EROSION CONTROL

Shop erosion-control plants for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida.

Our Erosion Control Plants collection includes grasses, groundcovers, shrubs, and trees selected to help cover exposed soil, slow surface runoff, and support soil stabilization. These plants are useful for slopes, drainage areas, pond edges, roadsides, large properties, commercial landscapes, restoration projects, and areas where rainfall can wash away loose soil.

Healthy plant roots help bind soil together, while foliage can reduce the force of rainfall striking bare ground. Planting several compatible species can create different root depths, improve coverage, and provide a more natural appearance.

Choosing Plants for Erosion Control

Select plants according to the conditions of your property:

• Sunny, Dry Slopes: Choose drought-tolerant grasses, groundcovers, and spreading shrubs.
• Wet or Occasionally Flooded Areas: Select plants that tolerate changing moisture levels.
• Pond and Stream Edges: Use moisture-tolerant plants suited to the waterline and surrounding soil.
• Shaded Slopes: Choose plants that establish and spread with limited direct sunlight.
• Sandy Soil: Look for plants with fibrous or spreading root systems that tolerate fast drainage.
• Large Restoration Areas: Combine grasses, shrubs, and trees to provide several layers of vegetation.

Popular erosion-control choices may include Pink Muhly Grass, Lomandra, native grasses, groundcovers, spreading shrubs, and deeply rooted native trees. Availability varies by season and container size.

Planting Information

Prepare the area by removing invasive weeds and correcting severe drainage problems before planting. Space plants closely enough for their mature canopies to meet and cover exposed soil.

Water regularly during establishment, even when using drought-tolerant plants. Mulch between new plants to protect bare soil until the plants fill in, but keep mulch away from stems, trunks, and plant crowns.

For steep slopes, active gullies, shorelines, or areas experiencing significant water movement, plants may need to be combined with erosion-control fabric, rocks, terraces, drainage improvements, or professional stabilization methods.

North Florida Growing Note

North Florida properties may contain sandy soil, clay, slopes, drainage ditches, pond banks, or areas that alternate between wet and dry conditions. Choosing plants that match the site’s sunlight, drainage, and soil moisture is essential for successful establishment and long-term erosion control.
