In cooler areas of Louisiana, compost blankets are recommended for providing moisture retention and nutrient enrichment, which are ideal for supporting diverse and lush vegetation in those regions.

In hot and humid zones the state, wood chips fit well because they conserve moisture and provide a stable, protective layer of organic material that will enrich the soil as it breaks down.

For cooler areas of Louisiana, single netting degradable blankets work best. They aid in vegetation growth while providing effective erosion control.

Against hot weather conditions, use erosion control blankets made of UV-stablized, nondegradable materials. They provide long-term protection against intense sun and heavy rains common to southern Louisiana.

Using organic tackifiers will work best in cooler areas of Louisiana, as they enhance the soil stability of your landscape without impacting local waterways and natural habitats.

In warmer regions, polymer-based tackifiers work best because they keep mulches and ground covers securely in place even against heavy storms and flooding.
