InstaTurf® Simply Keeps The Soil In Place
The key to effective erosion protection is vegetative growth. InstaTurf soft armor locks the soil in place so you don’t have to worry about washouts. In the example above, you can see exactly where InstaTurf was installed…and where it stopped. No other erosion protection solution can offer you premium protection coupled with the instantly green aesthetics.
Protects Like Rock
Sometimes you need a soft armor solution that protects like a hard armor option. InstaTurf will surprise you with the immediate and long-term armoring power you thought you could only get from rock or concrete.


Cheaper Than Rock
Immediate Grassy Look
Sometimes your project requires a green look 365 days a year – that includes the first days after installation.
InstaTurf has a patent pending design that looks like grass blades and promotes the growth of real vegetation. Whether you need vegetative growth to get paid or your project simply must look great all year round, InstaTurf can meet your aesthetic demands.
