product longevity varies by material type. Straw blankets typically last up to 12 months, straw-coconut blend blankets last up to 24 months, and coir (coconut fiber) blankets can remain effective for 2 to 3 years.

Proper maintenance requires conducting regular site inspections, particularly following rainfall events, repairing any damaged silt fencing, and addressing damaged turf or vegetation areas.

Silt fencing: Barriers installed to contain sediment. Inlet protection: Screens or traps that prevent sediment from entering storm drainage systems. Stabilization: Soil covering with straw, mulch, seeding, or geotextiles, which must be completed within 15 days after grading work is finished.
