Installation & Maintenance
For Slopes Up To 2:1 - Two (2) Horizontal to One (1) Vertical
During the growing season (see chart) use blankets on the base of waterways, soil slopes having a grade greater than 15%, or anywhere where hay mulch has proven to be ineffective at controlling sheet erosion. For over-winter protection, apply erosion control blankets on the base and side slopes of waterways and on slopes steeper than an 8% grade. Grade the slope to a smooth, even surface.
Remove any protruding rocks, stumps, or roots. Anchor the uphill end of each blanket in a trench at the top of the slope. Pin the blanket in the trench as shown in the detail and firmly pack soil in the trench so to cover the blanket edge. Roll the blanket down the slope and pin the blanket in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. It is critical that the blanket has firm, continuous contact with the underlying soil.
If needed, use additional pins to ensure firm contact. Overlap the sides and ends of blankets at least four inches. Uphill blankets must lap over downhill blankets. Pin the ends along the overlap every 12 inches. Inspect periodically until vegetation is abundant.
For a comprehensive list of seeding recommendations by geographic area, please refer to your local DOT or county agent office.
