commercial erosion control solutions
Commercial developments require and increasing amount of erosion protection—but it has to look good too. InstaTurf hybrid turfs protect the soil like rock, add an immediately green aesthetic, and are a fraction of the cost of hard armor solutions.
Protects Like Rock - Or Better
Don’t just direct water away from the soil; secure it in place. InstaTurf can be installed on and around bio-retention ponds at commercial sites to keep the silt where it is intended.
InstaTurf secures into the ground to protect the soil. Where applicable, vegetation can also grow through InstaTurf to further protect and secure soil. It is the commercial soil erosion prevention product that has been missing until now.


Lower Total Cost
When planning a commercial development, the costs don’t stop at installation. Maintenance of your commercial soil erosion control can dramatically increase the total cost over time.
InstaTurf is less costly than rock to transport and install. It’s easier and cheaper to maintain for years to come. Simply use standard landscaping equipment—you can mow right over InstaTurf with ease.

Why You Should Ditch Rock Riprap
For many developers, rock riprap is the default choice for erosion control in drainage channels and along shorelines. It’s been the industry standard for decades.
