"To improve upon the erosion protection provided by plain grass, turf reinforcement methods were developed to help protect the surface soil particles, grass seeds, and seedlings (especially during the period before full turf establishment) and improve the lateral continuity between grass plants. The development of
vegetation reinforcement systems began in the mid 1970s with the rapid development of man-made materials including geotextile fabrics. The purpose is to enhance the engineering functions of plain grass while retaining its environmental and economic benefits." [1]
