Demonstrating How To Install Affordable Erosion Control | Cedar Tree Revetment Part 2

In this video, Colt Hamilton walks through the complete process of installing a cedar tree revetment for creek bank stabilization. Using a simple demonstration setup, we explain how to properly anchor cedar trees, position eco blocks, run cable, overlap trees, and prevent washouts during floods.

We also cover:

• Why trees should point downstream

• How eco blocks keep trees from floating

• Common mistakes that cause revetment failure

• Why older “duck bill anchor” systems often fail in rocky Ozark streams

• Tips for building a revetment that lasts

This method has proven to be a cost-effective solution for protecting streambanks, trapping sediment, and creating the conditions needed for native vegetation to establish. Remember — the cedar trees are only the beginning. Long-term success comes from establishing vegetation and rebuilding the bank naturally over time.
