Hessian & Jute Cloth
Natural, biodegradable fabric for erosion control, ground cover, and surface protection
Where synthetic ground cover breaks down into waste, hessian and jute cloth breaks down into the soil. That's the practical advantage of a natural fibre — it does its job, then disappears.
Ritex supplies woven hessian and jute cloth rolls to contractors, growers, and commercial operators across New Zealand and Australia. The open weave structure allows water and air to pass through freely, while holding soil in place, retaining moisture, and protecting surfaces during establishment or construction.
Stocked in a range of widths, weights, and roll lengths for immediate supply. Custom dimensions available on forward order.
Hessian and jute cloth is used across a wide range of commercial and operational contexts:
Erosion control and slope stabilisation
Re-vegetation and new planting areas
Landscaping and biodegradable mulch coverage
Grass seeding and seed protection
Root ball wrapping for transplanting
Concrete curing — moisture retention to reduce cracking
Cricket pitch covers
General-purpose temporary ground cover
Why choose hessian and jute cloth?
-
Manufactured from natural jute fibre, hessian cloth breaks down over time and returns organic matter to the soil. There is no removal cost, no disposal requirement, and no synthetic residue left behind. For temporary ground cover and re-vegetation projects, this removes a significant operational step.
-
Lightweight and flexible, hessian rolls can be cut, shaped, and secured quickly using pins or staples. Suited to both small-scale projects and large commercial coverage across varied terrain.
-
Suitable for landscaping, agriculture, and construction applications, including erosion control, planting, root wrapping, and concrete curing.
-
Hessian maintains consistent soil moisture during early growth stages — supporting seed germination and plant establishment in both horticultural and landscaping applications. The open weave keeps air circulating while protecting the surface from drying out.
-
The woven structure holds soil in place on exposed or sloped ground — reducing runoff and surface movement during re-vegetation, landscaping, and earthworks. It conforms to uneven terrain and irregular surfaces without additional shaping or preparation.
