Erosion Control Mulching Costs

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Construction unit cost for heavily mulching ground with straw for erosion control and general site improvement.

You'll frequently need to use this item close to buildings during mud season. You may also use it for steep slopes, culverts and other locations that have severe danger of erosion.

Unit Size

One square foot.

Labor Costs

We figure an unskilled worker can cover about 100 square feet per hour.

Material Costs

One straw bale per 16 square feet of ground area (approximately a 2" to 3" layer of loose straw).

Suggested Quantity

We suggest the entire yard area. However you'll probably only need this level of mulching on a smaller area.

Source of Construction Pricing

Based on job cost data from a variety of remodeling projects done by Turtle Creek Construction.
