Flexamat was initially developed to be a permanent solution to stop shoreline erosion
There are many benefits in utilizing Flexamat for this application. Flexamat makes the shoreline maintainable. Commercial mowers can be used to mow right up to the water's edge. There is also the option to let native vegetation grow wild within the Flexamat.
Flexamat enhances safety. Steep eroded banks make it hazardous to maintain or even walk along the shoreline. Many municipalities have regulations that ensure minimum slope requirements.
It is environmentally friendly. Eroding sediment from shorelines is a major source of pollution. The eroded sediment has many negative impacts with natural ecosystems, such as making the water shallow, which can lead to artifically warmer water temperatures. Flexamat is the best solution because it re-enforces the natural vegetation and locks the shoreline in place.
- Flexamat is guaranteed permanent protection.
- Flexamat is literally locked to the shoreline and can never be moved.
- Flexamat keeps the lake looking beautiful.
- Flexamat doesn't attract snakes like rocks.
