Straw Wattles
Straw Wattles are made from recycled, naturally weed-free straw. The wattles imitate natural stabilization by reducing rate of flow, absorbing water and filtering sediment runoff. By trapping silt and seed, the wattles allow native vegetation and brush to begin to revegetate and restore root integrity within one year.
Stabilization of the hillside will eventually transition to the reformed growth as the Wattles decay. The wattles also form a durable containment area to prevent polluted runoff from reaching surface waters.
Straw Wattles replace Silt Fences, Sandbags, Willow Wattles, and Straw Bales with a natural, earth-friendly, weed-free solution.
Silt Fencing
A silt fence is a temporary sediment barrier. It is made from woven, synthetic materials that allow water to seep through, but do not allow larger silt particles to pass. The materials are selected to withstand the elements, and their specific properties are typically referenced in a jurisdiction’s specifications.
Silt fence is staked in place between the disturbed ground and the waterway or drainage system that it would flow to. Silt fence is designed largely to catch sheet flow over a fairly broad area. It is not meant to be used in high-flow situations, like across a ditch or stream.
Wooden Stakes
We also carry 2′, 3′, and 4′ hardwood wooden stakes. Use these secure down straw wattles and mulch tubes. Stakes are pointed at one end to allow it to be easily driven into the ground. Sold in bundles of 25.
