What is Silt Sock?

Silt Sock is a low maintenance, reusable, environmentally friendly product used for erosion control on job sites. Silt Sock is a polypropylene mesh sock filled with wood chips that can be used as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, other sediment control solutions. Silt Socks have a lower profile than Silt Fences, making your project more aesthetically pleasing & easier to access.

Silt socks are a sediment control tool that can help prevent soil erosion in areas that are prone to stormwater runoff, such as river banks, construction sites, and slopes.

There are many additional benefits to using silt socks, including:

Meets “Greater Golden Horseshoe Area Conservation Authorities” specifications for erosion and sediment control.
Allows for trapping and settling of suspended solids without major excavation, land disturbance, or pond construction.
Installation of sediment traps requires no trenching, therefore soil is not disturbed upon installation or removal.
Sustained vegetation health.
Reduces Runoff.
100% Soil Contact.
Control of runoff velocity on slopes and within drainage channels.
Can directly replace silt fence, straw bales, straw wattles, coir logs and rock check dams.
Easily customized to fit most types of watersheds/drainage areas.
Increases Stormwater Filtration.
NO trenching, NO soil disturbance.
Easy removal and little disposal costs.
