Soil erosion can be an expensive problem. Stabilizing slopes that can get easily eroded away can be difficult. It is important to slow down the surface water in order to prevent erosion. However, for you to be able to slow down the water, you may need erosion control products such as erosion control blankets.

Erosion control blankets will mask the slopes effectively especially in channels with heavy flows which makes the area prone to erosion. Usually, these blankets are made from biodegradable substances such as coconut and straw. The woven materials are meant to slow down the speed of the water from the slope which causes the soil to erode. Most of these blankets can be purchased in different sizes.

As soon as you have already purchased the blanket, the installation is quite simple; however, your main concern is to make sure that the water moves on top of the blanket or it will defeat the purpose of having such device. For you to be able to do this, you need to create a small dugout on the top of the slope and place the top end of the blanket into the trench to line it. In order to line the blanket, you need to fold the edge underneath itself and secure it using some staples.

Using these types of blankets can provide protection from soil erosion and promote the establishment of vegetation on slopes and low-flow channel applications where bare-ground seeding and loose mulch are not effective. Usually, these types of blankets can last for up to twelve months or more.

These soil erosion control blankets are often used to temporarily stabilize and protect the soil from erosion in order to increase infiltration and decrease soil crusting and compaction. Aside from that, it also helps in conserving soil moisture.

In addition, erosion control blankets can also help in protecting the seeds from the predators, reducing desiccation, and promoting evaporation through insulating the soil and the seed environment. These devices are used on the slopes soils that are prone to soil erosion. Usually, it is used in steep slopes where the possibility and hazards of erosion are high. Often, these blankets are used in these steep or critical slopes where erosion can most likely happen.

One of the most popular advantages of these control blankets would be to provide immediate stabilization of the soil surface. The blanket can provide excellent protection for at least a season. However, before you install the blanket on the slope, it should be smooth and the surface should be uniform. This will make sure that the blanket is in complete contact with the soil. When installing, you can anchor the blankets using staples but you have to make sure that it is properly installed or it will not work as expected.
