what is erosion and sediment control?

Erosion and sediment control is the practice of preventing or minimizing the amount of soil erosion and sedimentation that occurs during construction, land development, or any other activity that disturbs the land. Soil erosion is the process by which soil is moved from one location to another by wind or water, while sedimentation refers to the process by which soil settles out of water or other fluids. Erosion and sediment control measures aim to reduce the amount of soil erosion and sedimentation by implementing practices such as Using silt fences, sediment basins, or sediment ponds to trap sediment and prevent it from flowing off-site.

what is the purpose of an erosion and sediment control plan?

An erosion and sediment control plan aims to prevent soil erosion and sediment runoff during construction activities, safeguarding the environment, waterways, and neighboring properties from negative impacts. Measures like sediment barriers, slope stabilization, and reduced disturbance to natural vegetation are part of the plan, which also includes monitoring and maintenance procedures. Implementing the plan can reduce sedimentation that enters nearby waterways, thus improving water quality and protecting aquatic ecosystems, while also preventing property damage and other negative impacts arising from soil erosion.

I guess this business has all the repeat customers they need and does not care to gain new ones. Was impressed by their photos so I called them and was told to use the estimate form on their website. I did that and got no response. At all. No courtesy email, no follow-up phone call. We got no response to a voice mail we left, either. It has been weeks now. Life is too short. Go with someone else.

We have had this company cut our grass for the past couple of years- it saves us so much time and they do a quick, nice job! They come every 2 weeks and are in and out in less than 15 minutes. They also take the time to clean up after they cut which is huge for us. Definitely recommend!
