Straw Blowing
Home / services / straw-blowing
Straw is an excellent choice for erosion control because it creates a protective cover that helps reduce soil erosion and sediment runoff, while also preserving moisture and providing a natural mulch that promotes seed germination. The straw is also biodegradable, so it will eventually decompose and add valuable nutrients to the soil.
Straw blowing is a quick and efficient method to apply straw, especially in large areas with difficult terrain. The straw is evenly distributed and can be tailored to specific project needs, such as slope stabilization, dust control, or site restoration.
Favland can help you assess your erosion control needs and develop a plan that includes straw blowing, hydroseeding, and other effective techniques to minimize the environmental impact of construction projects and prevent damage to natural habitats.
What Is Straw Blowing?
Straw blowing is an effective best management practice (BMP) for erosion control and stormwater management. By covering bare soil with straw, it helps to stabilize the soil and reduce the risk of erosion and sediment runoff.
Additionally, the straw helps to insulate the soil against high temperatures and retain natural nutrients, allowing for more effective revegetation and reseeding efforts.
Using a straw blower machine is a highly efficient way to spread the straw across large areas of land quickly and evenly.
What Are the Benefits of Straw Blowing?
straw blowing can also be a cost-effective erosion control measure compared to other options, such as erosion control blankets or geotextiles. Straw is an affordable and readily available material that can provide temporary erosion control while vegetation establishes itself.
Additionally, straw blowing can be a quick process, which can be important for construction projects with tight timelines. Overall, straw blowing is a versatile and effective solution for erosion control and vegetation establishment on large stretches of land.
It’s important to apply erosion control measures to any areas that may be at risk of soil erosion and stormwater runoff. Favland can apply erosion control services to graded surfaces, roads, gravel projects, and any commercial construction projects available.
