What is erosion control and why is it important?
Erosion control protects soil from being washed or blown away. It’s essential for preventing site damage, safety hazards, and environmental violations.
What methods are used for erosion control in Texas?
Native Ecology uses hydromulching, erosion blankets, native grass seeding, silt fences, and tackifiers—tailored to your land and project needs.
Where is erosion control needed most?
Erosion control is crucial on slopes, ditches, pipelines, construction sites, and any disturbed ground that’s not yet stabilized.
How fast can erosion control be installed?
We respond quickly and work fast because we know Texas weather doesn’t wait.
What areas does Native Ecology serve?
We provide erosion control across Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and all surrounding suburbs.
What Is Erosion Control?
Erosion control is the process of protecting soil from wind and water damage. It’s essential on disturbed land like construction sites, cleared fields, utility easements, and anywhere new vegetation hasn’t had time to take root. Left untreated, erosion can destroy a site’s integrity, create safety hazards, and result in costly rework or environmental fines.
How Native Ecology Handles Erosion Control
We use proven, field-tested methods to get the job done right the first time. That includes:
- Hydromulching and hydroseeding for fast vegetation growth
- Erosion control blankets on steep or unstable slopes
- Tackifiers and soil binders for wind or rain-prone areas
- Silt fencing and wattles for runoff control and compliance
- Custom native grass mixes to match your soil and region
Our crews know the land, the weather, and how to handle both.
