Soil Saver™ and Soil Saver-Fine™ biodegradable erosion control blankets are open weave, pure geo-jute meshes designed to protect both seed and soil on bare surfaces vulnerable to surface erosion by rain, run-off and wind.

The fabrics mould easily to the ground contours; effectively control surface erosion; create a micro-climate which boosts plant development; and fully decompose once vegetation has established.

Consistently ranked as top performers under independent trials, and used extensively on a wide range of projects, Soil Saver™ biodegradable geo-jute erosion control meshes are widely acknowledged as the best, and most economical, solution where effective vegetation will establish within two to three years.

Hy-Tex Soil Saver™ biodegradable erosion control meshes are also of the highest quality - being imported directly from an ISO 9001 quality assurance accredited Indian jute mill.

Features/Benefits:

  • Protects seed and soil from stormwater run off

  • Fully biodegradable

  • Breaks down in 1-2 years

  • Cost effective solution

  • Protects seed against birds, animals and footfall traffic

  • Adaptable open weave

  • Environmentally friendly

  • Quick and easy to install

Guidance

  • We suggest 2.5 pins per m²

  • We suggest allowing 10% for wastage and laps

Soil Saver™,, and Soil Saver-Fine™, jute meshes are the most cost effective, environmentally friendly answer to erosion control.

Independent trials have consistently shown that more expensive natural fibre blankets, or synthetic mats, fail to match the overall benefits of jute meshes. Therefore, unless the erosion forces are harsh, or vegetation slow to establish, Soil Saver™ jute meshes are the best solution for temporary surface protection and the promotion of re-vegetation.
