New Road

We have been really busy lately with the layout of a new road on the van Resnburg Avenue stretch. The reason being for this is that the old road is very worn away by the constant use as well as the elements. This is the perfect example of an Eroded road.

The new design of the road is to be made in such a way as to negate the possibility of erosion in the future. The road is being made with a little more curve in the road so that any natural run off areas from rain fall flows into the bush rather than cause a river down the road.

We added to the road by laying branches and fallen sickle bush along the sides of the road to assist in the regrowth of the bush around the roads, the dying materials feed valuable nutrients back into the soil so that pioneer grasses can start growing again. Once these pioneer grasses start feeding their nutrients into the soil, even better grasses and plants can start growing.
