Excelsior Erosion Control Blankets

Protect soil and seeds with USA-Made Excelsior Erosion Control Blankets and sediment control products from your local distributor.

Excelsior Erosion Control Blankets have uniformly distributed 100% Aspen wood excelsior and 1 or 2 polypropylene nets. Degradable thread securely sews the nets together. This rolled erosion control product stabilizes areas with moderate erosion or low flows. For example, shorelines and hillsides. The wood excelsior fibers proficiently absorb water and protect against wind with their tough, biodegradable matrix. As a result, they offer premium sediment control to the earth and infant vegetation beneath. Ferguson Waterworks also stocks straw, jute, and coconut erosion control blankets.

For shipping, Ferguson Waterworks tightly wraps the compressed blankets. Furthermore, you’ll find the product label, code, and installation guide included. Lastly, we palletized the blankets for easy transportation.
