Erosion Mats, Turbidity Barriers & Protective Coverings
The installation of Plastic Erosion Mats, also known as Turf Reinforcement Mats, requires several key components to work together for the erosion control blanket to function as designed by the engineer and the manufacturer. At Florida Hydroseeding and Erosion Control, we know that clearing the slope of all debris, good solid compaction, and providing a smooth finished grade are a few of the key factors in installing an effective permanent erosion control blanket.
We also install straw, coconut, and straw/coconut blended blankets, selected to match site slopes, flow conditions, and project specifications. These products stabilize the soil surface, reduce runoff velocity, and help retain moisture, giving seed and native vegetation time to take root and create a long-term, living erosion control system.
For in-water and waterside work, we provide turbidity barriers (also known as turbidity curtains or silt curtains) designed to keep sediment generated by construction activities from spreading into adjacent water bodies. These floating or staked fabric barriers contain disturbed sediment within a defined area, slowing water and allowing particles to settle out before they reach sensitive habitats or open waters. Our teams have the boats, equipment, and training to install and maintain turbidity barriers safely and in accordance with Florida and FDOT requirements.
From coconut-fiber erosion blankets and straw matting to artificial surface coverings and specialty installations, our goal is always the same: to protect your site, your schedule, and the surrounding environment. With continuous operation since 2007 and a dedicated staff equipped with purpose-built erosion control tools, Florida Hydroseeding and Erosion Control delivers practical, field-tested solutions for complex erosion and sediment challenges across the state.
Our team members know what to look for and how to address troubled areas with the contractor prior to installation to assure the integrity of the product is not jeopardized.
