Erosion Control for the College Station & Bryan, TX Areas

Erosion control is the practice of preventing or controlling wind or water erosion. Erosion is bad for everyone. It leads to the loss of fertile land for planting and increased pollution and sediment in rivers. The pollution and sediment in rivers lead to clogging and declines in fish and other species. Land that is degraded because of erosion also is more prone to flooding.

Flooding can cause serious damage to your property which costs you a lot of money. Even the loss of fertile farmland, if you’re a farmer, can be costly. You will lose the income that could have been generated from the crops that you would have grown on that land. If you are planning a major construction project that will take a while, erosion is a concern. You don’t want valuable equipment or materials being ruined because of unstable land or flooding caused by erosion. There are also EPA laws that landowners must abide by. Erosion control will help maintain compliance while also protecting your land and valuables.

Erosion Control Techniques

There is an abundance of ways you can prevent or control erosion. Choosing the correct method(s) depends on your unique plot of land. We recommend that you typically employ the use of several techniques to maximize the effectiveness. Erosion control techniques include:

• Planting Vegetation
Planting vegetation holds soil together. It works best in areas that are prone to erosion caused by streams, rivers, and along hillsides.

• Contour Farming
This is where farmers plant across slopes. This farming technique conserves rainwater and reduce soil loss from surface erosion.

• Use Plastic Sheeting
Plastic sheeting is used to prevent soil erosion from wind and water. It is only effective in small erodible areas.

• Apply Mulches
Mulch is used for erosion control during the initial stages of growing vegetation.

• Improving Drainage
Utilize drainage systems and techniques to allow water to pass through rather than spread out across the land.
