            A:  You don't have to remove it. The netting will stop erosion and the straw will help the grass seeds germinate. It's crucial to use lawn staples to secure the netting

                A:  Yes grass will grow right up through it. Ours was used next to a river to prevent run off. To be honest it was miserable to pull up but definitely did what it was supposed to.

                      A:  Leave the mat - the grass does grow through it. However, it can be lifted by larger plants growing through it and then it’s a problem as it will wrap around lawn mower blades and weed wracker. It’s supposed to decompose after some time.
