- What causes soil erosion?
Soil erosion can be caused by many factors, but it typically occurs when there is a large amount of soil runoff due to heavy rainfall, strong winds or other harsh weather. The slope, material on your property and location of your property all play a role in soil erosion and should be taken into account when having erosion control services performed.
- Do I need to control soil erosion?
Yes! It is essential to control soil erosion on your property if you want your land to keep its integrity in the future. If left unchecked, your land will erode little by little and create a large amount of damage over time. You can prevent soil from leaving your land with a few simple but effective erosion control methods.
- What are the best erosion control methods?
There are many different erosion control services that can be performed based on your particular situation. At Favland Corp, we use several methods that include silt fencing, matting, coir baffles, wattles, rip rap, hydroseeding, traditional seeding and mulching, and more. Each of these methods has its own unique benefits, so it is important to talk with an erosion control expert before making a decision.
- Does soil erosion occur more often at certain times of the year?
Although soil erosion can happen at any time of the year, it can be a bigger nuisance during the spring when we experience heavier rains in the area. These rains and other stronger weather create soil runoff which can lead to problems for your property.
- Why should I hire an erosion control team?
Although there are a few things that you can do yourself to prevent soil erosion, such as seeding and mulching, these are not always going to get the job done. If your site requires more intricate erosion control services, it is essential that you hire a professional before your site experiences major damage that can become very costly.
