When steep slopes wash out, losing valuable topsoil is only half the problem- muddy runoff pooling on driveways and patios creates a massive cleanup chore. Controlling slope erosion requires a two-front strategy: filtering flowing water at the base and shielding bare dirt on the hill.
- Silt Socks for Runoff Filtration: Lay continuous silt socks along slope perimeters, ditch lines, or low points. These heavy mesh tubes trap sediment and mud on-site while allowing clean, filtered water to pass through safely during heavy downpours.
- Straw Matting for Surface Protection: Unroll straw matting across exposed earth and newly graded banks. The woven blanket absorbs the physical impact of falling raindrops, prevents surface gulleying, and keeps soil locked in place.
- Sub-Surface Stability: Combine straw matting on top with underlying geotextiles on retaining walls or drainage ditches to ensure complete long-term slope stabilization.
