What Is a Coconut Erosion Control Blanket?

A coconut erosion control blanket is a protective covering made from coconut fiber that is placed over exposed or seeded soil. This Enviroscape blanket uses 100% coconut fiber held by double, photodegradable netting.As a biodegradable erosion control blanket, it helps protect soil while vegetation becomes established. Each roll is 8 feet by 113 feet and covers up to 904 square feet.

Do Erosion Control Blankets Work?

Yes. Erosion control blankets are used on exposed or seeded soil to prevent erosion, washout, and seed loss while vegetation is being established.Good contact between blanket and soil is important, especially on slopes and channels. Secure the blanket with the appropriate staples so it stays in place under the expected environmental conditions.

What Is the Best Use for Coconut Matting?

Coconut matting is well suited to steep slopes, drainage channels, and shorelines where you need longer erosion protection. This product is recommended for 1:1 slopes or steeper and high-flow channels.A coir erosion control blanket can conform to soil contours and is suitable for uneven ground. This coir blanket offers erosion protection for up to three years. For moderate slopes and medium-flow channels, Straw-Coconut Erosion Control - Biodegradable is another option.

How Long Does a Coconut Blanket Last?

The Enviroscape coconut erosion control blanket provides up to 3 years of erosion protection. This makes it ideal for areas needing long-term erosion control while vegetation is getting established.Erosion control materials can be affected by environmental conditions over time. Make sure to check regularly that the blanket is secure and touching the soil.

Coconut vs. Straw Erosion Blanket: Which Should I Use?

A coconut erosion control blanket is better suited to steeper grades and areas that need longer protection. This coconut blanket provides erosion protection for up to three years and is recommended for 1:1 slopes or steeper and high-flow channels.Straw is generally the lower-cost choice for gentler slopes and shorter-term erosion control. For a broader comparison of blanket materials and applications, you can also use Rivendell's erosion control blanket guide. It covers straw, straw-coconut, and coconut options for different slopes and protection periods.

A coconut erosion control blanket protects exposed or seeded soil from erosion until vegetation can be established. The blanket is placed directly on the earth (ground), forming a physical barrier that prevents soil surface erosion and reduces loss of seeds due to runoff. This is particularly useful if you need extra protection on steep slopes and other areas where loose soil can wash away.

Made from 100% coconut fiber with double, photodegradable netting, the blanket conforms to the contours of the soil. Each roll is 8 ft. wide and 113 ft. long, covering up to 904 sq. ft. It protects against erosion for up to three years.

Coconut erosion control blankets can be used on slopes, drainage channels and shorelines. The Enviroscape blanket is recommended for 1:1 slopes or steeper and high-flow channels where the soil may need longer protection. Its coconut fiber construction makes it suitable for projects that require longer-term erosion control while plants become established.

Water moving over exposed soil can carry away loose particles and newly planted seed. On a slope, faster water flow can also create channels in the soil and make it harder for vegetation to establish. A coconut fiber erosion control blanket is laid on the soil surface and helps to stabilize the area, providing longer lasting erosion protection.

Good soil contact is important. The blanket conforms to the ground to provide coverage on uneven areas in slopes and channels. The blanket is also fastened to help hold it in place where runoff or higher flows could otherwise disturb the underlying soil.

These coconut coir mats are especially good if you need erosion protection for a longer period of time. Common applications include steeper grades, drainage channels and shorelines. You can use this product on 1:1 slopes or steeper, and in high-flow channels.

Each roll is 8 feet by 113 feet and covers up to 904 square feet, so you have a clear figure when estimating materials for a project. Each roll of the blanket weighs 40 pounds and provides erosion protection for up to three years. After installing, check that the blanket is still secure and making contact with the soil.
