Erosion Control
Plant Recommendations
Help hold back the tide of rushing rainwater, a disintegrating stream or pond bank, or a hard-to-mow hillside that sheds water and soil because groundcover of the rain and wind. By letting plants ramble and roam over a hilly slope, creating a vertical garden, or creating terraces in the soil. Plants with dense and fibrous root systems keep the soil where it belongs and prevents washout from the heavy downforce of driving rain. By slowing the water, it gives the soil a chance to absorb the water before it flows away with your soil into storm drains.
