American Excelsior - 4' X 50' Biodegradable Straw Blanket with Single Sided Net

The AEC Premier Straw Single Net erosion control blanket provides temporary organic coverage to protect topsoil and enhance grass seed germination on slopes and low-velocity channels. This lightweight, biodegradable blanket is made from agricultural straw stitched to a single polypropylene net on the top side. Designed for short-term erosion control, it is ideal for 3H:1V slopes and areas with moderate water flow. Easy to install and handle, this blanket is a reliable solution for site stabilization and vegetation growth support.
