Futerra® Erosion Control Blankets
Profile Futerra® vegetation blankets represent the future of erosion control and are a shining example of our commitment to continual innovation. Independent testing has confirmed time and again that no other erosion control blanket performs as well. Futerra’s patented combination of wood fiber and crimped interlocking synthetic fiber absorbs three times more water than excelsior blankets, producing a seed germination rate that is up to 90% higher than alternative products. Yet Futerra is only half the weight of excelsior blankets. That lighter-weight design makes Futerra go down more quickly with fewer man hours per square yard. Futerra’s cover factor of .03 on a 1:1 slope (97% effective) is also proof of its superiority in bonding to the soil to prevent washouts and seed migration.
Fully bio/photodegradable, Futerra will degrade completely. Profile is also the only company to offer both environmentally friendly biodegradable staples and stakes for the blanket installation. The Futerra Stake is a patented, 5-inch barbed anchor that will biodegrade in 10-15 months versus the current industry standard of 3 years. Futerra Staples are the industry’s only biodegradable staples, breaking down in 6-9 months and available in cartridges for easy-loading staple guns.

Mulches
Mulches are used during hydroseeding or broadcast seeding to protect the soil surface and retain moisture around the seed; they also help keep seed from washing away in rain or wind. Products come in paper, wood, and pelletized blends. Browse these product options below.
- Diamond Star Pellet Mulch
- PennMulch
- Profile SB 50/50 W TAC
- Profile Blend 70/30 W TAC
Diamond Star Pellet Mulch
High-performance pelletized mulch for even coverage and erosion control.
PennMulch® Seed Accelerator
With Moisture Cell Technology, of all the challenges a turf professional faces, getting a healthy, consistent stand of turf from seed is potentially the most frustrating. This is why the innovators at Lebanon Turf Products are so excited about PennMulch® Seed Accelerator. PennMulch Seed Accelerator is a breakthrough product that is designed to help professionals get faster and better results from any seeding job. PennMulch® pellets are made of recycled paper that breaks down naturally without robbing the soil of nutrients. PennMulch® contains no weed seeds and is the only pellet product that contains starter fertilizer.
Packaging: 50 lb bags (40 bags per pallet)
Profile SB 50/50 W TAC

Staples
Staples are used to keep blankets and fabrics in place once they’re laid on the soil. Proper anchoring prevents edges from lifting and stops water from getting underneath during rain or irrigation. Options include standard, biodegradable, and round top styles. Explore them below.

E-Staples are comprised of a natural plastic that originate from materials that are abundantly grown in the United States. E-Staple composition is Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) plastic that is made from plant sugars and oils. “Natural plastics” eliminate the use of petroleum-based materials, which ultimately helps reduce our dependency on oil. This innovative composition produces unique and unmatched physical and chemical features and benefits. All of these features and benefits, along with independent pull out testing results vs. other turf staples, are detailed here.
Recommended Application Rate: 1 staple per 1 square yard
- Staples Sizes: 4” x 1,000 ct, 6” x 1,000 ct
- Roundtop Pins Size: Size 6” x 1,000 ct
Sediment Logs
Sediment logs provide perimeter control and slope protection by slowing runoff and trapping sediment. Natural-fiber construction supports filtration and biodegradation on active or finished sites. Check out our available sediment log products below.
