Dealing with erosion - 02/15/23 03:18 AM
Hi.
I have a recently constructed pond and there are several entry points where water from the watershed drains into the pond. At those points there is quite a bit of erosion, especially following heavy rains. I'm planning on putting down erosion blankets and seeding the banks, but at certain points the quantity of water is so large that I don't think an erosion blanket will help. See attached photo.
Was thinking about dumping and spreading a truckload of rock. What are best practices for dealing with erosion at the entry points of a pond?
Thanks,
Stuart
