Erosion Control and Revegetation for Very Steep Slopes and Critical Sites

EcoFlex™ Flexible Growth Medium™

represents cutting-edge hydraulic technology that provides immediate erosion protection, prevents soil loss and creates an environment for optimum plant emergence. It has been proven to perform on slopes exceeding 1H:1V and remain effective during sustained rainfall events. University testing documented that straw and excelsior blankets lost an average of 50 times more soil than Flexible Growth Medium (applied at 3,500 pounds per acre) after three, 30-minute repetitions over 3 days at a rate 3.5 inches of rain per hour on 2:H:1V sandy loam slopes.

EcoFlex is ideal for immediate, intermediate and long-term site protection. The combination of Thermally Refined® wood fibers, crimped man-made fibers and performance-enhancing additives form a lofty interlocking matrix, creating air space and water-absorbing cavities to accelerate germination, reduce the impact of raindrop energy and minimize soil loss.

• Can be used as an alternative to Erosion Control Blankets – at a lower installation cost
• Once applied on the soil surface, EcoFlex provides a continuous layer of protection
• High water-holding capacity within the medium maximizes moisture where water is limited
