EarthGuard® Fiber Matrix
The Highest Performing Erosion Control Solution.
Engineered to Outperform while using less material, water, and labor.

EarthGuard® Fiber Matrix™

The proven standard in hydraulic erosion control

Outperform Everything. Underspend Them All.

Why not go with the best? EarthGuard® Fiber Matrix™ is a Fiber Reinforced Matrix (FRM) that combines patented EarthGuard® soil stabilizer technology with wood fiber hydromulch to create a high-performance hydraulic erosion control solution. Unlike products that simply cover the surface, EarthGuard® works directly with the soil to help stabilize slopes, reduce soil loss, and support vegetation establishment.

Effectiveness proven through NTPEP ASTM D6459 Soil Loss Testing, EarthGuard® Fiber Matrix™ delivers top-tier erosion control performance at lower application rates than many comparable hydraulic and rolled erosion control products. That means less material to handle, less water to haul and pump, fewer labor and equipment hours on site, and a lower overall jobsite cost.

EarthGuard® Fiber Matrix™ is available in a convenient 50 lb. bale or as a 5-gallon EarthGuard® Liquid concentrate for on-site mixing with the hydromulch of your choice, EarthGuard® provides maximum application flexibility while delivering the same proven preformance.

Features & Benefits


Proven #1 in Independent Testing

Rated among the highest-performing erosion control products tested through NTPEP ASTM D6459 Soil Loss Testing.

Extraordinary Erosion Control & Turbidity Reduction

Patented technology delivers a +99.9% erosion control effectiveness at low application rates while providing exceptional turbidity reduction and promoting quick vegetative establishment — all in a single hydraulic application.

Lower Material & Labor Costs

Requires approximately 50% less water than comparable hydraulically applied products, combined with lower application rates that reduce material requirement, speeds up crew production, cutting overall project costs without sacrificing performance.

Fast, Easy Application

Compact and quickly expanding pellet/bale format is simple to transport, handle, and load — eliminating the complexity and labor of rolled blanket installation while covering more ground in less time.

Built for Any Condition

Adjustable application rates for both normal and severe rainfall conditions and across slope gradients from flat to 1:1, ensuring reliable performance whether you’re protecting gentle grades or steep, erosion-prone terrain.

Hurricane Harvey Case Study
Featured EarthGuard® Fiber Matrix™ Case Study

Hurricane Harvey: How EarthGuard® Fiber Matrix™ Withstood 43 Inches of Rain on an Unprotected Houston Job Site

When EarthGuard® Fiber Matrix™ was sprayed on a Greens Bayou project site in Houston as part of routine erosion control maintenance, no one anticipated what was coming. Just days later, Category 4 Hurricane Harvey made landfall and dumped 43 inches of rain over the course of a week onto the poorly draining, flat terrain — before vegetation had any chance to establish.

The result? EarthGuard® Fiber Matrix™ held its ground. Applied at standard manufacturer-recommended rates with a simple one-directional spray technique, it withstood the enormous volume and destructive force of one of the most catastrophic rain events in U.S. history — with little erosion resulting from sheet flow across the site.
