Biotechnical erosion control combines vegetated and structural strategies utilizing techniques including straw rolls, willow wattles, brush layering and vegetated riprap, gabions and rock walls. This mix performs well under a variety of environmental parameters: sun/shade, wet/dry, or sandy/clay soil types.Ĭentral Coast Wilds installs biotechnical erosion control systems for slopes and stream banks. Central Coast Wilds offers a native erosion control mix consisting of three native species that germinate and develop rapidly. Most native grasses are also drought tolerant, remaining green during the dry season, long after annual erosion control grasses have turned dry and brown. Because of their rooting ability, native grasses provide increased water infiltration rates and less over surface flow, thus reducing erosion. Unlike non-native annual grasses, native perennial grasses are long lived and deep rooted plants that provide permanent cover. Native perennial bunch grasses are an excellent choice for erosion control. Long term erosion control planning requires proper plant species selection. We have experience in all of the ecosystems on California's central coast, including coastal terrace prairie, maritime chaparral, coastal scrub, mixed evergreen forest, Santa Cruz sandhills, redwood forest, wetland and riparian habitats.Ĭentral Coast Wilds contracts and oversees hydroseeding of native seed mixes for bank stabilization and revegetation projects. We also implement and oversee long-term maintenance operations in order to insure the success of our restoration & landscape projects. CCW oversees site preparation, soil and plant salvage, exotic pest plant removal, mowing, site-specific seed collection, plant propagation, irrigation and planting operations. Central Coast Wilds implements and manages ecological restoration plans, vegetation management plans, habitat conservation plans and large commercial landscapes.
