Establishing sustainable vegetation and receiving the earliest possible Notice of Termination (NOT) are the goals of every project. Profile’s 5 Fundamentals™ are the surest way to get you there. Integrating them into a process that entails proper planning and execution takes the guesswork out of crucial decisions.
1. Assessing and Creating Optimal Soil Conditions
Soil testing provides essential information to determine what adjustments, if any, need to be made to assure a more favorable growing environment for faster, more complete vegetative growth and sustainable establishment.
2. Picking the Right Plant Species
It is essential to select plant species that are adapted to project locations, site conditions, intended use, project seasonality and maintenance requirements.
3. Selecting the Correct Erosion Control Material
The right cover is necessary to protect both seed and soil, taking into account the erosion control product’s effectiveness, ability to facilitate growth and the functional longevity required for that protection.
4. Ensuring Proper Installation
Installing these products in accordance with the manufacturer’s mixing and application guidelines will maximize their performance to meet project requirements.
5. Follow-up Inspections and Maintenance Practices
Continually monitoring how projects are progressing is the best way to make sure all site requirements and compliance issues are being addressed. Maintenance may be required to mitigate unexpected challenges.
Healthy soil is the necessary infrastructure to support and nurture vegetation. Once vegetation is established, it then grows and flourishes through nutrient cycling—the movement and exchange of organic and inorganic matter back into the production of living matter. Once you understand your soil, you can work toward building the proper soil composition and profile to promote nutrient cycling.
