Erosion Control

Hessian Grass Strike is a tight weave mesh that can be used to establish grass. Seed is spread on surface of soil then Hessian mesh is laid on top to prevent soil erosion and bird damage. This still allows a degree of light and moisture to germinate seed but provides protection from elements at the same time. The fabric is 304gsm. 

When installing the mesh, we recommend a pin for every square metre in the middle of the mat, and every half square metre on the edges and overlaps. It's critical to pin securely as the wind can get under it and come up.
 

EcoCoir Blanket – an Eco-Friendly Coconut Mat

EcoCoir is a product used extensively on sloping sites where erosion is likely from wind and rainfall. Made from natural coconut fibre, the EcoCoir will also facilitate plant growth by providing insulation cover to the spreading root systems of plants. EcoCoir comes in both 300gsm and 450gsm grades with 50m rolls 2.4m width for quick and efficient laying.

This blanket is a Jute Reinforced Grade which is a completely natural product. The standard PP reinforcing is replaced with natural jute and cotton thread.

Benefits

A sustainable mat for a sustainable future

Whether it be our biodegradable coconut mat, or one of our other innovative products, we’re always seeking new ways to promote environmentally friendly approaches to landscaping and gardening. This is why our clients choose to purchase from us as they share our philosophy for minimising our carbon footprint on the planet.

Important Installation Information
Before installing mulch matting or weed matting thorough eradication of weeds from the area to be covered is strongly recommended.  We advise spraying the site with organic spray, allowing a day or two before installing the matting.
When installing the matting, we recommend rolling this out and if using more than one roll, ensure it overlaps by 10cm.
Pinning the matting - At the edges, pin every 0.5m metres and in the middle pin every 1m. 
Planting it out - When planting out, using shears or a sharp pair of commercial scissors, cut an inverted T shape and open flaps to insert plant.

Applications

Features/Benefits

EcoCoir logs are a totally biodegradable solution for controlling erosion on hills, banks, stream boundaries, shorelines etc. They are easy to install, provide immediate erosion control and create the perfect microclimate for the establishment of new plantings. They biodegrade in 3-5 years giving ample time for plantings to take over.




 

EcoWool EC450 is a biodegradable wool blanket used for temporary erosion and sediment control along with landscaping and revegetation applications.

Manufactured in New Zealand from 100% local wool fibre & Dag Wool, EcoWool EC450 is densely needle punched to provide superior erosion control on slopes and swales to protect soil and seed until adequate establishment is achieved.

The permeability and moisture retention properties of EcoWool EC450, assist vegetation during dryer climates while providing the needed insulation in cooler months.

We always recommend using Advance Landscape Pins to secure your matting:

Important Installation Information
Before installing mulch matting or weed matting thorough eradication of weeds from the area to be covered is strongly recommended.  We advise spraying the site with organic spray, allowing a day or two before installing the matting. After installation, its recommended to install plants with 1-2 weeks as leaving it exposed increases the risk of weed penetration. Plants will additionally provide shade to prevent new weed growth, and eventually establish to allow full canopy closure.
When installing the matting, we recommend rolling this out and if using more than one roll, ensure it overlaps by 10cm.
Pinning the matting - At the edges, pin every 0.5m metres and in the middle pin every 1m. 
Planting it out - When planting out, using shears or a sharp pair of commercial scissors, cut an inverted T shape and open flaps to insert plant. 

EcoWool EC450 Benefits

• EcoWool™ mitigates erosion – EcoWool EC450 is designed to protect exposed soils from wind and rain, thereby preventing unwanted sediment runoff.
• EcoWool™ reduces planting stress – EcoWool EC450 stays damp for hours and allows effective penetration of water and fertilizer and circulation of air. These insulation properties reducing evaporation by absorbing moisture and in doing so releases heat. This keeps soil temperature up in cold conditions and protects against frosts.
• EcoWool™ feeds your plants - EcoWool EC450 contains the following nutrients: nitrogen, sulphur, sodium, potassium and magnesium. These nutrients are naturally released into the soil over time.
• EcoWool™ is easy on the eye - Visual pollution is today a greater consideration on revegetation projects than ever before. EcoWool EC450 merges unobtrusively with the natural landscape, however it can slowly bleach in direct sunlight over time.
• EcoWool™ lasts the distance - EcoWool EC450 is designed to gradually biodegrade over a short-term period after installation (may reduce in wet conditions), providing sufficient erosion control while plants establish.
• EcoWool™ is environmentally friendly – EcoWool EC450 is manufactured from cleaned waste wool and is natural and fully biodegradable

Typical Applications

• Slope protection (exposed faces)
• Channels and swale drains
• Erosion protection (wind, shoreline, stream bank and runoff erosion)
