In Korea’s evolving landscaping industry, the demand for sustainable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing materials is rapidly growing. Whether it’s the urban greenery of Seoul, the orchards of Jeju, or snow-covered parks in Gangwon-do, landscapers and farmers are increasingly seeking natural products that perform well throughout the year. The Seagrass Sedge Mat fits this need perfectly. This biodegradable, handwoven mat provides excellent protection against weeds in the summer, maintains soil moisture, prevents erosion, and shields roots during Korea’s harsh winter months.
Handcrafted in Ben Tre, Vietnam, these mats merge traditional craftsmanship with practical environmental benefits. They have become a preferred choice for Korean landscapers, agriculturalists, and environmental project managers looking to enhance tree health while promoting eco-friendly landscaping practices.
A sedge mat—also known as a tree protection mat or weed control mat—is crafted by weaving 100% natural seagrass fibers into a flexible and durable roll. Designed specifically to be laid around the base of trees, the mat acts as a natural barrier, suppressing weeds, retaining soil moisture, reducing erosion, and shielding roots from extreme weather conditions such as frost and snow.
Unlike synthetic alternatives, our seagrass sedge mats are completely biodegradable. They naturally decompose over time, enriching the soil rather than polluting it. The mats originate from Ben Tre, Vietnam, a region renowned for its skilled artisans and rich natural fiber resources. Each mat is woven meticulously to ensure uniform thickness, strength, and an attractive, natural appearance, making them both practical and visually appealing in a variety of settings.
The versatility of seagrass sedge mats makes them suitable for year-round use in Korea’s diverse climate.
In spring, the mats help maintain stable soil temperatures, supporting healthy growth for newly planted saplings. They also suppress early weed growth, which can compete with young trees for nutrients.
During the hot summer months, the mats prevent weed invasion by blocking sunlight from reaching weed seeds and reduce evaporation to keep the soil moist. This is particularly valuable in Korea’s humid climate, where maintaining soil hydration is essential.
As autumn arrives, seagrass mats protect against soil erosion caused by seasonal rains, ensuring the roots remain stable and healthy in preparation for winter dormancy.
Most importantly, in the winter, these mats offer crucial protection against snow and frost. By reducing snow accumulation around the base of trees, the mats prevent excessive moisture and ice buildup that could damage roots. Additionally, their insulating properties shield the soil from deep frost penetration, reducing damage caused by freezing and thawing cycles common in Korea’s colder regions like Gangwon-do. This feature also facilitates easier maintenance for city landscapers during snowy seasons.
This four-season functionality makes seagrass sedge mats a cost-effective, sustainable solution for various landscaping and agricultural needs across Korea.
Seagrass sedge mats have found wide usage throughout Korea in many different environments.
In urban landscaping, they are commonly used around street trees, residential complexes, and public parks to maintain neat, weed-free, and healthy green spaces.
In agriculture, these mats protect the roots of fruit trees in orchards, such as apples, pears, persimmons, chestnuts, and citrus varieties, by preventing weed competition and conserving soil moisture.
They are also vital in reforestation projects, offering protection to young saplings in national forests and rural hillsides, helping ensure the success of tree planting efforts.
Cultural and religious sites, including temples, palaces, and traditional Korean gardens, benefit from their natural aesthetic, which blends harmoniously with traditional landscaping designs.
Finally, in snow-prone areas of northern Korea and mountainous regions, seagrass sedge mats provide essential protection during the winter months, guarding against frost damage and snow buildup.

Installing seagrass sedge mats is simple and efficient.
Start by clearing any weeds, stones, or debris from around the base of the tree to prepare the ground. Then unroll the sedge mat and cut it to the required size or diameter for the tree you’re protecting. Position the mat neatly around the trunk, leaving a small gap to ensure air circulation and prevent moisture buildup against the bark.
In windy or snowy areas, secure the mat with biodegradable stakes or small stones to keep it firmly in place throughout the seasons.
This quick installation process helps protect trees from weeds, moisture loss, soil erosion, and frost damage with minimal effort.
Choosing seagrass mats over plastic or synthetic weed mats offers significant environmental and practical benefits.
Firstly, seagrass mats are completely biodegradable and chemical-free, eliminating concerns about microplastic pollution or harmful residues. Over time, they decompose naturally, enriching the soil with organic material.
Secondly, they offer a more natural and visually appealing look that seamlessly integrates into Korean landscapes, complementing cultural preferences for harmony with nature.
Finally, their insulation properties provide better protection for roots during harsh weather, including Korea’s snowy winters — something synthetic mats often cannot offer.
As direct manufacturers, we offer key advantages to our Korean clients. We produce our seagrass sedge mats in-house, ensuring consistent product quality and competitive pricing without middlemen.

Seagrass sedge mats generally last between 6 to 12 months, depending on weather conditions and usage intensity. Their natural decomposition process means they safely break down into the soil without environmental harm.
To maximize shelf life before installation, store mats in a dry, well-ventilated area, avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture, which may cause mold. Annual replacement is recommended to maintain optimal protection for trees.
