Erosion Protection for Shorelines

Shorelines require a thorough erosion control strategy for installation and on-going maintenance. InstaTurf has two products that will stand up to wave action as well as human foot traffic so your project will be protected and easily maintainable.

Stand Up To Waves

The simulated grass-like texture of InstaTurf® Soft Armor products raise the shear plane above the soil to protect shorelines immediately and for years to come. InstaTurf provides rock-like erosion protection from day-one. The surface of InstaTurf is easily navigable and maintainable without heavy equipment. Add InstaTurf to your bio-retention erosion solution to keep the silt in place without the cost and hassle of hard armor solutions.

Limit Liability

Rocks are the perfect hiding spot for snakes, not to mention twisted ankles waiting to happen. Don’t burden your development with these risks. Install InstaTurf and you will not only eliminate hiding spots for unwanted pests, but you’ll also provide a secure place for pedestrians and maintenance crews.

Aesthetically Pleasing

Don’t sacrifice the curb appeal of your development for premium erosion performance. With InstaTurf you can have the best of both worlds. InstaTurf not only provides rock-like erosion protection from day-one, but it also mimics the look of grass before the real grass grows through. InstaTurf secures into the soil and allows real vegetation to grow up through it. Once vegetation grows, the InstaTurf hybrid turf will all but disappear. InstaTurf helps protect your investment while looking great.
