Slope Soil Stabilization

The slope soil stabilization portion of our culvert project was on the upper end of the culvert from where we rebuilt the stream bed. The erosion was caused by the excavation of the bank during the culvert replacement and seeing as how Mother Nature never misses an opportunity to get in on the action, each rain event was adding to the degradation of the bank.

First we covered the exposed area with a layer of soil and a hydro-seed mixture.
Tack straw was applied to protect the soil from the elements and help hold moisture for the grass seed.
Approximately two weeks.

One month.

Two months. Greening up nicely.

As part of our stabilization plan, we will continue to monitor for issues that arise in the coming months. Looking at how well the grass took, we’re not anticipation many issues but we’ll fill the bare spots and repair any concerns. The quote for a spray hydro-seeder was $1800 which is what is typically used for these types of projects. We’ll admit we’re not typical, so we did it by hand spreading the soil and seed with hands, shovels and buckets for a fraction of the price.
