Brownsite Westerly, R.I - 2011
-
Located near an old water tank that had been sandblasted for cleaning and new painting, Groundscapes Express had a contractor come in to remov the polluted soil. Next the crew from Groundscapes Express applied the two products EarthBlanket™ and erosion control, FilterMitts™
-
On a 1:1 and 2:1 slope these two products were able to amend the soil rather than the traditional loom and synthetic netting.
-
The FilterMitts™ and EarthBlanket™ covered and stabilized the soil by 100%. This process can be done at any time of year in various weather conditions.
Franklin Kleins Innsbrook - 2013
-
Formerly a ski mountain, condos were built with the problem of surface water causing erosion behind them.
-
Groundscapes Express’s crew created a “buff” of organic matter and reseeded it with native plants.
-
This eliminated the need for loom and rip rap.
-
Owners of the condos are now able to view the native plantings and the wildlife that comes with them.
Mount Auburn - 2009
-
Groundscapes Express worked with Mount Auburn to remove the non-native plants and replace it with native plants and erosion control.
-
The first step was to remove the pressure treated ties.
-
Next, Groundscapes Express placed dead trees and stumps to create water bars and stabilization.
-
The crew then blew in the product EarthBlanket™, which also aided in stabilizing the slopes.
-
Lastly, FilterMitts™ were placed in lieu of the pressure treated ties to act as a border to separate the paths. More of the EarthBlanket™ was spread to help hold in the FilterMitts™.
-
Native plants were then directly planted right into the FilterMitts™.
