What Erosion Control Services Do We Offer?

What Is a Silt Sock?

Silt sock are a tubular mesh product, filled with a custom wood chip compost blend. They form a portable, easily installed, highly effective alternative to traditional erosion control methods.

What Is a Filter Sock?

Faster, Easier, More Efficient. Filter sock is a quickly becoming the go to form of erosion control across the country. This is due to its superior filtration of sediment and other contaminants. As with many other products, there are many options on the market today. American Mulch offers several different products’ needs. We offer 9”, 12” 18” and 24” silt.

What Is Hydroseeding?

A fast, cost-effective way to establish vegetation and prevent erosion on slopes and disturbed soil. We use high-performance seed blends, mulch, fertilizer, and water to promote healthy, long-lasting growth—perfect for large areas, road embankments, and construction sites.

Do You Build Retaining Walls?

Functional and visually appealing, retaining walls provide critical support for sloped landscapes and help control erosion on challenging terrain. We design and build durable, long-lasting walls using materials that match your site needs and aesthetic goals.

What Are Erosion Control Blankets?

Ideal for stabilizing slopes, drainage channels, and newly seeded areas, our erosion blankets reduce runoff and keep soil in place while vegetation establishes. We offer a range of biodegradable and synthetic options tailored to your site’s conditions.

Answers & expertise

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about erosion control for residential, commercial, and municipal properties.

What is the best method for erosion control on a slope?
The right method depends on the slope's grade and site conditions, but hydroseeding, erosion control blankets, and silt or filter socks are among the most effective and widely used solutions. We assess each site individually and recommend a combination of these methods to hold soil in place while vegetation establishes.
What's the difference between a silt sock and a filter sock?
A silt sock is a tubular mesh product filled with a wood chip compost blend that forms a portable, easily installed barrier against sediment runoff. A filter sock works on the same principle but is engineered for superior filtration of sediment and contaminants, and we offer it in 9", 12", 18", and 24" sizes depending on the site's needs.
Can mulch blowing or hydroseeding be used on construction sites and steep slopes?
Yes. Our Express Blower trucks are built to reach hard-to-access and inclined areas, making them well suited to construction sites, roadway embankments, and other disturbed ground. Hydroseeding combines seed, mulch, fertilizer, and water in one application, which is an efficient way to establish vegetation quickly on large or difficult sites.
Do erosion control blankets work with hydroseeding?
Yes, they're often used together. Erosion control blankets stabilize slopes and drainage channels immediately after installation, reducing runoff while hydroseeded vegetation has time to take root and establish itself.
Do you provide erosion control for commercial, municipal, and construction projects, not just residential properties?
Yes. We work with construction sites, roadways, industrial developments, and municipalities in addition to residential properties, and our team understands the compliance and timeline pressures that come with commercial and public projects.
