Erosion Control

Soil erosion can threaten your project and our environment. We help customers’ meet or exceed environmental objectives and regulations. The Best Management Practices (BMP’s) we use assures groundcover, which is the most important factor in terms of preventing erosion.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations administered by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) mandate that all reasonable steps be taken to protect surface and ground water from impacts of land disturbing activities. The regulations affect any construction site one acre and larger. 

GT Hydro Seed provides permanent solutions of our easily erodible soils. We can quickly solve your problems with proven techniques and materials.

Hydra CX² - The Next Generation of Erosion Control Products

Hydra CX² is a cost effective hydraulically applied erosion control that protects against soil and seed loss from heavy rain and wind-even before germination; then effectively establishes permanent vegetation.

Hydra CX² can be used for almost any slope erosion control situation. It’s especially ideal for hard-to-reach areas, uneven surfaces, steep slopes (2:1 and 1:1), and environmentally sensitive projects.

Hydra CX² is 100% natural-cotton-fiber that uses the inherent qualities of cotton-absorbency, porous and natural biodegradability to provide "exceptional, high-performance slope erosion control that is 99.6% effective in ASTM large-scale slope testing."* The high cotton content retains moisture better than wood or paper mulch, which means less watering, and use of water resources, especially during water use restriction times.

Hydra CX²  has been approved by the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) for use in state erosion control projects. It has been honored by Better Roads Magazine as one of the top 50 Rollouts for 2007.

Hydra CX² is grown, manufactured and university tested right here in Alabama!

Erosion Control Blankets

ECB’s are used for steep slopes or high water flow areas. The two types are temporary and permanent turf reinforcement.  We use North America Green rolled erosion control products but can install any blanket your specifications call for. These materials are great to hold your soil in place until the vegetation can be established. Temporary blankets provide immediate erosion protection and assist vegetative establishment. They then degrade into the soil after the plants are established. We have blankets that can last 45 days, to longer term that can last 36 months. Permanent turf reinforcement mats (TRM’s) provide long-term erosion protection and assist vegetative establishment while permanently reinforcing vegetation. TRM’s are used in high flow channels, stream banks, shorelines or critical steep slopes.  They are very cost effective compared to the use of rock riprap or concrete and what is nice is you can maintain the area (mowing etc.).  North American Green ECB’s have the Ultimate Assurance Guarantee, for more information and actual guarantee details go to www.nagreen.com/guarantee
