How long does jute netting last?
Jute Netting is supplied in a 4 ft. x 225 ft. roll. Fully biodegradable in 2 to 3 years depending on soil and weather conditions.How do I install erosion control netting?

Stop about every 25 feet to pull the mat straight and pull up any excess slack, ensuring good contact with the soil beneath the mat.Why do we need erosion control?
Why is Erosion Control Important? Erosion is the process of soil, rock and other particles displacing from a location by wind and/or water (like Stormwater runoff). Erosion and sediment control is very important because erosion affects wildlife, public and private property, and contributes to pollution.How much are erosion control blankets?
