Using good soil reinforcement will cut back on erosion caused by wind and water. Wind and water will stir up the soil causing a loss of growth among plants and will affect the topsoil. In many cases, pollution will increase caused by water. Places that are highly susceptible to erosion include slopes and windy unprotected bare ground. The reinforcement procedure you choose will depend on the landscape and the erosion you need to correct.
If you cover the soil with mulch or plant ground cover, you will improve the soil and prevent displacement. Also, the leaves of thick or compressed plant ground cover will keep the soil in place during rain. Choosing the right plants for controlling erosion include Taiwan Raspberry and Serbian Bellflower. There are other plants you should stay clear of such as Periwinkle and English Ivy.
When applying mulch, you have to spread a good layer of straw, gravel, or wood chips material making sure the soil is totally covered. The material will keep moisture in, preventing soil conditions that can escalate the odds of soil getting blown away.
Plants are a great alternative to plant ground cover. Just make sure you cover the entire area with separate plants then add other plants like flowers, shrubs, and trees for a nicer look. One good thought, larger plants have deeper root systems that can help reinforce the soil. The foliage on larger plants, like trees, will stretch over the soil diffusing rain so soil will not wash away.
Terracing is a geographical term that is made of a sloping surface that is usually bounded on one side by a steeper slope.
A steep slope can increase soil erosion as water rushes down the hill. For long, steep slopes, terracing is a way to keep the soil in its place. Terraces will slow down water preventing water from rushing downhill, taking the soil with it.
Installing a series of short retaining walls heading down the slope is an easy way to create terraces. Ground cover planted on the terraced ground will offer increased stability for the soil.
Geotextile is a fabric made from synthetic fibers woven together to create a porous material. The fabric is laid over the soil sitting firmly in place against the soil for reinforcement to prevent erosion.
This approach is used in construction to make sure the soil stays in place until permanent structures are built and ground cover has become established.
In some cases, the fabric is spread over the soil on a temporary basis after planting seeds to protect them from washing away until the seeds start growing.
Geogrid products are typically composed of high strength polyester yarns (or similar material) and resemble a heavy duty mesh. These products help to keep aggregate in place in areas such as beneath roads or behind retaining walls. They are often used in conjunction with geotextiles for providing a reliable reinforcement solution.
A geogrid consists of a 2-dimensional arrangement of integrally connected tensile elements or ribs that form a grid or net-like structure, usually supplied in roll form. Manufactured from polymers, geogrids are classed as geosynthetic products; this is a broad product classification that includes geotextiles and geomembranes alongside other minor categories.

Tensar geogrids are typically manufactured from oriented high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) for durability, stiffness and strength. The junctions between ribs are integrally formed giving them high strength and structural stability. The design quality and effectiveness of Tensar geogrids has made them the go-to solution for local authorities in the UK and around the world.
Polymeric geogrids are used to solve civil and geotechnical engineering problems in or on the ground. They primarily provide soil stabilisation or reinforcement function, to add to or enhance the properties of soil or aggregate materials.
Geogrids were invented by our company founder, Dr Frank Brian Mercer, who patented his design in . Since then, Tensar has been at the forefront of product innovation globally and manufactures the most advanced solution on the market – Tensar® InterAx®.

Geogrids work efficiently because the apertures between ribs allow the aggregate to strike through and interlock with the geogrid reinforcement. Provided the geogrid is stiff enough, the rib profile deep enough and the junctions strong enough, earth materials are confined within the apertures to prevent the movement of aggregate. This forms a new geogrid/aggregate composite material with improved strength and resistance to deformation.
Testing and experience have shown that Tensar geogrids support the function of separation when properly graded aggregate fill is used. Our geogrids maintain drainage and are not prone to “blinding out” or clogging which may occur with a geotextile used as a separation layer.
For soil reinforcement geogrid applications, load must be transferred between the soil and the geogrid. The transverse ribs of uniaxial geogrids provide an efficient mechanism for load transfer by abutment rather than friction alone. The high tensile load in the geogrid is carried by the longitudinal ribs. They must be capable of sustaining such high loading for the full life of the structure (often up to 120 years), requiring durability and long term strength and stiffness.
Tensar geogrids are routinely excavated through and punched through in order to place underground utilities. The innovative design of geogrids allows them to withstand the stresses associated with trenching and backfilling. This ensures soil reinforcement remains effective after installation.
