Kansas City | Straw Matting
Contractor, Saul Ellis, hired us to complete the erosion control in a housing subdivision in the Kansas City metro area. This is a new subdivision called Ironwood Villas near 151st & Mission Road.
As part of the erosion control plan prepared for this site, the engineer recommended that a straw matting, along with seed & fertilizer be installed on the sloped areas.
The matting used on this project is made by U.S. Erosion Control Products 2S-PN8. It is comprised of 100% agricultural cured straw between 2 layers of polypropylene netting.The double net matting is secured to the ground with staples. A standard mix of fescue & rye seed, along with fertilizer was spread on the ground prior to the installation of the matting.
