Silt Fence Solutions That Work
Fast, effective sediment control for active construction zones and environmentally sensitive areas.
What is Silt Fence Installation?
Silt fences are temporary sediment barriers made from geotextile fabric, supported by stakes and installed along site perimeters, slopes, or drainage paths. They trap soil particles carried by stormwater runoff, preventing sediment pollution and helping meet environmental regulations like SWPPP and EPA requirements.
Benefits of Silt Fencing
💧 Controls sediment and prevents water pollution
🛑 Minimizes erosion on active construction sites
📜 Complies with state and federal regulations
⛏️ Easy to install and cost-effective
🛠️ Flexible for various terrain and site layouts
🔁 Reusable for multi-phase projects
Use Cases
Construction site boundaries
Near storm drains, culverts, or ditches
Sloped or uneven terrain
Temporary perimeter control during grading
Projects near waterways or wetlands
Our Silt Fence Installation Process
We install high-performance silt fences based on slope grade, water flow, and soil conditions to ensure long-term erosion and sediment control.
Site Evaluation
Analyze runoff direction, slope, and soil type.
Trenching & Post Installation
Excavate a trench and drive in support posts for stability.
Fabric Installation
Attach geotextile securely and backfill the trench for tight soil contact.
Inspection & Maintenance Plan
Provide site-specific guidelines for checking and repairing fences over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions related to Silt Fencing.
How long do silt fences last?
Typically 6–12 months depending on weather, flow volume, and maintenance.
Are silt fences reusable?
Yes, in some cases the posts and fabric can be salvaged and reused.
Is it required for small projects?
Yes, many jurisdictions require sediment control even on small or temporary jobs.
What happens if silt fences fail?
Soil enters drainage systems or waterways, risking fines, delays, and environmental harm.
