Real World Installation of Erosion Control | Cedar Tree Revetment Part 3

In this video of the cedar tree revetment series, Colt Hamilton compares traditional rip rap projects with cedar tree revetments and explains why affordable, practical erosion control solutions matter for farms and rural properties.

We walk through an active erosion site, show how the revetment was installed, and look at what happens during the first flood when the stream begins to deposit sediment behind the cedar trees.

This video also covers:

• Why timing your seeding is important
• When to plant native vegetation
• How sediment buildup rebuilds streambanks
• What to expect during the establishment phase
• Why long-term success depends on vegetation

Healthy streams start with stable banks. Cedar tree revetments offer landowners a practical way to reduce erosion, improve habitat, and restore damaged waterways without the high cost of large rip rap projects.
