How To Fix An Erosion Washout
What happens here
To address the existing gully, the first critical step is to clear all accumulated brush, timber, and debris that has been piled into the washout over the years as a temporary fix. This material must be completely removed, even from underneath the banks, to ensure that the new soil can be properly compacted. An excavator is used to clear this brush and create a safe access road into and around the gully for heavy machinery and personnel. This allows for a flat working environment at the bottom of the gully, making it safe to proceed with filling.
Goal: Remove all debris from the gully and create a safe working area.
