When the skies open up in Mendocino County, the job doesn’t stop but it definitely gets messier. Whether you’re running a grading crew, overseeing a vineyard buildout, or managing infrastructure upgrades, fall weather can throw a wrench in even the best-planned project.
At Stevenson Supply & Tractor Co., we’ve worked with contractors, developers, and survey crews for over 100 years. We’ve seen what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to working through the rainy season. So we’ve put together this no-fluff list of rain-ready essentials that’ll help keep your site safe, compliant, and moving forward.
Here are 8 fall products that belong in your jobsite game plan, especially if you’re looking for landscape erosion control products in Mendocino County.
Got slopes? You’re gonna want these. Straw wattles help slow down runoff, trap sediment, and keep loose soil from washing downhill when the rain starts pouring.
Why they’re worth it:
You’ll see these lined up along vineyard roads, drainage ditches, and jobsite perimeters all across the county, because they work.
The classic go-to for erosion control. A properly installed silt fence will hold sediment in place and let the water seep through nice and slow.
Solid for:
We carry DOT-approved versions, and if you’re working in public right-of-way areas, that might just save your bacon come inspection day.
If you’re wrapping up a project this fall and need to stabilize bare soil, hydroseeding is your best bet. It’s fast, efficient, and gets vegetation growing before winter hits.
Use it for:
Need a mix that’s native-friendly? We’ve got custom blends made for Mendocino County’s unique climate and terrain.
Nobody likes tracking mud all over the street or into nearby driveways. These mats help knock the muck off your tires before you leave the site.
Why they’re a smart move:
You can reuse ‘em across jobs, and we even have eco-friendly options made from salvaged wood.
Simple tools that go a long way. These are great for slowing down runoff and directing water where it needs to go, especially on sloped driveways or around drain inlets.
Best for:
Your crew isn’t going to work efficiently if they’re soaked, cold, and miserable. Stock up on proper rain gear now so nobody’s scrambling mid-storm.
What to grab:
We keep this stuff in stock because we know you don’t want to wait for shipping when the rain’s already falling.
These are the unsung heroes of wet-weather construction. Whether you’re reinforcing access roads or lining a trench, geotextiles help you manage mud and keep things in place.
Options we recommend:
Ask us what fabric type fits your job, we’ll steer you in the right direction.
Here’s the deal: you can have the best erosion control plan in the world, but if your materials don’t show up when you need them, you’re stuck. That’s why we prioritize on-time delivery, especially once the weather turns.
We deliver:
Just give us a call, we’ll get it loaded and headed your way.
