Erosion Control Mats are the ideal hillside erosion-control solution. This three-dimensional reinforcement mat is made of continuously bonded nylon filaments that provide an empty matrix for soil and plants to take root.

This erosion mat is a lightweight open structure, with a 90%+ open matrix for soil vegetation growth. The open matrix is the most effective design for supporting hillside soil stabilization as both the soil and roots have space to intertwine through the mat. Also known as a Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRMs) are great for applications such as channels, hillside slopes, and even under grass sod.

The goal of this Erosion Control Mat is to encourage grass and vegetative growth on hillsides and reduce the wind and water run-off to protect the budding vegetation. Once the vegetation takes hold then the roots will help support the hillsides and prevent soil erosion.

Erosion Control Mats: A Comprehensive Guide to Hillside Soil Stabilization

Erosion Control Mats are a game-changer for hillside erosion management. These three-dimensional reinforcement mats, also known as Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRMs), are made of continuously bonded nylon filaments that create an open matrix for soil and vegetation to anchor and thrive. By fostering soil stabilization and promoting vegetative growth, they provide an eco-friendly solution to erosion challenges.

What Are Erosion Control Mats?

Erosion Control Mats are lightweight, open-structured mats designed to stabilize soil on hillsides, slopes, and channels. With a 90%+ open matrix, these mats encourage soil and root intertwining, offering the perfect environment for vegetation to grow while protecting the soil from the damaging effects of wind and water runoff.

Key Features:
• Three-Dimensional Structure: The continuously bonded nylon filaments create a durable matrix that supports both soil and vegetation.
• Lightweight Design: Easy to transport and install, making it an efficient choice for various applications.
• Open Matrix: The 90%+ open structure allows optimal soil-vegetation integration, enhancing stabilization.

Benefits of Erosion Control Mats

1. Enhanced Soil Stabilization
The open matrix design of Erosion Control Mats allows soil and roots to intertwine, creating a natural bond that reinforces the hillside and prevents soil movement. This is especially beneficial in areas prone to heavy rainfall or strong winds.
2. Promotes Vegetative Growth
These mats act as a protective layer, encouraging grass and other vegetation to grow by reducing surface runoff and wind erosion. As the plants establish, their roots further stabilize the soil, providing long-term erosion control.

3. Versatile Applications
Erosion Control Mats are effective in:

• Channels: Protecting soil from high water flow.
• Hillside Slopes: Preventing landslides and erosion on steep terrains.
• Grass Sod Underlayment: Providing additional support under sod installations.


4. Eco-Friendly Solution
By promoting natural vegetation, Erosion Control Mats reduce the need for artificial stabilization measures, making them an environmentally friendly choice for erosion management.

How Erosion Control Mats Work

The primary goal of Erosion Control Mats is to create a stable environment where vegetation can grow and take root. Here's how they achieve this:
1. Matrix Support: The open structure allows soil particles and plant roots to fill the spaces, creating a strong, interwoven system.
2. Runoff Reduction: By slowing down water flow, the mats minimize soil displacement and provide an ideal setting for vegetation.
3. Root Anchoring: As plants grow, their roots extend through the mat, anchoring the soil and forming a natural reinforcement system.

Installation Tips

To maximize the effectiveness of Erosion Control Mats, proper installation is crucial. Here are some steps to follow:

1. Prepare the Site: Remove debris and level the soil where the mat will be placed.
2. Secure the Mat: Lay the mat over the slope and anchor it using stakes or pins at regular intervals.
3. Seed the Area: Apply seeds evenly across the mat to encourage vegetation growth.
4. Water Regularly: Ensure the area is adequately watered to promote rapid germination and root establishment.

Real-World Applications

Channels
In channels with high water flow, Erosion Control Mats protect the soil from being washed away while supporting vegetation that further stabilizes the area.
Hillside Slopes
On steep terrains, these mats provide immediate erosion control while facilitating the growth of grass and other plants that anchor the soil over time.
Grass Sod Underlayment
When used beneath grass sod, Erosion Control Mats add a layer of support that helps the sod take root and prevents erosion during initial establishment.

Why Choose Erosion Control Mats?

Erosion Control Mats are a practical and sustainable solution for soil stabilization. Their lightweight, easy-to-install design, combined with their ability to promote vegetative growth, makes them a preferred choice for hillside erosion control projects. Whether you’re managing a challenging slope or protecting a channel, these mats provide the durability and flexibility needed for long-term success.

By encouraging natural vegetation and reducing the effects of erosion, Erosion Control Mats not only protect landscapes but also enhance their aesthetic and environmental value.
