Geist HOA: NATIVE PLANTING

---

Native plants installed around pond shoreline. All plants are identified and manually maintained dependant on species. Native plants beautify shorelines, protect against erosion, improve overall water quality and support local pollinators.

This is a multi-services site where we installed six different types of pond edge enhancements to stop erosion, filter water, and to serve as an educational demonstration site for Home Owners Associations.

During this project, we recovered four feet of an eroded bridge using soil tubes and native plants before regrading the surface with premium topsoil and blanketing. In addition, we repaired a section of shoreline using vegetated coir logs.

We regraded the slope and seeded before blanketing to protect the shoreline during plant growth. We seeded with premium turf seed, added premium topsoil, and an organic soil amendment to increase nutrient levels on the slope. This HOA is now compliant with city regulation.

This was a multi-stage project where we used organic soil amendments after regrading and seeding several eroded shorelines. Additionally, we repaired a detached inlet and added riprap to badly eroded sediment traps.
