Soil Erosion
Control Products & Information
The erosion of soil occurs through the transport of soil and sediment by gravity, wind, water, ice, and even living organisms. Human impact can increase these natural factors. To learn more, visit our page on the causes of erosion.
As the problem of erosion grows, education and prevention become key.
If you are interested in increasing your erosion knowledge, check out the Erosion Control Online Journal to stay up to date with erosion control news and visit our woven geo textile and non woven fabric web pages.

Soil: Causes of Erosion
- Mass Wasting: Gravity will naturally create down-slope movement of soil and sediments. Various factors (water, wind, human impact) speed up this process as they move materials from higher to lower elevations.
- Surface Creep: Similar to mass wasting, gravity will slowly move the surface soil. This process goes generally unnoticed unless tracked. Wind factors will increase the erosion.
- Slumping: Steep hillsides on distinct fracture zones are prone to this type of erosion. When materials, like clay, are released they move down the hill quickly. Slumping created isostatic depressions.
Erosion Control:
When soil erosion occurs, not only will the land look less than appealing, but it also loses valuable nutrients. The ideal solution to prevent erosion is to plant vegetation. The new plants will colonize and stabilize the ground with their root systems.
Using coir (natural coconut fiber), woven geotextiles , and non-woven geotextiles can greatly improve the speed, quality, and longevity of the vegetation and erosion prevention measures.
