Steep Slope Erosion Control Mats are the ideal erosion control blankets for sloped embankments or hillsides. These Erosion Control Blankets are made of a nylon fiber monofilament mesh that provides a lattice structure that vegetation can entwine and grow into. By anchoring the grass roots to the matting you further stabilized the hillside soil and prevent loss from high winds and water run-off.  

Slope erosion mats by EnkaMat are engineered durable and are UV light stabilized as they won’t easily break down in the sun or weather. The mesh structure of each mat is ~90%+ open making it lightweight and easy to install.

These mats are very popular for residential hillsides, gullies, sloped embankments, and other erosion-prone locations.

Steep Slope Erosion Control Mat: Practical Guide + Case Study

Enkamat® 7010 by Freudenberg is a three-dimensional turf reinforcement mat (TRM) engineered for steep slopes, vegetated channels, and drainage features. Its open, entangled monofilament matrix interlocks with soil and vegetation to resist runoff shear and protect against rilling and washouts.

At-a-glance: 3-D nylon filaments fused at intersections; ~95% open structure for soil and root interaction; commonly supplied in 8-ft widths for efficient coverage; permanent TRM for slopes and channels.

Why Choose Enkamat® 7010 for Steep Slopes?

  • High shear resistance: The 3-D entangled nylon matrix reinforces vegetation so slopes withstand runoff and rainfall energy.
  • Vegetation-centric: ~95% open volume captures soil/seed, accelerates germination, and lets roots knit through the mat.
  • Durable & UV-resistant: Nylon filaments are fused at intersections for long-term performance on exposed slopes.
  • Conforms to ground: Flexible structure lays tight to graded surfaces for consistent contact and protection.
Plain English: Use Enkamat 7010 where grass alone won’t hold—steep embankments, swales, ditches, and outfalls—while keeping a green, natural finish.

Planning, Coverage & Installation

  • Takeoff: Calculate area (slope length × width). Add 5–10% for overlaps, anchor trenches, curves, and waste.
  • Subgrade prep: Fine-grade, remove protrusions, and compact—flat contact improves performance and appearance.
  • Anchoring/trenching: Use crest/toe trenches and staple patterns per plan; tighten spacing in curves and high-flow zones.
  • Vegetation: Soil-fill the mat, then seed or hydroseed; irrigate and protect until vegetation establishes.

Fast Install Workflow

  1. Grade for uniform contact; cut crest/toe/inlet/outlet trenches.
  2. Unroll downslope; overlap 3–6″ on sides and 6–12″ on ends (unless the project spec says otherwise).
  3. Staple per pattern; backfill and compact trenches.
  4. Soil-fill, seed/hydroseed, and maintain until the turf knits through the mat.

Where Enkamat® 7010 Excels

  • Steep embankments: Roadside, rail, and levee slopes exposed to rainfall impact and sheet flow.
  • Vegetated waterways: Ditches and channels needing higher velocity/shear resistance with a green finish.
  • Outfalls & culverts: Protection where concentrated flow enters channels.

Case Study: County Road Embankment Recovery

Challenge: A 1H:1V roadside embankment was rilling after seasonal storms. Maintenance crews faced repeated sediment cleanup and lane closures.

Solution: The contractor graded the slope, installed Enkamat® 7010 with crest/toe trenches and a dense staple pattern in the curved section, soil-filled, and hydroseeded a native blend.

Outcome: Runoff events produced no new rills, turf fully established by eight weeks, and the county reported lower maintenance costs and improved roadside appearance.

Specs (At-a-Glance)

  • Structure: 3-D nylon monofilaments fused at intersections; ~95% open volume for soil/roots.
  • Common width: 8 ft (efficient coverage on slopes and channels).
  • Function: Permanent TRM for slopes, ditches, and outfalls—supports vegetated, green infrastructure.

FAQs

Will grass grow through it?

Yes. The open matrix holds seed and soil so roots knit through the mat, creating long-term reinforcement.

Is it permanent?

Yes—Enkamat® 7010 is intended as a permanent vegetated solution when installed and maintained per plan.

How much should I order?

Divide total surface area by roll coverage and add 5–10% for overlaps, anchor trenches, and waste.
