Landscaping Creation and Erosion Control Solution for Slopes

Hexagonal wire mesh could normally be used as rockfall barrier suspended on cliff, mountain, slope and therefore it could against falling rocks from hurting people on railway and highway road. To be honest, it is a rather effective slope stabilization method. Nevertheless, it could protect human's safety only on a certain degree. A more strategic method is designed and becomes quite popular – slope vegetation. With this type of measure, landscaping slopes, the imagination of gardening on a slope has realized.

Different from traditional sowing and planting methods, it consists of several more modern and accommodative new techniques, among which several of the most practical and effective techniques are hydro mousse, external soil attached before hydroseeding and thick layer of substrate spraying (thick substrate should be sprayed two times, the first spraying contains only substrate, and in the second spraying, thick substrate contains seeds). Also, there are other measures to gardening on a slope and reaches the desire of slope corrosion resistance: vegetation bag, three dimensional net, geocell.

Hydro mousse is a method of spraying mousse and other seeding onto the side slope surface, therefore it only suits for those soil sufficient and gentle slopes. For slopes that is mixed of rocks and soil, external soil should be attached firstly before spraying seeding. For a steeper mountain that contains mostly rocks, a thick layer of substrate should be sprayed, which will guarantee that the plantings thrive. It is gradually found that merely a thick layer of soil or substrate is by no means strong enough for growing plants to hang onto. A layer of hexagonal wire mesh is especially necessary for those cases.

It is recommended that 2 mm diameter wire made 110 × 80 mm hexagonal wire mesh is suitable for general slope landscape application. In the case of normal, 2 mm diameter, at least, should be guaranteed. For special rock surface slope, for example: steeper slopes that is full of rocks, two layer of chicken wire mesh is demanded.

Specification of slope vegetation used hexagonal wire mesh:

• Material: galvanized wire mostly, PVC coated also available.
• Wire diameter: 2 mm at least.
• Mesh opening size (mm): 110 × 80 (80 mm is the distance between two strands, and 110 mm line is the line in the middle of the two strands).
• Packaging method: packaged in rolls.

Application:

• Hexagonal wire mesh could be used on solid slope (with much coarse grain soil or that is uneven), solid and rock combined slope, rock slope especially.
• It is used for slopes that more than 50% external soil is needed to be attached upon, or that concrete (chunam cover) should be attached upon.
• It is used for slopes at a incline between 45° to 70°.
• It is used for slopes with a expectation that vegetation cover rate should be of more than 60%.
• It is also used for the case of retaining wall construction.
• It is used for cases of lattice girder combined with seed-nutrient and soil bags (hexagonal wire mesh should be applied upon the girder and bags).
• It is used for cases of artificial stone made mainly by reinforced concrete.
• Two layers of hexagonal wire mesh are indispensable for the technique of thick layer of substrate and seeds sprayed.
