Hessian Cloth

Biodegradable ground cover for erosion control and protection

Ritex Hessian Cloth Rolls provide a natural, biodegradable solution for soil stabilisation, moisture retention, and surface protection across landscaping, horticultural, and construction environments. Manufactured from woven jute fibre, hessian is breathable, durable, and designed to perform in demanding outdoor conditions while naturally breaking down over time.

Suitable for contractors, growers, and commercial operators, hessian cloth supports efficient coverage across large areas and varied terrain, while eliminating the need for removal once the application is complete.

Hessian cloth combines practical performance with environmental compatibility, making it a reliable option for temporary ground cover and protection.

The woven structure allows water and air to pass through while helping reduce surface erosion and moisture loss. As the material decomposes, it contributes organic matter back into the soil, supporting improved soil condition over time.

Flexible and easy to handle, hessian rolls can be cut, shaped, and secured quickly, making them suitable for both small-scale and large commercial projects.

Why choose hessian and jute bags?

  • Suitable for landscaping, agriculture, and construction applications, including erosion control, planting, root wrapping, and concrete curing.

    Lightweight and easy to handle, hessian can be cut to size and secured using pins or staples. It conforms well to uneven terrain and irregular surfaces.

  • Biodegradable & Environmentally Responsible

    Hessian is manufactured from natural jute fibre and fully biodegradable. As it breaks down, it returns organic matter to the soil, eliminating disposal costs and reducing environmental impact compared to synthetic alternatives.

  • The woven structure helps hold soil in place, reducing runoff and surface erosion on exposed or sloped ground. This makes it ideal for re-vegetation and landscaping projects.

  • Hessian helps maintain consistent soil moisture levels during early growth stages, supporting seed germination and plant establishment in both landscaping and horticultural applications. The open weave allows water and air to pass through freely while still providing surface protection, helping maintain healthy soil conditions.
