Living in Florida, you might have seen firsthand how intense rainstorms can affect the landscaping. Whether your land is totally flat or nuanced with different levels, erosion and sediment control can be a huge issue. Keeping the soil in place is not only good for your land, it’s good for the environment. When sediment travels into waterways, whether it’s a pond on your property or an area river or just sewer drainage, it affects your local waters. The sediment contains bacteria, nutrients, chemicals and other things that aren’t good for the water system and those who rely on it, like fish, animals and even humans. Sediment clogs up these bodies of water, giving the water less room to flow, which can cause flooding and a murky appearance.
