Erosion Control

We all recognize the impact of erosion – but what can be done to avoid or abate it?

At Aguinaga, here in Orange County east of Irvine Lake, we work and live in the pristine natural environment of Baker canyon, enjoying nature at its best and also experience first hand vulnerability, when it comes to erosion.

Notice how rich sandy loam soil has been totally stripped from a hillside leaving only rock and underlying clay-laden material which will have difficulty fostering growth.

Notice how even relatively gentle hill slope still is invaded with downward rivulets gouging away material and leaving an unsightly path behind.

Notice how a gulley is easily formed as water collects and looks for an exit to the lowest level it can find.

Now by comparison, note how mulch covered hillsides – gentle as well as steep - are basically intact, and even after the heavy rains we have experienced, remain with their grasses attached. Aguinaga continues erosion research with Cal State riverside and continuously monitors testing on erosion remediation materials.

The first step in processing clean green waste at Aguinaga involves the use of a diesel driven thousand horsepower grinder, which chews up chunks of trees to two feet in diameter in seconds, and will produce hundreds of yards of material per hour.

Forest Floor Mulch - We are the ONLY Producer

“FOREST FLOOR” MULCH: THE STORY

There is a very special connection between the Aguinaga family and the reason their company has remained in business since 1947: meticulous attention to detail in understanding, manufacturing, and supplying superior products.

Years ago, Roger Aguinaga was studying the symbiotic relationship that occurs in composting clean green materials. He very quickly grasp the fact that the wide range of close and long term biological interactions between bacteria and other unlike organisms where relationships exist, is either beneficial or even necessary for their survival.

To make a superior product, it would be absolutely necessary to assure this natural relationship was both promoted and maintained in the Aguinaga products.

The composting process that Aguinaga has applied for years has some very specific controls and requisites as to time and temperature in processing, that allow beneficial and natural micro-organisms to survive and prosper - at the same time destroying the seeds and pathogens which exist in collected clean green material before it is processed - that would result in the growth of weeds in the final mulch products.

In contemplating a special name for the superior and special product that resulted, Roger thought the naturalness of the forest appropriate and obtained the registered trade mark “FOREST FLOOR” for the Aguinaga product line.

Real “FOREST FLOOR” is only available from Aguinaga Green, Inc.
