Used Burlap Bags for Landscaping and Erosion Control

Used Burlap Bags for Erosion Control

When you need a natural, breathable solution for stabilizing soil, reclaimed burlap bags are a proven choice. Landscapers, contractors, and municipalities use our used burlap for erosion blankets, slope protection, and temporary ground cover because it holds seed and mulch in place while allowing water and air to circulate.

Why Burlap Works for Erosion Control

Unlike synthetic fabrics, burlap is biodegradable. It protects exposed soil and seedbeds long enough for grass or vegetation to establish, then breaks down naturally—no plastic waste left behind. The loose weave allows water penetration, preventing runoff while still keeping soil in place. Learn more about erosion control here.

Common Applications

• Slopes & Embankments: Lay burlap across disturbed soil to reduce washouts and hold seed in place.

• Seeding & Germination Covers: Burlap moderates moisture and temperature, creating better conditions for seed growth.

• Mulch & Compost Protection: Cover piles with burlap to prevent wind scatter and erosion during storms.

• Temporary Walkways & Pads: Contractors also use burlap to stabilize ground in work areas.

Cost Savings & Sustainability

By choosing reclaimed burlap, customers typically save 50–75% compared to new bags. At the same time, you’re extending the life of material already in circulation and avoiding the environmental burden of new fiber production.
