Compost Filter Sock Details
A compost filter sock will be made from a tubular polypropylene netting and filled with a blend of compost and 2" to 3" wood shavings. This interior provides reliable filtration and the UV stabilized netting holds the internal material in place to limit the effects of erosion on your site. The compost filter sock detail of its netting makes it great for perimeter control on a job site. The durable materials will hold up in extreme environments and outdoor conditions. For permanent erosion control, a silt sock can be seeded.

Silt Filter Sock Installation
Silt sock and filter sock installation is fast and does not require trenching:
- Placement: Position the socks directly on the surface of the ground. No trenching is necessary, which helps maintain the stability of existing vegetation.
- Adaptability: Suitable for installation on compacted, frozen, or rocky soils.
- Perimeter Control: Place around the perimeter of a site or sensitive area to prevent sediment from leaving the site.
- Staking: Stake the socks securely in place using the stakes provided. Ensure full contact with the ground surface for optimal filtration.
However, you can get multiple lengths of construction filter sock to meet the perimeter runoff control and erosion control needs for your unique site.
Silt Sock Frequently Asked Questions
Filter socks install without trenching. This allows for faster installation and minimizes site disturbance. The blend of compost and wood shavings provides superior filtration compared to traditional sediment control barriers. Filter socks also perform well on compacted, frozen, or rocky soils.
Silt socks are placed along the perimeter of a site. As water flows across the ground, the sock filters out sediment while allowing water to pass through. This helps prevent sediment from leaving the site and supports compliance with stormwater management regulations.
