Erosion Control Blankets

S1 - 100% straw fibers stitch-bonded to a photodegradable net on the top side. Suitable for low flow to moderate flow runoff conditions.

S2 - 100% straw fibers stitch-bonded to a photodegradable net on both top and bottom. Suitable for moderate flow runoff conditions. Also available with 100% biodegradable netting.

SC2 – 70% straw, 30% coconut fiber, with photodegradable netting on both sides. For use on 2:1 – 1:1 slopes with heavy run-off conditions. Good for  steep slide rehabilitation, drought area revegetation, long slope cut and fill, mine land, landfill reclamation, bridge abutments, ski runs, and channel shoulders. Also available with 100% biodegradable netting.

C2 – 100% coconut fiber with netting on both sides for use as a liner in channels with high velocity intermittent flows, center runs on grassed waterways, drainage ditch lining, and stream bank rehabilitation. Also used as an erosion control blanket on steep slopes and very harsh sites. Available with 100% biodegradable netting as well.

Coir Mats

Long lived, high strength woven 100% coconut fiber grids have numerous bioengineering and erosion control applications. They are particularly useful on extreme slopes that are susceptible to slumping or frost shear. Available in three weights: 400 grams/sq.m. (loose weave), 700 grams/sq.m. (medium weave), and 900 grams/sq.m. (tight weave).

Coir Fiber Logs

These 20’ long, 100% coconut fiber “logs” with biodegradable netting have proven to be one of the most efficient and cost effective methods for immediately stabilizing the banks of ponds, streams, rivers, and coastal banks. Easily installed with either earth anchors or wooden stakes, they are generally planted with wetland plants (2” plugs), which root through the coir logs into the bank and substrate. Available in 12” and 16” diameters.

Straw Wattles

Sediment control devices constructed of weed free rice straw inside a photodegradable netting,  9” diameter x 20' long. A cost effective alternative to hay bales, also available with biodegradable netting.

Dormant Live Material for Bioengineering

NEWP provides dormant woody Willow and Dogwood species for use as brush layers, brush fascines, and stakes. Fascines are usually 12' long and 6-8” in diameter, brush cuttings are 3-5’ long and stakes are 3’ long. These products are only available in the dormant season (November 15 - March 15). NEWP will only supply species that root readily. Please call for pricing.

Tubelings for Bank Stabilization and Soil Bioengineering

NEWP provides rooted cutting in 5” deep plug cells that can be used as an inexpensive solution for revegetating and stabilizing slopes and banks, and for soil bioengineering projects. Because tubelings have established root systems, successful planting is not limited to the plant's dormant period, which extends the planting season. This allows for the installation of soil bioengineering projects from early spring through the summer and fall, freeing projects from the time constraints of dormant plant materials. Tubelings may be used in place of dormant stakes, and have the advantage of being easier to install (using a dibble stick). They produce soil stabilizing roots soon after planting during the growing season.

Tubelings are sold only in trays of 38. Price per tubeling is $2.00 (one tray is $76.00). Stems typically measure between 6” and 24” in height. Please be sure to place your order in advance for large quantities.

Species Available in Tubelings: Pussy Willow (Salix discolor and Salix spp.), Black Willow (Salix nigra), Sand Bar Willow (Salix exigua), Purple-osier (Streamco) Willow (Salix purpurea), Dwarf Bankers Willow (Salix x cotteti). Some Dogwood spp. may be contract grown (please inquire).
