InstaTurf is a permanent solution that provides a very high level of immediate erosion protection. Because of its immediate erosion protection, there is less risk of soil and seed washing out prior to vegetation establishment. InstaTurf stays in place to reinforce and provide long-term erosion control and stabilization. As the vegetation grows and is fully established, InstaTurf becomes even stronger and is highly UV stable and weather-resistant...Keep Reading
