Erosion Control / Silt Fence Install in the Quad Cities
Erosion Control is extremely important whether you are a home owner or developer. Erosion not only looks bad but it can also cause many problems such as property loss and water pollution. Here at Total Landscape Services, our experienced staff has the knowledge and tools to keep your property as erosion free as possible. Some of the services we offer are sock filters, erosion matting and silt fence install in Bettendorf, Iowa and Quad Cities. Silt sock or sock filters are a low maintenance and cost effective way to try and combat erosion. These socks are typically filled with either wood mulch or straw and come in different fabrics such as biodegradable or heavy duty. Sock filters are typically applied on a downward sloping area and they allow water to pass through while trapping the sediment in the sock. Erosion matting is a good short term solution for soil stabilization or erosion problems. The erosion matt acts as a blanket over loose soil to prevent runoff and help natural vegetation grow to act as a more permanent form of erosion control. Silt fences act as an important barrier at any and all job sites to keep all sediment run off contained. Part of the silt fence instillation in Bettendorf, Iowa and surrounding Quad Cities is to drive part of the fence into the ground in order to prevent and stop all possible erosion runoff. TLS has the knowledge and expertise for any and all of your erosion control needs.
Hydroseeding in Davenport, Iowa
Hydroseeding is an efficient and cost-effective method for planting grass or other vegetation. The process involves spraying a special slurry mixture of grass seed, hydro-mulch, water, and fertilizer directly onto the soil. This slurry ensures even seed distribution while the mulch helps retain moisture and will help promote faster germination. Hydroseeding is quicker and often more successful than traditional seeding methods, providing a lush, healthy lawn or ground cover in less time than traditional seeding methods. It’s also a good choice for difficult-to-reach areas, such as steep slopes or uneven terrains, where conventional seeding may not be as effective or accessible. Whether you’re looking to establish a new lawn or control erosion, hydroseeding offers a fast and reliable solution.
Tractor Silt Seeding in Quad Cities
Silt seeding is a highly effective method for grass seed over larger areas with less expense than hydro-seeding. This process utilizes a tractor-mounted silt seeder, which both distributes the seed and works the soil simultaneously. The silt seeder opens the soil surface and cultivates creating the ideal seedbed for good seed-to-soil contact. After the soil is aerated, a mixture of seed and fine silt is applied evenly across the area. The silt helps retain moisture, prevents seed displacement, and ensures the seeds have the best possible conditions for germination. This technique is especially beneficial for large, flat areas where traditional seeding methods would be inefficient or not cost effective. By improving soil contact and coverage, silt seeding helps establish strong, healthy vegetation over large areas to keep projects on budget.
