PSA for the Earth: New Build? Cover the Soil!

We often get called in for erosion mitigation for new builds where the land has been stripped, the house built, and clients are watching their topsoil run down the hill, causing gullies in the yard and neighbor frustration.

Our response, depending on the situation, is to:

1. Make and disseminate seed balls of fast growing cover crop
2. Lay down biodegradable erosion mat
3. Plug with native hardy perennials
4. Install shrubs
5. Install earthworks
6. Check dams and on-contour swales - to slow, infiltrate and re-direct the water

Please do what is necessary to cover the soil as soon as possible, add vegetation, straw and address erosion at the source.
