Straw Erosion-Control & Grass Seed Germination Blanket – 8.5' x 112' (953 sq ft)

• Biodegradable Straw Material: Breaks down naturally as your lawn grows in.

• Single-Net Erosion Control: Ideal for flat to gently sloped residential areas.

• Large Coverage Area: Covers 953 sq ft—perfect for new lawns or large repair zones.

• Retains Moisture: Helps protect seed from drying out during critical germination stages.

• Reduces Soil Erosion: Prevents seed washout from rain, sprinklers, and runoff.

• Easy Installation: Lightweight, unrolls smoothly, and secures with erosion-control staples.

This blanket provides the ideal balance of affordability and performance, making it perfect for Dayton homeowners and landscapers. The biodegradable straw decomposes as roots strengthen, eliminating cleanup. Its single-net design is excellent for general lawn seeding jobs where you want reliable germination without the cost of heavy-duty erosion mats.

• Prepare soil, seed the area, and lightly rake seed into the top layer of soil.

• Unroll the blanket in the direction of water flow.

• Overlap edges by 2–4 inches for a continuous cover.

• Staple securely every 3–4 ft along edges and centerlines.

• Water thoroughly and keep the blanket moist until seedlings are established.

• Leave the blanket in place — it will break down naturally.

Q: Can grass grow through the blanket?
Yes — seedlings grow directly through the straw and netting as it decomposes.

Q: Will wind lift the blanket?
Not if properly stapled. Use 6" erosion-control staples for best results.

Q: Is this good for steep slopes?
For gentle slopes, yes. For steep or high-flow areas, choose double-net or straw/coconut blends.

Q: Do I remove the blanket later?
No — allow it to break down naturally as the turf matures.
