Features & Benefits

The reliable features that make Flex Guard® the FRM of choice for challenging terrain and demanding schedules.

  No Cure Time Required — Instant Protection

Phase II compliant Flex Guard® adheres to soil immediately on contact, creating an instant stability barrier from pounding rain without any waiting period. This means you can apply and move on — even with storms in the forecast. Independent testing at San Diego State University’s Soil Erosion Research Laboratory showed Flex Guard® reduced total sediment export by 99% and peak sediment concentrations by 96%.

  Superb Versatility — Works Where Others Won’t

Flex Guard® conforms and securely bonds to virtually all slopes and soil types — including terrain where most erosion control products are difficult or impossible to install. Wet, bare soil, thunderstorms in the forecast, steep rugged terrain, and sites that can’t wait for soil preparation — Flex Guard® handles all of them.

  Loft Integrity for Optimal Germination

Long wood fibers interlock with natural connectors and proprietary binding agents, chemically bonding with soil to form lofted growth chambers. Seeds access air and moisture from inside the chambers for increased germination rates, while high-tensile chamber structures resist raindrop impact and protect emerging plants.

  Non-Toxic, Biodegradable — No Staples or Netting

Flex Guard®’s non-staining, non-toxic mat prevents soil erosion without the hazards of staples or plastic netting, making it safe for wildlife and environmentally sensitive areas. Completely biodegradable, it enriches the soil as it degrades. Packaged in 50 lb. bales (22.6 kg).
