Flexamat in Fort Myers Florida Vegetating!

Check out the Flexamat that was installed at the Fort Myers High School 2.5 months ago.  Even with sparse rain in the southeast, Flexamat fully allows vegetation to flourish!  The next time you go out for a drive count how many places you see rock rip rap. If you are unfamiliar with the term "rip rap", it is the big rocks you often see lining ditches or canals, and around culvert pipe.   You will notice that trash and other debris often get caught within the large stones of this type of erosion control method.  Also most municipalities will require some sort of weed abatement program on this rip rap within their districts.  Since walking on rip rap is so unstable, any of this type of work can and should be considered dangerous.  Flexamat is the full solution to all of the problems with rip rap.  Trash does not collect within the stable blocks of Flexamat, and since it has such a low profile, it can be mowed!  Flexamat is the "go green" solution for job sites needing a hard armor solution to battle erosion!  Check out the pictures, enjoy!
