Protection for One Growing Season

Short term erosion control blankets provide immediate soil protection on disturbed sites where stabilization is required during early construction and establishment phases. Designed to shield exposed soil from rainfall and surface runoff, these blankets help maintain slope integrity while supporting seed germination and early vegetation growth.

Ero-Guard manufactures short term erosion control blankets engineered to perform for up to one growing season. These systems are commonly specified for moderate slopes and low flow channels where temporary protection is required without sacrificing long-term site performance. Materials are selected to balance tensile strength, functional longevity, and controlled biodegradation.

Ero-Guard short term blankets are available in multiple constructions to support varying site requirements.

  • Rapid Degrade blankets provide effective soil stabilization during early growth periods, then break down naturally within approximately forty five to sixty days depending on sunlight exposure and site conditions.
  • Natural Net blankets deliver comparable erosion protection while remaining fully biodegradable, making them well suited for environmentally sensitive areas and restoration-focused projects.

Designed for efficient installation and predictable performance, short term erosion control blankets help crews maintain progress while meeting erosion and sediment control requirements. As vegetation becomes established, the blanket degrades naturally, eliminating the need for removal and supporting successful site stabilization.
