Control erosion and build better whoa-boys on gravel roads and driveways with Concrete Mats.

What is a Whoa-Boy?

Ever wondered about those subtle ridges you see on roads or trails? Known as Whoa-Boys, they play a crucial role in erosion control by guiding water runoff safely down the landscape, off your roadway or path, thus preventing erosion.

These low-profile earth banks, also referred to as roll-over drains or water bars, are versatile enough to fit various environments—from small slopes on walking tracks to larger formations on driveways, access tracks, and fire trails.

To enhance their effectiveness, using concrete erosion mats is a great choice. These mats stabilise the surface, slow down water flow, and prevent further erosion and runoff, ensuring that water returns to nature smoothly and safely.

By incorporating whoa-boys with concrete erosion mats into your road, driveway, and pathway construction, you create a sustainable and efficient system to control water and preserve the natural surroundings.

See the photos below, which are a few examples of whoa-boys being built with concrete mats.
