Types of Erosion Control Blankets 

Selecting the right erosion control fabric means finding the best match for your specific landscaping needs. Erosion blankets are made of different filling materials that suit unique purposes, so consider factors such as the slope of your project, the type of soil, and the amount of rainfall to determine which erosion mat type best meets your needs. All of our erosion control blankets are available for pickup in large quantities and come in seven sizes: 2’ x 112.5’, 3’ x 112.5’, 4’ x 112.5’, 5’ x 112.5’, 6’ x 112.5’, 7’ x 112.5’ and 8’ x 112.5'.

Erosion Control Straw Blankets

Also known as straw matting, straw erosion blankets are often a top pick for landscapes with gentle slopes and little rain. Erosion control straw blankets are one of the more cost-effective erosion control methods.

Coconut Control Blankets 

If you’re looking for eco-friendly or biodegradable erosion control matting, coconut blankets – also known as coconut coir blankets – may be a good choice for you. Made from coconut fibers, these natural erosion mats offer a higher degree of stability that is perfect for steeper slopes and heavier rains.

Straw/Coconut Mix Erosion Blankets 

This blended straw/coconut erosion blanket combines the benefits of straw erosion control and coconut blankets. It is a mechanically stitch-bonded blanket, ensuring durability and as well as versatility.

Jute Erosion Control Blankets

Jute matting is the original form of erosion control matting. It is a biodegradable, eco-friendly option that’s ideal for low-rainfall climates. It is often used for temporary erosion control as protection from rainfall and run-off on shallow slopes.

Burlap Erosion Control Blankets

Erosion control burlap blankets are another great option for gentle slopes and light erosion, offering a solution for your short-term erosion control needs. They are cost-effective and biodegradable, although not as durable as straw erosion blankets.

Erosion Control Blanket FAQs

What Is An Erosion Control Blanket?

An erosion control blanket is a specially designed type of ground cover that helps to stabilize soil and promotes the growth of vegetation. Made from decomposable materials like jute, straw, or coconut fiber, these blankets give back to the Earth and also help shield the ground from the often destructive powers of Mother Nature. Whether you’re a professional landscaper or a beginner gardener, erosion control fabric will help you protect your land by softening the impact of heavy rains, stopping the dispersal of seeds by wind, and preserving moisture.

What Are The Benefits Of Erosion Control Products?

Erosion control fabric has many benefits, but its primary power is how effectively it can stop soil erosion. Easy to install and low-maintenance, erosion blankets work by anchoring down soil particles, which helps protect growing seeds and reduces the loss of precious topsoil. By purchasing erosion control matting, you’ll keep your wallet happy and also help your land grow to its maximum potential. Erosion control products like blankets also help plants grow better and faster, creating a self-sustaining defense against erosion.

How Long Do You Leave Erosion Control Blankets On?

Our erosion blankets are designed to degrade naturally over time. This process typically takes between 90 days to one year, depending on the type of erosion cloth material and the weather elements the blankets are exposed to. After they degrade, erosion control matting leaves behind healthy plants and stable soil – ideal conditions for long-term healthy, vigorous landscapes, farms, and gardens.

How To Install Erosion Control Blankets

To ensure you reap the full benefits of our erosion control matting, following these step-by-step instructions.

1) Prepare the site by clearing debris and creating a smooth seedbed.

2) Roll out the erosion control blanket snugly against the soil, ensuring it contours to the surface.

3) Secure the blanket with staples or erosion control stakes, starting at the top of the slope and working downloads.

4) Overlap edges by at least 3-4 inches if more than one blanket is needed to cover the area. 

5) Ensure the ends are buried, particularly at the crest of the slope to prevent undercutting by water.

After installation, we recommend checking the erosion netting periodically and making any necessary repairs to maintain effectiveness.
