Heavy rain, poor drainage, and bare soil can quickly lead to erosion—washing away topsoil, damaging plantings, and creating long-term issues in your landscape. Whether you’re installing a new bed, managing a slope, or repairing problem areas, the right erosion control materials make all the difference.
At Custom Landscape Management, we carry a full range of products to help Washington County homeowners and contractors protect their investment and keep landscapes looking their best.
Why Erosion Control Matters
Erosion doesn’t just affect appearance—it impacts the health and stability of your landscape. When soil washes away, it can:
- Remove nutrients needed for plant growth
- Expose roots and damage plants
- Create drainage problems and pooling water
- Lead to costly repairs over time
Taking steps early helps preserve both the function and beauty of your outdoor space.
Landscape Fabric: A Strong Foundation
Landscape fabric plays a key role in erosion control by stabilizing soil while still allowing water to pass through. It’s especially useful in planting beds, under stone, and on slopes where soil movement is a concern.
At CLM, we offer landscape fabric in a variety of sizes to fit projects both large and small, along with durable landscape staples to keep it securely in place.
Straw Blankets: Protecting New Growth
Straw blankets are ideal for newly seeded areas or slopes where soil is vulnerable to washout. These blankets:
- Hold soil in place during heavy rain
- Help retain moisture for seed germination
- Break down naturally over time
We carry both single-net and double-net straw blankets, depending on the level of protection your project requires.
Drainage Solutions: Managing Water Flow
Proper drainage is one of the most important—and often overlooked—parts of erosion control. Redirecting water away from problem areas prevents soil displacement and long-term damage.
Using piping and drainage solutions, you can guide water safely away from your landscape, protecting both your yard and your foundation.
Don’t Forget Grass Seed
Erosion control doesn’t stop at stabilization—establishing healthy ground cover is key to long-term success.
We offer a wide selection of grass seed from trusted brands like Newsom Seed, Pennington, and LESCO, with options suited for different soil conditions, sun exposure, and project goals. Pairing seed with straw blankets and proper prep gives you the best chance for strong, lasting growth.
