The GroundGuard® Root Reinforcement Mat provides an effective and eco-friendly choice for securing plant roots in all types of erosion prone areas. The tough, black nylon mesh has an open structure which makes a perfect environment for dirt and plants to embed and entangle, permanently securing plant roots in place. Once the root system is established, you have a permanent solution for anchoring vegetation. The GroundGuard® Root Reinforcement Mat is a natural choice for vegetated roof applications requiring soil and root stability.
