Erosion Control
Erosion Control Solutions for Construction and Stormwater Management
Our erosion control solutions are designed to protect your job site from sediment runoff while supporting sustainable site practices. From CORE Filter Socks to biodegradable mesh options, we offer reliable products for effective erosion control and stormwater management solutions.
Durable Filter Socks for Every Job Site
CORE Filter Socks are available in photodegradable polypropylene or 100% biodegradable cotton mesh. Strong and versatile, they prevent sediment from leaving your site while staying intact during installation and movement.
Innovative Tools and Sustainable Materials
Our CORE Mesh Rucks and hardwood stakes simplify installation, saving time and labor. Using sustainable wood byproducts, biodegradable mesh and compostable materials, our erosion control products reduce environmental impact.
Complex Packaging Needs? No Problem.
We know that no two applications are the same. That’s why we use our ISTA-certified Millwood Lab to test each end-of-line-packaging application against your exact load and handling requirements. Our approach avoids:

Frequently Asked Questions
What are erosion control solutions and why are they important?
Erosion control products prevent soil loss, water pollution and sediment runoff that can damage construction sites, farms and ecosystems.
Erosion control solutions prevent soil displacement caused by wind, water or human activity. Without proper erosion control products, businesses face compliance issues, infrastructure damage and environmental harm. Using tools like silt fences, coir logs, and sediment control products, companies can stabilize soil, minimize runoff and maintain cleaner waterways. Effective erosion control isn’t just about compliance — it supports sustainable land management and lowers the long-term costs of site maintenance.
What erosion control products are most effective for construction sites?
Silt fences, wattles, coir logs and ground stabilization mats are the most effective erosion control solutions.
On active construction sites, erosion control is critical to staying compliant and avoiding sediment discharge into local waterways. Silt fences are widely used to capture sediment at site boundaries, while wattles and coir logs slow water flow and stabilize slopes. Erosion control blankets and ground stabilization mats provide additional support on disturbed soils. Choosing the right combination of these products helps construction managers maintain compliance with EPA stormwater regulations while reducing costly soil loss.
How does erosion control improve compliance with environmental regulations?
Erosion control ensures compliance with EPA stormwater and local environmental regulations, reducing fines and legal risks.
Environmental regulators require businesses in construction, agriculture and land development to implement erosion and sediment control practices. Failing to do so can result in penalties, project delays and reputational harm. Properly installed erosion control products help businesses demonstrate compliance with stormwater permits and environmental protection standards. Beyond avoiding fines, businesses benefit from safer worksites, stronger community relations and more sustainable operations.
Which industries benefit most from erosion control solutions?
Construction, agriculture, landscaping and infrastructure development industries rely heavily on erosion control solutions.
Erosion control is not limited to one sector. Construction companies use erosion barriers to meet stormwater compliance. Farmers rely on sediment control to prevent nutrient loss and protect waterways. Landscaping companies install coir logs and mats to stabilize slopes and embankments. Even infrastructure projects like highways, pipelines and energy sites depend on erosion control to maintain compliance and environmental safety. This wide application makes erosion and sediment control a vital service for businesses across industries.
Can erosion control solutions support sustainability goals?
Yes — erosion control products made from natural fibers and recycled materials align with sustainability and ESG commitments.
Many erosion control products today are designed with sustainability in mind. Coir logs and mats, for example, are made from biodegradable coconut fibers that naturally stabilize soil while decomposing over time. Reusable or recyclable materials in erosion barriers also reduce environmental impact. Companies committed to ESG reporting can leverage these sustainable erosion control solutions to strengthen their environmental scorecards, reduce landfill waste and demonstrate responsible land management practices.
