Blankets/Mats
STRAW BLANKET
Straw blankets were developed for moderate to steep slopes and low-flow channels where
erosion protection is required for only a short period during vegetation development.
The blankets are reinforced by a light weight photodegradable net with a uniform wheat
straw filler for soil erosion control and seed bed mulching. Straw blankets offer an
economic advantage over excelsior blankets.
Standard Straw Blanket: This straw blanket has only one
side of netting stitched on 1.5" centers with a average shear stress of 1.60 lb./ft.

netting stitched on 1.5" centers with a average shear stress of 2.25 lb./ft.

EXCELSIOR BLANKET
Excelsior blankets were developed for moderate to steep slopes and high-flow channels
where erosion protection is required for vegetative development and a moderate time after. The blankets are reinforced by a light weight photodegradable net with a uniform wood excelsior of 80% eight-inch or longer fiber lengths for soil erosion control and seed bed mulching. Standard color is a natural brown with an option for green on most products.
Standard Excelsior Blanket: This excelsior blanket has one
side of netting stitched on 3" centers with a average shear stress of 1.80 lb./ft.

BONDED FIBER MATRIX
Bonded Fiber Matrixs were developed using mulch mixed with tackifiers to produce a blow on
blanket. Only one product, Soil Guard, has been tested and accepted by the state of Texas
to replace blankets. Soil Guard is approved for all class 1 uses. Because Soil Guard
can be applied with hydroseeding equipment most of the labor cost and time to install a
blanket is eliminated. For further information see click here or visit

Unlike traditional erosion blanket/mat this prodoct:
- Adhers to the soil and leaves no voids.
- Provides a natural environment that allows seed to germinate quickly.
- Labor saving with one step erosion control, no need to lay down blanket.
- Steep slopes are not as labor intensive or potentially dangerous to install.
