Features
- 100% Biodegradable - The top of each blanket is covered with photo-degradable or biodegradable netting. The blankets are naturally seed-free and contain no chemical additives. This products dimensions are 4' x 112.5'.
- Safeguard Topsoil - Excelsior netting is intended to safeguard topsoil from water and wind erosion while also promoting the perfect growth environment for grass seed. Wet curled excelsior fibers increase slightly in-depth and connect to form a robust fiber matrix with a built-in swell.
- Versatile Product - Many industries use excelsior netting, particularly landscaping and road construction businesses and contractors working on residential, industrial, and commercial developments. They’ve also been used to improve drainage and waterways, and even landfill operators use them.
- Strong Wooden Fibers - Wet curled excelsior fibers slightly expand in thickness and interlock to form a strong, fiber matrix and creating a built-in swell factor. This allows the fibers to have close contact with the area it is placed upon. Basically, the mat clings to the soil with “barbed” fibers to reduce soil loss and strengthen the foundation.
- Provides Soil Nutrience - Aspen wood fibers are a renewable resource and act as mulch providing nutrients to the soil during breakdown. The fibers can be either natural or dyed green for instant color.

This 4' x 112.5' green erosion control blanket is a biodegradable excelsior mat designed to reduce soil loss and support grass seed establishment on slopes, embankments, and other disturbed sites. Wet-curled aspen fibers swell and interlock to form a fiber matrix that clings to soil while biodegradable/photodegradable netting holds the mat in place and the fibers add mulch and nutrients as they decompose.

Creative
Seeded Hill Mural
Cut and lay the rolls in shaped panels on a bare slope to create a living mural — e.g., waves, geometric patterns, or a logo. Pre-seed the blanket with a mix of grasses and wildflowers so the design fills in as the mat biodegrades. The green color of the blanket gives an instant preview and the excelsior fibers hold seed in place for reliable germination.
Temporary Green Carpet for Events
Use sections of the 4' x 112.5' roll as a temporary, biodegradable ‘green carpet’ for outdoor events or wedding aisles. The mat provides traction, a natural look, and can be disposed of on-site into composting after the event. For aesthetics, trim to width, layer on a breathable underlay, and edge with local stones or potted plants.
Planter & Raised Bed Liners
Line raised beds, large planters, or root-well forms with pieces of the blanket to retain soil, add organic mulch, and slowly release nutrients as it decomposes. Because it’s biodegradable and seed-free, it’s ideal for short-term beds or seasonal displays where you want structural support but eventual breakdown.
Textured Wall Panels and Rustic Art
Cut and mount flattened sections onto frames as a textured base for natural wall art or rustic signage. The wood-fiber texture takes paint, stains, or natural dyes well and can be embedded with dried botanicals or pressed seedheads for sculptural pieces that eventually break down if used outdoors.
Pollinator Berms and Mini Habitats
Form small berms or mounds covered with seeded blanket to create quick pollinator strips on a property edge. Seed with native wildflowers and establish bloom corridors for bees and butterflies. As the blanket decomposes it enriches the soil and encourages dense, long-lasting growth.
