Seeding Grass on a Slope: Erosion Control Netting

Hillside where grass seed washes away. Solution: jute netting.

How It Works

• Roll out coarse jute netting over seeded area.
• Staple securely (12-inch spacing).
• Netting holds soil, seed, moisture.
• Biodegrades in 1–2 years as grass roots take over.

Where to Buy

Landscape/erosion control suppliers (not home centers). Search "jute erosion netting" + your city.
