AMT,Inc. was contacted by Eric Dawalt of Bluegrass Stream along
with Gina Morris of Palmer Engineering, to provide erosion control
solutions for an eroded stream bank. They had already established
a rock toe, but needed a product to reclaim the eroding slope
behind it. We came up with a Filtrexx Living Wall application and
Filtrexx EdgeSaver to establish vegetation and provide support for
the slope.
Upon completion of the seeded Living Wall, 200 live stakes of
Willow were placed on 3 foot intervals along the 400 linear feet
of soxx in order to quickly root, and establish a strong,
environmentally sensitive solution to a difficult problem. This
natural Living Wall will not only hold the slope, but will be
aesthetically pleasing and blend with the
surroundings.
