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…
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…
