Erosion control is the practice of preventing
or controlling wind or water erosion in agriculture, land development and
construction. This usually involves the creation of some sort of physical
barrier, such as vegetation or rock, to absorb some of the energy of the wind or
water that is causing the erosion. Effective erosion controls are important
techniques in preventing water pollution and soil loss. They are often
implemented in conjunction with sediment controls such as sediment basins and
silt fences.

Erosion control and slope stabilization projects often do not
recognize the value of or incorporate vegetation as a very useful addition to
address slope stability. Vegetation alone or together with other biotechnical
engineering methods for slope protection is often not well understood. The value
of vegetation planted on a slope is often underestimated.

A catch basin is a part of a storm drain or sewer system which is designed to
trap debris so that it cannot enter the drainage pipes. Catch basin are a large
scale version of the traps used in home drains to accomplish a similar function.
Most municipal sewer and storm drainage systems use catch basin, and the design
is basically the same all over the world, with a few small variations.

If your neighbor’s land stands at a higher elevation than
yours, you may be experiencing problems with excessive moisture on your
property. Water from your neighbor’s property may be running down the slope and
spilling onto your property. You need better yard drainage. One option in such
cases is installing French drains. When some people speak of a “French
drain,” they refer to a trench in which a drain pipe is laid, but the
traditional French drain is basically a trench filled with gravel.

After studying and analyzing the site, we'll prepare a preliminary design. To
address the needs of the client as well as the conditions at the site, changes
may be made before a final design is approved. We also take into account any
local, State, or Federal regulations, such as those protecting wetlands or
historic resources. |

Lance Landscape develops & installs various stabilization and
restoration systems, depending on the situation, in order to achieve slope
stabilization. Slope stabilization methods include anchoring systems of rock
bolts, rock anchors, tiebacks, tiedowns, earth anchors, soil nails, concrete
anchors, & post-tensioned tendons. Slope stabilization becomes necessary when soil
moisture, erosion, or any sort of ground movement causes the foundation
to become unstable.

Ideally, soil erosion control begins with soil erosion
prevention, and certain plants are excellent at soil erosion prevention. But
when it's too late for soil erosion prevention, you simply have to fix a problem
that already exists. Building retaining walls addresses both kinds of soil
erosion control issues -- both preventing it and fixing an existing problem.
Plants can be used to control slopes. Any of the slope control methods above can
be planted, or you can use plants alone. When plants are established, the roots
help anchor the soil.

In nature, bogs are wetland ecosystems with soils consisting
mainly of decayed organic matter. They are found in low lying areas where water
collects. In a landscape, a bog can be designed to turn drainage problems into
assets. Among the plants that flourish here are sedges, rushes and cattails. |

Sod or turf is grass and the part of the soil beneath it held
together by the roots, or a piece of this material. The term sod may be
used to mean turf grown and cut specifically for the establishment of lawns.
However, in British English such material is more usually known as turf, and the
word "sod" is limited mainly to agricultural senses (for example for turf when
ploughed), or avoided altogether, due to the alternative offensive meaning of
the word "sod". |
