Straw Matting | Lee’s Summit

Lee’s Summit | Straw Matting

A detention pond in Lee’s Summit, Missouri was in need of vegetation after it was constructed.

JCI Industries hired us to install seed & fertilizer in the detention pond. Before we installed the seed & fertilizer, we pulverized the soil to help give the seed a chance to germinate. We used straw matting blankets on the sloped sides to keep the hill from eroding during rain events.

Once the seed germinates, it will overtake the straw matting and the entire detention pond will be vegetated.
