Geotextiles: an eco-friendly land buddy for increased vegetation
Coir geotextiles safeguard the land surface and promote faster vegetation. They stabilise the soil and renew vegetation on slopes. Made from 100% coir fibre, they last for about two years, which is why plant growers choose them as a natural, biodegradable product.
Where coir geotextiles are used
- Controlling soil erosion
- Mulch blankets
- Hill slopes
- Railway embankments
- Building eco-friendly lawns
Key features
Environment-friendly
Coir is woven into geotextiles and laid over areas prone to erosion. It absorbs water and stops the soil drying out, which helps new vegetation take hold. Coir geotextiles retain moisture naturally and shield the soil from strong sunlight, supporting it for up to three years while natural vegetation establishes.
Renewable, with a low decomposition rate
Coir is a renewable natural fibre with good strength and a low decomposition rate. Woven into thick textiles and laid like blankets, it is fully biodegradable, absorbs water, helps seeds germinate and resists sunlight, so it lasts for years in the field.
Other properties
- Durable, robust, resilient and versatile
- Adds organic material to the soil
- High tear and tensile strength
- Easy to install, patch and maintain compared with other fibres
- Follows the contour of the soil surface thanks to its hygroscopic properties
With all these features, coir geotextiles are one of the most effective eco-friendly ways to boost vegetation.
