Erosion Control Explained

Reducing erosion is an essential part of any project no matter how big or small. Mutual Industries now offers you the ultimate weapons in the fight against soil erosion. Our temporary, long term and permanent erosion control blankets are available in several styles, each progressively more durable to handle a variety of conditions. Applications for these blankets range from: gradual to steep slopes; low to moderate flow channels; to streambank and shoreline protection. For all of these applications, the proper preparation of soil surface is important to ensure the blanket’s performance. To ensure that the blankets are properly secured, we suggest that you follow the installation and stapling guidelines. Recommended installation and staple patterns may vary depending upon slope grade, slope length, soil type and water flow rates. For more detailed information, please contact Mutual Industries at (800) 523-0888.
