Excelsior blankets provide dependable erosion control for slopes, hillsides, parks, and riverbanks. Made from 100% Aspen wood shavings, these biodegradable blankets offer a sustainable, high-performing alternative to imported coir mats. Each mat is designed to stabilize soil, retain moisture, and support healthy seed germination. By holding both seed and soil in place, the blanket helps grass take root and thrive, even in challenging conditions. Manufactured in the United States, Excelsior seed blankets are cost-effective, easy to source, and ideal for use in landscaping, construction, and environmental restoration projects.
Erosion Control Blanket/Matting Features and Benefits
Excelsior erosion control blankets are made from biodegradable Aspen wood, providing an effective and environmentally friendly option for slope stabilization and sediment control. As each biodegradable erosion mat breaks down over time, it eliminates the need for removal. This reduces labor costs and supports low-maintenance landscaping. These mats are a practical solution for municipalities, public works crews, and contractors working on hillsides, drainage areas, and urban green spaces. As the material decomposes, it improves soil quality and supports grass seed matting, making it a reliable and sustainable erosion control product.
