Grow your own retaining wall to control soil erosion and stabilize slopes with the new Envirolok Vegetated Retaining Wall System.
Green landscaping just got greener with the introduction of the Envirolok Vegetated Retaining Wall System from Agrecol. This revolutionary concept provides a natural solution for erosion control, streambank and shoreline stabilization, stormwater management, and the creation of rain gardens and other functional green spaces.
VERSA-LOK Retaining Wall Systems distributes the Envirolok Vegetated Retaining Wall System in the Upper Midwest. Call 651-770-3166 to talk with a VERSA-LOK Midwest' sales representative.
Envirolok vegetated walls are built by weaving rows of soil-filled geotextile bags together into a cohesive barrier and locking them in place with spikes. Then, the face of the stacked bags is planted with native plants, sod and seed. Within weeks, plants grow through the bags and develop extensive root systems that lock into the native soil and form an ecologically sound vegetated erosion control system with permanent structural strength.
Choose from four special native plant seed mixes designed for use with the Envirolok system. Each mix includes a wide variety of grasses, sedges and wildflowers to suit your wall’s environment, depending on its proximity to sunlight and water.
An Envirolok vegetated wall:
- Grows deep-rooted perennial vegetation that locks, renews and improves the structure year after year
- Does not interfere with hydrological processes
- Provides habitat that’s safe for amphibious and aquatic species
- Retains oxygen and moisture
- Absorbs sound
- Moves with freeze/thaw cycles
Day 1. Envirolok retaining walls comprise rows of soil-filled geotextile bags, which
can be hydroseeded or planted with native plant plugs.
Day 15. Native plant roots grow into and through the soil-filled bags
Day 100. The deep roots of native plants stabilize soil and fight erosion naturally.
