"Gemella Design recommends Easy Living for landscape work because we have experienced the following. Easy living demonstrates: Strong communication skills needed to coordinate construction. Ability to interpret construction drawings with an aesthetic sensibility. A body of knowledge of construction, horticulture, design, and maintenance practices. An approach to the work that is team minded and to build relationships. Carry out work in a timely manner to meet project schedules. Negotiate fair budgets, and complete the work on budget with quality materials and workmanship.

In a Certified Erosion Control testing facility, an EcoBerm® has shown to be over 99% effective in reducing soil loss. These test results show that EcoBerm® compares with the highest rated BMP's in the industry in similar conditions.
EcoBerm® not only maintains a low cost for installation, but does not require removal or disposal and the expense associated with that extra process.
The patent pending BermBuilder™ combined with a single step pneumatic application and Microblend® additive creates a dependable system that insures the berm is installed to meet specified dimensions, and installed correctly with 100% ground contact.
An independent lab* has shown that the combination of Microblend® and the compost/mulch used to make EcoBerms greatly enhances the ability of the material to degrade hydrocarbons as water flows through its three dimensional matrix.
EcoBerm® uses no plastic materials in its construction. The fibrous matrix it forms with the help of the bonding capabilities of Microblend® give the necessary structure needed without non-biodegradable reinforcements. Made with recycled organics, the compost/mulch blend can be used as an earth friendly soil amendment at the completion of a project.
Other Advantages of EcoBerm®:
EcoBerm®, the patent-pending BermBuilder™, and Microblend® were tested at San Diego State University's Soil Erosion Research Laboratory and shown to reduce soil loss by over 99% in tested conditions. An S.T.A. approved independent microbiology laboratory, BBC Laboratories of Tempe, AZ, tested and showed that Microblend® greatly increased the hydrocarbon degradation capabilities of the compost/mulch materials used in EcoBerm®.
