EcoMatrix®, the Cost Effective Sod and Blanket Alternative
Presented by: Canfor
More stringent standards of the Clean Water Act Phase II have made it
essential for landscape architects to have low cost and effective methods
of preventing erosion and sediment loss on all sites where soil has been
disturbed. At the ASLA 2003 Expo, Canfor introduced EcoMatrix®, the
newest addition to its erosion control product line and its solution for
complying with the Clean Water Act Phase II.
EcoMatrix® has been formulated to reduce costs while protecting
a site from erosion and sediment loss. EcoMatrix® has been categorized
as a "Stabilized Fiber Matrix" and is applied using conventional
hydroseeding equipment. Once applied, it bonds with the soil and forms
a porous yet breathable mat that completely biodegrades over time. For
