Erosion Control & Bank Stabilization

Environmentally responsible erosion control solutions

 

Erosion isn’t a problem limited to the coast – it can be the result of improper grading when a home was built, or it can present itself on hillsides, along areas of travel, and along waterways. Adding to the complexity of the issue, if your property is within Federal, state or locally identified buffer zones to wetland resource areas, regulations may determine the type of measures allowed to protect or enhance your property. But there are other options.

 

Cape Organics was the first company to design and install bio-engineered erosion control systems on Cape Cod. We have more than 30 years of first-hand knowledge and experience so you can be confident in our ability to assess your level of erosion, determine the factors causing it, and work with you to develop a solution through a variety of eco-friendly practices.

 

Our bio-engineered erosion control techniques include:

• Coconut or coir fiber rolls

• Appropriate re-grading

• Paths designed to shed water

• Native or naturalized erosion control plantings

• Coir, straw, and turf reinforcement matting

• TRM vegetated swales, berms, and detention basins
