Grass/soil reinforcement products are synthetic, non-degradable soil and seedbed covers of variable thickness designed to provide short-term protection against raindrop and wind erosion, permanent support for vegetation on slopes, and permanent armoring and vegetation support for ditches, swales, and channels. They are composed of UV stabilized, synthetic fibers, filaments, nettings and/or wire mesh that are processed into three dimensional reinforcement matrices, a design that serves permanent and critical applications where site conditions exceed the limits of mature natural vegetation.
The addition of grass/soil reinforcement significantly improves the resilience and durability of the turf area while minimizing soil compaction. They provide permanent erosion control solutions by holding soil in place while allowing vegetation to flourish. They provide sufficient thickness, strength and void space to permit soil filling and/or retention and the development of vegetation within the matrix. Many times, serving as a stop gap between the saturated soil or “mud” and foot/vehicular traffic.
