OG and all: much obliged for your suggestions. The concept to drag different shaped forms/tools across the slope surface sounds promising. Because we are limited on space at the top of the slope, perhaps a tripod and winch system on steroids can make this work. We have limitations how far back...
The Enkamat is folded and buried into a 1'x 1' deep/wide trench about 18" back from the apex of the slope, and then rolled down.
8" min. U shaped soil nails are inserted / triangulated through the mat at 3' o.c. to keep the mat adhered to the slope grade so plant material roots into the sandy...
Oldestguy, thanks for the feedback. I'm confident in the Enkamat 7020 and R45 system, it's like a scouring sponge, so the hydromulch / growing medium goes in thick and won't get washed out. The challenge appears to be scraping down the slope so the mat is flush with the slope grade to support...
Can anyone advise based on past experience best method / equipment for scraping down and smoothing a badlands type crevice laden sandstone, steep slope (up to 5:1) to accept an Enkamat / hydromulch type erosion mitigation system? Face of slope is up to 30' in height with limited access from the...
