Environmentally Friendly Erosion Control Straw Products
Straw erosion control products offer biodegradable solutions for stabilizing soil, filtering stormwater runoff, and supporting vegetation growth. These all-natural materials are commonly used on hillsides, construction sites, and environmentally sensitive areas where erosion control is critical. Our product line includes straw wattles, single-net and double-net straw blankets, and straw blankets reinforced with jute netting. Each option is made from 100% weed-free agricultural wheat straw. These products help secure loose soil, manage stormwater flow, and encourage plant growth as they gradually decompose.
Straw erosion control wattles provide a natural solution for managing stormwater flow and controlling sediment. These flexible, biodegradable barriers are often installed around construction site perimeters, along slopes, and near storm drain inlets to reduce runoff and capture sediment. In addition, straw erosion control blankets are placed directly on the ground to stabilize soil in vulnerable areas and promote vegetation growth. Available in single-net, double-net, and jute-reinforced options, these blankets gradually break down, supporting long-term site restoration without the need for removal.

Straw Logs, Blankets and Wattles - Green Erosion Control Products and Their Applications
Because straw erosion control products are made from 100 percent, all-natural materials, they won't harm the surrounding vegetation and wildlife. This makes them a "green" product that's environmentally friendly. Overtime the straw erosion control products naturally biodegrade. The lifespan of a straw erosion control product will depend on the product selected and specific site conditions. In areas like wetlands, national parks, and other protected areas that require specific erosion control solutions and have different regulations, straw products like wattles and blankets offer a gentle, yet effective solution.
Straw Wattles
Our straw erosion control products come in different strengths depending on the amount of erosion control needed in your area. Our straw erosion control wattles come in diameters of 9", 12", and 20" with lengths of 10' or 25', depending on the diameter. The straw blankets come in a variety of options when it comes to strength and durability. The single-net straw blanket is best used with a slope of 3:1, and the double net straw blanket is best used with a slope of 3:1 or 2:1. The doublet net straw blanket is great for slopes with medium flows, while the single net straw blanket is great for lower flows. For higher flows and steeper slopes, we also offer a variety of more durable coir fabric blankets
Straw Blankets
Straw erosion control blankets provide effective soil stabilization and promote vegetation growth on exposed slopes and disturbed soil areas. These biodegradable blankets are designed to hold soil in place, retain moisture, and create an optimal environment for seed germination. As the blanket gradually decomposes, it helps establish plant growth while minimizing erosion. For best results, straw blankets should be installed over properly seeded soil on unstable slopes or bare ground.
Straw Logs
Straw erosion control logs help manage sediment in ditches, around stormwater inlets, and on slopes. Constructed from 100 percent weed-free straw, these logs serve multiple erosion control functions. In ditches, they act as check dams to slow water flow and capture sediment. Around inlets, they reduce sediment-laden runoff. On slopes, they minimize soil movement during heavy rainfall. Logs are available in 9-inch, 12-inch, 16-inch, and 20-inch diameters, with standard lengths of 10 or 20 feet.
Certified Weed-Free Straw Erosion Control Products
Certified weed-free straw erosion control products help improve soil stability and promote vegetation growth without introducing invasive species. Using 100% weed-free agricultural wheat straw, these biodegradable materials support native plant establishment while providing effective erosion control. Straw wattles, single-net and double-net straw blankets, and other straw-based solutions protect slopes and disturbed soils from erosion. In addition, straw wattles can be incorporated into Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) to aid in stormwater filtration and perimeter control on construction sites.
