Basics of Landscaping (Part 5) | Slope Gradients and Guidelines for Spray Thickness

2017/02/07

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

 

This is just a personal note, but I'm going on a factory tour tomorrow! lol

And not just any company—the famous ○○ Industries!

When I called and asked if I could come take a look, they readily agreed!!

Thank you so much!!

I'm really looking forward to it!!

But that's beside the point.

 

There are only two more sessions left in the "Basics of Landscaping" (Determining Thickness) course, but,

This time, we'll be covering gradients.

 

If the slope is steep, the area exposed to the same amount of rainfall will be smaller.

In addition, as the flow velocity increases and the residence time decreases,

As a result, they will wither and die from dryness.

There are guidelines for spray thickness based on the slope.

Guidelines for Slope Gradients and Spray Thickness

Association of Agricultural Civil Engineering: Green Design for Restoring the Natural Environment p. 109

 

Generally, when calculating or evaluating thickness, we use references like these toWe will examine its validity.

 

See you later.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Landscaping projects used to be all the rage, but they’re becoming less and less common these days, aren’t they? Here’s a project from back in the day—this slope was probably built over 30 years ago. The reason is the treatment at the top. It’s been exactly 30 years since I entered this industry (it’s been a long time, but it felt like a blink of an eye…)

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. For vegetation restoration projects, there’s a two-year warranty against defects. What this means is that if the vegetation doesn’t take root within those two years, we’ll redo the work at no charge. So, building on the previous three posts, here’s the continuation of that series. Future vegetation…
