Decorative ponds for houses or even bigger ones like lakes are widely used by landscaping architects. If you construct a pond on the side slopes you sometimes put some small sized gravel and some plants. The plants and gravel or soil sometimes slide down to bottom of the pond. 3 dimensional geosynthetic mats for erosion control or 3D mat type green slope materials may help ...
In nature it often takes thousands of years till erosion has stopped and a gradual building up of a natural, vegetal cover has taken place. Mankind can make artificial protection with concrete, stone, wood, etc. or help nature to establish a natural cover. Also it is possible to use prefabricated plastic erosion control products. Three-dimensional erosion control mattings, made of polyamide monofilaments welded together where ...
Honeycomb structured erosion control products has been specially designed for use on sub-bases which do not generally allow the growth of vegetation due to their geological properties. Slag heaps and rocky slopes are examples of this kind of sub-base, upon which a 10 cm thick layer of soil can be applied into the product to form the basis for the development of vegetation. In such ...
What is erosion? Erosion is displacement of solids (soil, mud, rock and other particles) by the agents of ocean currents, wind, water, or ice by downward or down-slope movement in response to gravity or by living organisms (in the case of bioerosion). see http://www.wikipedia.org/ Why erosion control? 2 reasons during the erosion process soil particles are transported, resulting in the gradual deformation and destruction of ...
Enkamat and wiremesh hold soil particals, stones and seeds. The Enkamat functions as a griplayer for hydroseeding. First Enkamat is installed on the slope and then on it wiremesh. As the green of the first hydroseeding does not cover the whole area, a second hydroseeding is needed. Climbing plants have been planted in the toe of the slope. The last picture is taken one year ...
