Erosion Control Wattles and Logs for Your Home


People use sediment logs and erosion control wattles to prevent sediment from entering bodies of water. These products can also improve stormwater runoff quality by controlling sediment flow. We provide a variety of commercial and residential options.


For your next landscaping project, choose straw wattles or coir fiber natural logs to preserve your outdoor living space. If you live near a stream, coir is a great choice for sediment control. Another option for erosion and sediment control is excelsior logs, which offer excellent erosion control and optimal filtration efficiency using wood fibers and polymeric netting. If you’re planning to renovate your outdoor living space or protect flood-prone commercial grounds, shop our collection of erosion control wattles and logs.


Frequently Asked Questions


Q: How do straw wattles work?

A: By adding roughness to a slope, straw wattles reduce erosion and hold back eroded soil. Straw wattles are durable for one to two years, providing short-term erosion control on slopes where permanent vegetation will be established.


Q: How do you install wattles?

A: The wattle should fit snugly up against the curb or sidewalk. When it comes to storm drains and inlets, you should place the wattle one to one and a half feet back and direct the water flow toward the angle of drainage. You should snake the wattle around the inlet if the drainage angles into it. Use more than one wattle if necessary.


Q: What’s a sediment log?

A: Sediment logs are cylinders made of natural fibers that improve soil retention, filtration and runoff control. When anchored to the ground, they stop runoff and prevent erosion on slopes and embankments. You can also use sediment logs in channels if you place them perpendicular to the flow of water. They help filter water, reduce hydraulic energy and reduce the spread of sediment.
