Erosion Control Blanket & Accessories



What are erosion control blankets?
Erosion control blankets (ECBs) combine forces with vegetation using "natures own way" as an erosion preventer. This stops the loss of soil on steep slopes, banks and channels.

How do ECBs actually work?
ECBs hold seed and soil in place, degrading over time as vegetation becomes established. ECBs also protect the soil and accelerate vegetative development. Landlok ECBs also protect developing vegetation against water and wind erosion, provide the soil surface with partial shading, moderation of soil temperatures and moisture retention.

What are ECBs made from?
The ECBs we are carrying are made from weed-free straw and coconut fibers and polypropylene. Should you need a much aggressive ECB, we can suggest which to use since there are various types for all applications.

How are ECBs anchored into place on the slope or bank?
U-shaped wire staples or metal geotextile pins are used to anchor the mat to the ground surface. Wire staples and the metal pins should be driven flush to the soil surface. All anchors should be 6-8" long and have sufficient ground penetration to resist pullout. Longer anchors may be required for loose soils. Heavier metal stakes may be required in rocky soils.

So, if you are having a difficult time growing grass on steep slopes around your pond or lake, you may select from the many different types of ECBs we carry. See the list below.
