Biodegradable rolled erosion control solution for soil retention and vegetation establishment
TerraGreen is a biodegradable rolled erosion control solution that protects exposed soil against rainfall, runoff and surface erosion while creating favourable conditions for vegetation establishment. Manufactured from natural coconut fibers and reinforced with biodegradable or geosynthetic components, TerraGreen provides temporary protection against erosion while supporting long-term ecological restoration.
Designed for infrastructure, mining, environmental and land rehabilitation projects, TerraGreen helps engineers protect vulnerable slopes, improve surface stability and establish durable vegetation cover.
Why TerraGreen:
- Control erosion during vegetation establishment
- Promote rapid vegetation growth
- Retain surface soil during vegetation establishment
- Deliver a sustainable and biodegradable solution
Protecting exposed slopes against erosion and surface instability
Slopes, embankments and disturbed lands are often exposed to rainfall, runoff, wind and surface erosion before vegetation can establish naturally. Without protection, soil loss can lead to maintenance issues, unstable surfaces and long-term environmental degradation.
Project owners and engineers require solutions capable of protecting the slope immediately after construction while supporting natural revegetation and long-term stabilization. Common project challenges:
- Surface erosion on exposed slopes
- Landslides and surface ruptures
- Delayed vegetation growth
- Instability on embankments and mine dumps
- Environmental rehabilitation requirements
- Long-term landscape integration objectives
Designed to protect soils while supporting natural vegetation
TerraGreen is a rolled erosion control solution manufactured from natural coconut fibers mechanically bonded into a protective blanket. Depending on project requirements, the solution can be reinforced using biodegradable or geosynthetic layers to improve stability and erosion resistance.
Installed directly on the slope surface, TerraGreen protects exposed soils from erosion caused by rainfall and runoff. At the same time, the blanket retains moisture, improves seed germination conditions and helps establish vegetation cover more rapidly than untreated surfaces.
As the vegetation grows, the roots gradually take over to provide stability, while the biodegradable coconut fibers break down naturally. This allows for a transition from temporary protection to long-term natural reinforcement.
