Erosion Fencing Athens, GA

Site Evaluation

The first step our erosion control experts take is a thorough evaluation of the property. We assess the slope, geography, soil type, drainage issues and the primary causes of erosion patterns on your land.

This allows us to gain a complete understanding of the erosion risks and challenges specific to your site in Athens.

Customized Fencing Plan

Next, we develop a customized fencing plan to address the erosion control requirements of your property. There are many types of erosion fences available, so it’s crucial to select the proper style, material, spacing and installation method based on your site’s conditions and erosion patterns observed.

Some key factors we consider are:

• Slope inclination and length
• Soil particle sizes and permeability
• Volume and direction of water flow
• Wind exposure and velocity
• Vegetation coverage
• Duration of protection needed
• Aesthetic preferences

Our team has extensive experience designing optimal, cost-effective erosion fence solutions in Athens for nearly every site condition and project scope.

Fence Selection

With your erosion control goals and requirements in mind, we will select the ideal fence type, materials, and accessories to stabilize your slopes and protect against runoff.

Common fencing options we provide include:

• Silt Fence: A temporary sediment control fence using woven geotextile fabric attached to wooden stakes. Simple, flexible and economical option for short-term projects.
• Wire-Backed Silt Fence: Geotextile fabric reinforced with welded wire mesh for added strength and longer lifespan. Ideal for high debris loads.
• Super Silt Fence: Sturdy erosion fence with chain link wire backing and steel t-post supports. Holds up to heavy flows and debris in channels.
• Straw Wattle: Tubes filled with straw or coconut fiber encased in photodegradable netting. Installed along slopes in rows to intercept runoff.
• Rock Berm: Built from large, graded stone. Acts as a sturdy diversion barrier to protect slopes by directing water flow.
• Temporary Orange Construction Fence: Low-cost plastic fencing to delineate project boundaries, protect vegetation or stabilize mildly sloped areas.
• Coir Log: Dense, tubular rolls made of coconut fiber. Placed along toes of slopes or channels to filter and spread runoff.

We will select the ideal style or combination of fences to establish effective erosion and sediment control at your site.

Pre-Installation Prep

Once we have finalized the erosion control fencing design and materials best suited to your property in Athens, our team will make preparations for installation day. This includes:

• Scheduling suitable crew, equipment and materials for your project timeline
• Clearing and grading the installation area if necessary
• Staking out the planned fencing layout and marking utilities if present
• Coordinating with engineers for final plan approval and permitting
• Arranging for delivery of erosion control materials and supplies to your site

We take care to:

• Offload materials using proper lifting techniques
