20" Coconut Logs for Erosion Control
Erosion control logs are an all-natural solution for managing sediment and controlling runoff in sensitive environments. Each 20-inch diameter coir log fits securely into existing land contours, helping to stabilize soil, reduce erosion, and filter stormwater flow. Lightweight and easy to install, these logs offer a typical lifespan of 2 to 5 years, depending on site conditions.
Biodegradable Erosion Control Logs Details
Built from densely packed coir fiber, these 20-inch diameter erosion control logs help anchor soil on slopes, embankments, and waterways. Their flexible design allows them to conform to uneven ground, creating natural barriers that slow water flow and trap sediment. Over time, they support native plant growth as the biodegradable material gradually decomposes. Most installations provide effective erosion control for 2 to 5 years, depending on environmental factors.

20" Erosion Control Logs Specifications
Standard Density Coir Logs
Standard density coir erosion control logs are designed for typical site conditions where moderate sediment control is needed. Made from 100% biodegradable coir fibers enclosed in a 2-inch by 2-inch coir netting, these logs offer reliable slope stabilization and encourage native vegetation growth as they gradually break down over time. A budget-friendly option, they are well-suited for general erosion control applications on slopes, construction sites, and waterways.
High Density Coir Logs
High density coir erosion control logs provide enhanced performance in more challenging environments. They are ideal for high-flow areas, steep slopes, streambanks, lakeshores, and other sites exposed to greater erosion forces. Constructed from densely packed 100% coir fibers inside a rhombic coir netting, these logs deliver long-lasting sediment control where stronger stabilization is required.
Pre-Drilled Coir Logs
Pre-drilled coir erosion control logs simplify installation by allowing stakes to be driven through pre-formed slots spaced approximately two feet apart. This design reduces the number of stakes needed and provides convenient options for integrating live plantings. Pre-drilled logs are available in both standard and high-density styles and can be ordered in a variety of sizes to match project requirements.

Coconut Logs Erosion Control Frequently Asked Questions
Coconut coir logs have a typical lifespan of 2 to 5 years, depending on your site conditions. These conditions could be the slope of hillside, wind, rain, water flows, and the climate of your site. Fluctuating weather patterns and storms can influence how your biodegradable erosion control logs will hold up and perform during its lifespan. Different diameters of coconut logs will be able to handle different flows and water stream sizes.
Coconut logs are great for use with vegetation and plants. The natural properties of the erosion control log encourage plant growth. By using seedlings and saplings with your fiber logs for erosion control, you help establish strong root systems that will theoretically last long after your biodegradable erosion control logs have degraded.
