It’s no secret that water is one of the biggest forces that shapes the surface of the earth. Erosion is one of its most significant processes when it comes to forming the surfaces all around us. How Water Causes Erosion Depending on both the speed and force of the water, erosion can occur in a…
If you have ever seen soil wash away on a slope, around a channel, or near a landscaped area after a storm, you already understand why erosion control matters. In Arizona, that problem can show up fast. Even in a dry climate, a strong rain event can move a surprising amount of soil in a…
Turf Reinforcement Matting is a popular commercial grade erosion-control solution. This three-dimensional turf reinforcement media is constructed of continuously bonded monofilament polymers. This enables a framework suitable for vegetative roots and hillside soil to take hold. Turf Reinforcement mats (TRMs) are ideal for applications like hillside slopes, under sod, and vegetated channels. What Is Turf…
Soil erosion is a natural process that involves the displacement of surface materials by forces of water, wind, or even gravity. Erosion control is used to manage this phenomenon by utilizing techniques specifically designed to stabilize exposed earth surfaces while minimizing soil loss. How Does Erosion Control Work? Retaining fertile topsoil is the primary focus…
