July 19, 1993 <br /> From: <br /> Landview Landscaping <br /> 3670 Hwy 7 <br /> Excelsior, MN 55331 <br /> Stephen Spartz <br /> To: <br /> Advance Surveying&Engineering Co. <br /> 5300 S. Hwy. No. 101 <br /> Minnetonka, MN 55345 <br /> Jim Parker <br /> Attention Jim Parker, <br /> Landview Landscaping has used the American Excelsior Erosion Control blanket in the past and is <br /> pleased with the results. We have compared it to just installing sod and have made the following <br /> comments about the comparison. <br /> On steeper slopes where it is very difficult to lay sod we prefer to use the American excelsior Turf <br /> Reinforcement For the following reasons. <br /> 1. Sod comes in smaller units 1.5'X 6'whereas American excelsior comes in Larger units 8'X <br /> 100'. <br /> A. Usually if one unit of sod comes loose it leaves the others less secure because of <br /> undermining. <br /> B. Because of the larger units it leaves less room for error. <br /> C. It provides a great environment for all types of low vegetations spreading turf Reinforcements <br /> such as crow vetch. Wearers the sod would mainly stay as sod and slow down the growth rate of <br /> the better Crown Vetch(low profile good&root base). <br /> D. American Excelsior cost less and is easier to install. <br /> We just completed a project last week with the American excelsior Turf Reinforcement and were <br /> amazed at how much faster the seed grew where we used the Fabric then where we did not. I <br /> highly recommend the American Excelsior Fabric for the Susan Sumey Project. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 14#1" 311417 <br /> Stephen Spartz <br />
