GENERALLY
Soil stabilization – General Preamble: Earth-retaining and stabilizing materials are often specified as part of the earth-forming work in landscape contracts, therefore this section lists a number of products specially designed for large-scale earth control. There are two types: rigid units for structural retention of earth on steep slopes; and flexible meshes and sheets for control of soil erosion where structural strength is not required. Prices for these items depend on quantity, difficulty of access to the site and availability of suitable filling material; estimates should be obtained from the manufacturer when the site conditions have been determined.
