Sediment Control

Silt Socks are made with Wood Chips

  • Our wood chips are weed free, seed free, disease free, and PH neutral.

  • 90% of the filler material consists of pieces sized between 1/4" and 2".

  • Combined with the fabric, our wood chips create a high flow through and filtration rate.

Our fabric is a Polypropylene Ultra Mesh Fabric

Why choose Silt Sock?

Material
Composition

  • Made from processed wood, wood chips are dense and have a rigid structure. Their uniform size and shape provide consistency in sediment control performance.

Water filtration

  • The porous structure of wood chips allows for slower water filtration. This slow filtration helps capture fine sediment particles more effectively, making wood chips better for controlling erosion in areas with fine soils or slower-moving water.

Organic
breakdown

  • ​Wood chips decompose slowly due to their dense, woody structure. This allows them to provide longer-lasting sediment control, reducing the frequency of replacements and maintenance.

Weight and handling

  • Wood chips provide great stability when placed in areas with high water flow. However, their weight can make transportation and installation slightly more labor-intensive.

Sourcing and supplying

  • Sourced as a byproduct of forestry and sawmill operations, wood chips are a renewable resource. However, their availability depends on logging activities, which may have environmental trade-offs depending on how forests are managed.
