Product Overview


The Big Four Native Erosion Control Mix is a powerful blend of four iconic, warm-season native grasses: Switchgrass, Indiangrass, Big Bluestem, and Little Bluestem. This mix is specifically designed for long-term erosion control, soil stabilization, and habitat restoration across diverse U.S. landscapes—especially in prairies, open fields, roadsides, and reclamation sites.

These deep-rooted natives are renowned for their durability, drought resistance, and ability to establish strong, permanent vegetation cover. Whether you’re protecting a slope, stabilizing a streambank, or restoring native grassland, the Big Four work together to hold soil in place while enhancing biodiversity and ecological value.

Seeding Rate: 20 lbs per acre

Key Benefits


Superior Erosion Control: Deep, fibrous root systems from all four species form a dense underground network that stabilizes soil, even on steep slopes and disturbed ground. Especially effective in areas prone to runoff, wind erosion, or seasonal flooding.

Adapted to Tough Conditions: Thrives in poor, compacted, or low-fertility soils, making it ideal for reclamation projects. Highly drought-tolerant once established, requiring little to no maintenance.

Ecological & Habitat Value: Offers food and shelter for native pollinators, birds, and beneficial insects. Supports prairie restoration and boosts biodiversity.

Sustainable & Low Maintenance: This perennial mix returns year after year without the need for replanting or frequent mowing. Native species naturally resist pests and diseases, reducing the need for chemical inputs.

What’s Inside the Mix


Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum): Tall, clumping grass with excellent root strength and adaptability to wet or dry conditions.
Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans): Known for golden seed plumes and strong slope-holding roots.
Big Bluestem (Andropogon gerardii): A keystone prairie grass that delivers height, soil coverage, and deep stabilization.
Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium): Compact and attractive, it thrives on dry hillsides and shallow soils.

Ideal For


• Roadside and highway right-of-ways
• Hillside and slope stabilization
• Native prairie restoration
• Soil conservation and land reclamation projects

Why Choose This Mix


With the Big Four Native Erosion Control Mix, you’re not just planting grass — you’re building a long-lasting, self-sustaining ecosystem that protects the land and restores its natural balance.
