Stabilising banks, bare ground and worn routes against rain, runoff and erosion.
Bare soil on drought-hit sites breaks up quickly. Here is how to stabilise exposed ground, manage desire lines and plan for reseeding.
Hydroseeding sprays seed inside a mulch slurry that clings to slopes and protects germination. Here is why it outperforms dry sowing on steep or awkward ground.
Bare graded banks lose soil fast in their first winter. Laying erosion control matting over a fast-establishing seed mix before October rains arrive is the practical solution.
