Jute Mat Fine is a light-grade erosion control matting, made from natural jute fibres that are 100% biodegradable over time. It effectively acts as a blanket to protect topsoil and seed from water and wind erosion while promoting a moist micro-climate for seed germination.
Jute Mat Fine is a natural mat for grass establishment and erosion control, ideal for:
- Roadside landscaping
- Golf courses
- Steep slopes
- Wetlands and riverbanks
- Coastal sites
Jute Mat Fine is ideal for the stabilisation of low-flow drainage lines, and assists grass establishment on batters of up to 1:1 or 45 degrees.

FUNCTION
Erosion & Sediment Control
The use of a geosynthetic to prevent soil or other particle movements on the surface slope. Acts to reduce soil erosion caused by wind forces, rainfall impact and surface water runoff. The use of geosynthetics in erosion control is to maintain soil cover either as a temporary measure offering protection from soil loss whilst vegetation is established or as a permanent control measure, typically on steeper slopes or high-water velocity situations.
