I have been filling in a steep area (approx. 80' X 80') below my house, in an attempt to shape it for mowing with the JD 4115 and grooming mower. I've added and graded about 200 yd.s of "Overdurden" and sand, so far. I'm almost ready for topsoil but with heavy summer rains, I have already had considerable wash down of some of the fill. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
My questions is, does any one know the name(s) of the grass seed/straw/mesh that highway departments often use on steep slopes to prevent erosion until the grass has taken hold? Also, if any one knows sources, relative costs compared to aternatives such as heavy mulch straw, I would appreciate the information.
I have pictures of "before and after" to this point but, I was waiting until I am able to show the "finished project" to post.
Thanks,
Tom
