Erosion Control Products

Temporary products, such as straw erosion control blankets and sediment logs, are biodegradable and designed to protect soil during construction or until vegetation establishes — typically lasting 3 months to 3 years. Permanent solutions like Flexamat, Concrete Canvas, and cellular confinement systems provide indefinite protection and are engineered for long-term infrastructure applications.

Yes. Many products in our lineup are specifically designed to encourage vegetation establishment. Erosion control blankets retain moisture and warmth to aid seed germination. ScourStop and Flexamat allow grass to grow through the mat surface. BioChar soil amendments improve root penetration and nutrient absorption, while coir fiber logs support plant colonization along shorelines.

For steep slopes, double-netted erosion control blankets are rated for up to 1:1 slopes. Cellular confinement geocells stabilize soil on flat and steep terrain. Flexamat and Concrete Canvas offer permanent hard armor options for high-angle embankments. Sediment logs can also be staked across steep slopes to intercept and slow runoff.

Several products in our lineup meet NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) requirements. ScourStop and select erosion control blankets are specifically listed as NPDES-compliant. Sediment logs, inlet protection devices, and the Road Drain Portable Sediment Containment System also support NPDES compliance on construction sites. Contact Coleman Moore for project-specific compliance guidance.

For waterways and shorelines, coir fiber logs provide natural biodegradable stabilization and sediment filtration. Kyowa Filter Units offer permanent anti-scour and riverbed protection. Flexamat and Concrete Canvas handle high-velocity flows exceeding 30 feet per second. ScourStop delivers a vegetated, lower-maintenance alternative to traditional riprap for stream banks and culvert outlets.

Biodegradable products like coir logs, straw blankets, and hydroseeding mulch are ideal for environmentally sensitive areas or projects where the goal is vegetation establishment over time. Synthetic and composite products like geogrids, cellular confinement, and Concrete Canvas are better suited for permanent structural reinforcement and high-stress hydraulic environments requiring long-term durability.
