Seeding and Erosion Control Blanket Installation

[Music] but the soil scarify next goes down the seed after we get the seed in place we've got to establish the erosion control blanket over the slope that's what's going to stitch and hold everything together but we don't just lay the erosion fabric out we want to make sure that we do it very specifically so as we roll one roll down we overlap kind of like ship lapping siding and you'll notice we put the rolls down the hill we don't go sideways if you go sideways and you get a big rainstorm what happens is all of your blanket just Slough saan down the hill this way if we get a rain storm the fabric will stay in place and we won't have any bunching this blanket takes a special sod staple well I guess it's not a special staple it's a sod staple they're about three and a half inches thick and you have to place them every two foot on center that's what holds this whole thing together we're gonna walk you through the wrap-up of this job but we're gonna meet with the customer during the midway portion of the job and discuss how we do design-build we're gonna do that in just a minute you'll see you a he's gone heavy on our erosion control here we have two two rows of silt fence there we have this first one and a secondary one they're running along the property line and this would have been a good application for hydroseeding but the homeowner was trying to save some money where they could so we went with the seed and straw mat option and hopefully that'll work pretty well for him we got real heavy on the seed and we went nuts with the staples stapling all this down so shouldn't be going anywhere
