Coir erosion control mats are one of the most popular options to prevent the destruction of vegetation and landscaping. Coir fiber mats can be used to stabilize a location and prevent slides. They are woven from longer coir fibers, which come from mature brown coconut husks. The weave leaves openings that are wide enough to let plants to take root. Coir mats are flexible and can conform to the contours of your soil. They are available in many different sizes, which can be used to account for different rates of water flow and differently shaped slopes. On average, coir mats provide solid support for up to five years, which is enough time to allow vegetation to take root, grow, and stabilize. In addition, coir blankets and mats are relatively easy to install.
