Effective Erosion Control Solutions for Long-Lasting Landscaping

Effective erosion control solutions for landscapes and residential/commercial properties help control soil loss, reduce flood risk, maintain infrastructure and increase long-term landscape sustainability.

In addition to providing high-quality erosion control products, Drainage Solutions Inc. offers insights, product recommendations and expert tips that resolve erosion challenges. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing comprehensive advice tailored to every situation.

Choosing high-quality materials and equipment is essential for the most effective erosion control. Erosion control solutions prevent soil loss, improve water quality, sustain plant health, mitigate flood risk and manage infrastructure. Soil stabilization and erosion control allow plants and vegetation to thrive, protecting the overall investment of the landscaping, enhancing aesthetics and improving the ecological health of residential properties. At Drainage Solutions Inc., we offer drainage products from industry-leading companies, providing you with greater confidence in the results.

Preventing Soil Loss

Top erosion control products are effective at preventing land degradation and soil washing away due to rain, wind or water flow.

Products that prevent soil loss include long-lasting polypropylene erosion control blankets from Enviroscape. The blankets, which typically have a lifespan of 10 or more years, protect disturbed slope and channel areas from wind and water erosion. For a temporary solution, biodegradable erosion control blankets are available as well.

Managing Infrastructure

Protecting slopes, embankments and drainage systems from erosion helps prevent damage to driveways, patios, foundations and other infrastructure that could be compromised by soil loss.

Among other products, sediment socks can control sediment, erosion and stormwater runoff while stabilizing slopes. Also known as filter socks or silt socks, the permeable materials allow water to pass through while trapping sediments and pollutants. They also slow water flow, helping to minimize the pooling of water on grass, on driveways and around the property. Flexible, eco-friendly and easy to install, sediment socks may even promote vegetation growth over time, helping to enhance the aesthetics of your landscaping.

Filter socks, such as the Drain-Sleeve® by Carriff Corporation, trap sediments, debris and pollutants.

 

Geotextiles are another effective solution for residential or commercial properties. Woven geotextiles, non-woven geotextiles and knitted geotextiles can improve soil stability, provide drainage and reinforce structures. The product aids in water flow while preventing soil erosion, resulting in the stabilization of slopes.

Protecting Water Quality

Since minimizing sediment runoff into waterways is crucial for the overall health of the ecosystem, it's important to trust the products you choose.

Atrium grates are an aesthetically pleasing choice to mitigate flood risks in landscaping at residential and commercial properties. The grates prevent debris, leaves and other obstructions from clogging drainage systems, particularly in areas with high water flow or landscaping elements. The durable, long-lasting grates can be made of plastic, cast iron or stainless steel and are available in multiple sizes and colors, ensuring that they blend in seamlessly with your design.

Mitigating Flood Risk

Powerful erosion control solutions are more effective at minimizing the amount of soil that washes away during heavy rainfall, mitigating flooding and improper drainage.

Many styles and brands of channel/trench drains are available to control water flow and reduce the risk of outdoor flooding. The linear drainage systems direct surface water away from areas such as pools, driveways and parking lots. Easy to install and maintain, the product protects drains while allowing water to flow through. In addition to residential landscaping, the drains are ideal for commercial and industrial areas with heavy loads and high water flow.
