Soil erosion is a simple concept, and it’s one that almost everybody who lives in a climate that gets a lot of rain or snow understands. While shifting soil may not be a major issue in areas where there are no structures built, erosion can be a major problem for commercial buildings. Use these tips to keep erosion from becoming a serious problem that could threaten your structure’s foundation.
- Build retaining walls and use edging around areas where you’re concerned about erosion. These types of structures can look very natural around driveways, and other hardscaped areas.
- Plant flowers and trees near or on areas where you think erosion may be a problem. Flowers, plants and trees can all help stabilize the soil and keep it from becoming prone to erosion over time. Even plants like ivy can help reduce the potential for erosion.
- Use wood fiber matting to cover areas where erosion is problematic. Plants and trees can even grow through matting on the property.
