DRAINAGE AND SOIL EROSION
Late Summer to Early Fall is a great time to tackle
drainage and soil erosion solutions in your yard.
It’s best to solve these challenges before the problem occurs.
During this time of year we still have enough daylight to get projects done.
Additionally, there is usually a bit of early rain to soften the ground
for easier digging and to signal where water may be an issue.
Depending on your particular terrain, you may need to prevent soil erosion on a hill or slope, create a gravel border to keep water draining away from structural foundations or
carve out a dry river bed to redirect flooding. In most cases, combining specific native plantings with the right rock, will go a long way in preventing flooding and soil erosion.
Here at Bark Blowers we offer many products to help you
complete your drainage and soil erosion solutions.
To help with drainage around a structure
you might try our 1 1⁄2” Round Rock.
Round Rock offers drainage and looks great as a border.
If you are ready to tackle a riverbed,
you’ll need a combination of products,
including our 2”- 6” River Rock.
2”- 6” River Rock adds visual interest and,
if placed in the right way, can assist in
preventing soil erosion of the wall of your river bed.
Certain native plants offer tremendous help with water control and drainage.
Plants grow roots to help with soil erosion and, of course,
drink up much of the water for themselves.
Placing specific plants near your borders, paths and river beds,
work with rock to keep water where you want it and not where you don’t.
A few native plants that help with drainage solutions are:
Western Buttercup
Yarrow
Pacific Bleeding-Heart
Once you have your drainage solutions in place and plants in the ground,
Bark Blowers can provide bark to visually polish your project and
keep your plants warmer and happier throughout the colder months.
Our “splinterless” Hemlock is a great complement to your new project.
When it comes to bark, our crew of artists can blow it in and clean it up for you
while you sit back and enjoy your new landscape.
Or, if you prefer to do the work yourself,
we can deliver it right to your door, along with our rock products.
HAPPY LANDSCAPING !
