Slope Stabilization Made Easy with Breathable Erosion Control Fabric

Geotextile fabric help successfully filter runoff, control erosion, and stabilize slopes in your area. Made in both synthetic and biodegradable options, these fabrics are able to control sediment in your location and prevent further erosion. Erosion Control Fabrics featured here have been used in a wide range of applications including slope stabilization, sediment containment, runoff filtration, home protection, and vegetative regrowth.

Engineered to enable water to pass through without allowing any soil fines or dirt to pass through this slope stabilization fabric is ideal for assisting with hillside erosion control and stabilization.

What is the best fabric for erosion control?

Sure! Here’s the explanation in one paragraph with bullet points in English:

The best fabric for erosion control depends on the site conditions and project goals. Common options include:

• Coir (coconut fiber) mat, which is biodegradable, supports plant growth, and is ideal for slopes or streambanks,
• Woven geotextile fabric, known for high strength and durability, making it suitable for heavy-load areas like roads and embankments,
• Non-woven geotextile fabric, which allows water to pass through while preventing soil loss, perfect for drainage and moderate erosion control, and
• Straw or jute mats, natural and affordable materials used for temporary erosion protection on gentle slopes or new plantings.

Each fabric type serves a specific purpose, so the best choice depends on how long it needs to last and whether vegetation will be established.

What is erosion control fabric?

geotextile fabric is a material designed to prevent soil erosion by stabilizing the soil surface. It is often made from natural fibers like jute or coir, or synthetic materials like polypropylene. The fabric is laid over the soil in landscaping or construction projects to protect against the erosive effects of wind, rain, and water runoff.

It works by:

• Holding Soil in Place: It anchors soil particles to prevent them from being washed or blown away.
• Encouraging Vegetation Growth: The fabric provides a stable environment for plants to grow through, and their root systems help secure the soil over time.
• Filtering Water: It allows water to pass through while trapping soil particles, reducing sediment loss.

Erosion control fabric is commonly used in areas like slopes, stream banks, and construction sites to maintain soil integrity.

Does landscape fabric prevent erosion?

Landscape fabric can help prevent erosion by:

• Stabilizing the soil and keeping topsoil in place,
• Reducing rain impact by acting as a protective layer that minimizes surface runoff,
• Supporting vegetation growth when used with mulch and plants, which further anchor the soil, and
• Improving slope protection in light to moderate conditions.

However, it may not be effective alone on steep slopes or high-flow areas, where stronger erosion control materials like coir mats or geotextiles are recommended.

Do I put anything under landscape fabric?

Landscape fabrics should be applied on bare soil so all weeds and other vegetation should be removed if necessary. If the area will be planted, mix in any desired fertilizers, compost, and other soil amendments. Then, level out the soil to avoid holes and divots that may accumulate water and cause drainage issues.

Erosion control fabric helps to maintain soil on a hillside by providing a layer where soil and mulch can rest without immediately washing away from embankment runoff.  The goal of this fabric is to slow erosion on hillsides while planted vegetation can take root and naturally support the sloped areas.The geotextile fabric has great breathability and water permeability so that plants will still receive the nutrients they require.
