Biodegradable Stakes
Ecoduty stakes provide contractor-grade biodegradable anchoring for erosion blankets and landscape fabrics. Made from recycled plastics in the U.S., they offer 6x holding power versus steel while decomposing naturally in 12-24 months. Ideal for municipal projects and large-scale landscaping requiring sustainable solutions.
Staple Installation Tools
Staple Ease tools speed installation of U-shaped and circle-top staples by 2-4 times versus manual hammering. Ergonomic designs reduce worker fatigue and injury risks while ensuring proper staple placement. Compatible with 11-gauge to 8-gauge staples and biodegradable Ecoduty stakes for varied ground conditions.
Tree Watering Mats
TreeDiaper mats deliver automated hydration using super-absorbent polymers that store rainwater and release it as needed. Eliminates manual watering for 3+ years after installation, reduces weed competition, and improves tree survival rates by 100% compared to traditional watering bags.
Erosion Control Products
Econet erosion blankets and Bio Plus stakes create durable, biodegradable ground cover for slope stabilization and reseeding projects. Designed for easy installation with Staple Ease tools, these systems prevent soil loss while allowing natural vegetation regrowth without removal requirements.
Custom Solutions
Specialty drivers and attachments adapt Staple Ease tools for niche applications like drip irrigation and large-gauge staples. Custom engineering ensures compatibility with existing equipment while maintaining the system's labor-saving benefits and 1-year warranty for professional contractors.
