Bye Bye Erosion Problem

Are you sick and tired of all the rain we have been receiving?! Is it causing erosion problem throughout your yard?? Why not try installing a dry creek bed! Not only is this DIY project simple it is also very cost efficient!

The only needed materials are: landscape fabric, river rock, and river gravel. The landscape fabric will be placed down first in order to prevent weeds from growing throughout your dry creek bed, but will still allow enough air and water through to permeate the soil. The river rock will then be placed on top of the landscape fabric as a base for your dry creek bed. If there are larger pieces you may want to consider creating a focal point to make your project more attractive. Once you have your base down you will then place the river gravel on top of the river rock and fill in any gaps within your dry creek bed, and then your project will be complete!

I can assure you that you will not regret taking the time to create your own dry creek bed in order to stop an erosion problem, and add character to your yard!
