What Causes Landscape Erosion?

Water is one of Earth’s most powerful elements. It can create massive ravines, mudslides that damage homes, and even sinkholes that are capable of causing huge problems for people and property. On a much more minor scale, however, uncontrolled water flow may also create costly problems for homeowners.

Even the most beautiful landscape can be destroyed by erosion. Your land and the erosion’s gravity can clearly indicate how to best alleviate the erosion problem.

Here are some of the most common causes.

Mass Traffic

Too much foot traffic can compress the soil and take out ground cover, creating open spaces that are susceptible to soil erosion. To help reduce the chances of erosion, create walkways specifically for foot traffic or identify play areas that have harder ground control plants. Neutralize unwanted trails by adding plants to the area until the soil recovers.

Too Much Water Flow

Falling or moving water from your drains or gutters can sculpt away parts of your landscape’s soil. The best thing to handle extreme water flow is to install gutter protection systems from HutchCo Home & Bath.

With Gutter Helmet, you can keep your system clear of debris to allow water to flow freely off your roofing systems and away from your home, avoiding the risks of landscape erosion.

Poor Yard Drainage

A mini waterfall over the edge of your gutters means debris or dead leaves are blocking water flow. If left untreated, overflowing gutters can damage your home’s siding, cause property damage and landscape erosion. Before it’s too late, call our team to enjoy maintenance-free gutters.

Our gutter system has a textured surface that lets water through a tiny gap where debris can’t fit.

Trust no one but HutchCo Home & Bath when it comes to installing high-quality gutter guards for your home. We are here to protect your landscape from the damaging effects of soil erosion, making your home safe and free from overflowing water.

We had a full size retractable awning replaced due to tropical storm Helene and another awning installed in its place within a couple of hours. Great job and I would highly recommend Carolina Gutter Helmet for any of your awning needs! Thank you again!

We ordered a Sunsetter Awning from Carolina Gutter Helmet. The sales person was knowledgeable about the awning and was very pleasant to deal with. The awning was installed 4 weeks later and it only took them 2-3 hours to finish. We received cookies in the mail a few weeks later thanking us for our business. The people at Carolina Gutter Helmet are experts at customer service. We are very pleased with their service and the awning.

I had a tub to walk in shower conversion. What they did was more than I expected. The installers were total professionals and they did a beautiful job. They walked me through everything and cleaned up before they left. Total satisfaction on my part.
