Erosion Control

Erosion control netting is an open mesh that holds seed and soil on slopes while grass establishes. Erosion control blankets are denser mats that add more soil protection and moisture retention for steeper or more exposed sites. Choose netting for moderate slopes and quick establishment; blankets for harsher conditions needing more cover.

Biodegradable netting and blankets break down naturally once vegetation establishes, leaving nothing to remove, which suits most seeding and slope-stabilization jobs. Synthetic products last longer for permanent applications and severe long-term erosion. For typical grass establishment on slopes, biodegradable is the standard and lowest-maintenance choice.

Lay netting down the slope, anchor the top edge in a trench, and secure it with stakes or staples at the spacing the product specifies, overlapping adjacent strips. Good soil contact is essential, since netting that bridges over gaps lets water channel underneath and undercut the seedbed. More anchors on steep grades.

Yes, that is the design. Seeded grass grows up through the mesh while the netting holds soil and seed in place during the vulnerable establishment period. Biodegradable netting then decomposes as the established root system takes over soil-holding duties. Seed under the netting, or use products with seed-friendly mesh openings.

Any bare, disturbed slope benefits, and the steeper the grade, the more aggressive the product needed. Gentle slopes may hold with netting and seed; steep cuts and channels need blankets or heavier matting with dense anchoring. Match the product's rated slope and flow conditions to the site, since under-speccing leads to washout.

Yes. Netting, blankets, and the stakes and anchoring pins that secure them are stocked together in project quantities with volume pricing by quote. Ordering fabric and anchors as a matched set ensures the right anchor density for the product and avoids stalling a job waiting on stakes.
