How do I prevent erosion after excavation?

After excavation, erosion control measures are essential to prevent soil loss and water runoff. Common methods include:

• Seeding and Mulching: Planting grass or other vegetation and covering the bare soil with mulch helps stabilize the soil and prevent erosion.
• Erosion Control Blankets: These biodegradable blankets are made from natural or synthetic fibers and placed over the soil to prevent erosion while vegetation establishes.
• Silt Fences: Temporary fences installed along the perimeter of the excavation site to trap sediment and prevent it from entering nearby water bodies.
• Retaining Walls: Used to hold back soil and prevent erosion on slopes.
• Drainage Systems: Proper drainage systems can direct water away from the excavated area, preventing erosion and pooling.
