Erosion Control Blankets

Protecting disturbed soil from erosion while vegetation takes hold is one of the most time-sensitive challenges on any active construction site. Western Green Temporary Erosion Control Blankets give contractors a proven, field-tested line of products to cover slopes, channels, and disturbed areas quickly and effectively, holding soil in place and creating the right conditions for seed germination and root development from the moment they are installed.

Western Green blankets are available in four configurations to match the slope gradient, soil erodibility, and rainfall intensity of your project:

For projects where every material going into the ground needs to be fully biodegradable, the Western Green All Natural line delivers the same proven slope and channel protection as the standard Western Green blankets without any synthetic components. From the netting to the fill material, every element of the All Natural series is designed to break down completely as vegetation establishes, leaving nothing behind but healthy, stabilized soil.

Western Green All Natural blankets are the right choice for projects in or near sensitive waterways, wetlands, and environmentally regulated areas where synthetic materials are restricted or undesirable. They are also increasingly specified on public and municipal projects where sustainability requirements, environmental permits, or owner preferences call for fully natural erosion control solutions.

North American Green is one of the most recognized and widely specified names in erosion control, with a product line built to perform across the full range of slope gradients, soil conditions, and rainfall intensities encountered on active construction sites. Their temporary erosion control blankets protect disturbed soil surfaces from the moment they are installed, giving vegetation the stable, moisture-retaining environment it needs to germinate and establish before erosion forces have a chance to take hold.

North American Green temporary blankets are available through GETSCO in four configurations, each matched to progressively more demanding slope and channel conditions.

When a project requires erosion control materials that leave absolutely nothing synthetic behind, North American Green BioNet blankets deliver. Every component in the BioNet line is 100% biodegradable, from the netting to the fill material, making them the right choice for environmentally sensitive sites, regulated waterways, and projects where sustainability requirements drive material selection from the ground up.

BioNet blankets perform the same slope and channel protection functions as the standard North American Green line while meeting the stricter material requirements that come with wetland permits, riparian buffer regulations, and green building specifications. As vegetation establishes and matures, the BioNet blankets break down completely and naturally, leaving healthy, stabilized soil and a self-sustaining vegetated surface with no cleanup, no removal, and no synthetic residue.

An erosion control blanket is only as effective as the installation behind it. Proper anchoring keeps blankets in full contact with the soil surface, prevents wind uplift and edge lifting during storm events, and ensures the blanket performs as designed from the day it goes down. GETSCO carries the full range of installation accessories needed to complete any erosion control blanket installation, whether the job calls for wire staples on a standard slope, hardwood stakes in rocky or compacted ground, or biodegradable plastic stakes on an environmentally sensitive site.

Selecting the right accessory comes down to the soil conditions, the blanket type, and the project’s environmental requirements. Wire staples work well in most standard soil conditions and are available in three lengths to match varying blanket thicknesses and soil penetration requirements. Hardwood stakes provide a stronger, more rigid anchor option for harder or rockier soils where wire staples may not penetrate or hold adequately. Biodegradable plastic stakes offer a fully natural anchoring solution for projects where no synthetic materials can remain in the ground after the blanket breaks down.
