Silt Fence Installation

Silt fence installation is a temporary erosion control measure used to prevent sediment from leaving construction sites and entering nearby water bodies or storm drains. Silt fences are typically made of synthetic fabric stretched between wooden or metal posts and are installed along the perimeter of disturbed soil areas. The installation process includes driving the posts into the ground, attaching the fabric, and ensuring the bottom edge is buried to prevent sediment from flowing underneath. Silt fences are essential for compliance with environmental regulations, protecting water quality, and minimizing the impact of construction activities on the surrounding landscape. Proper installation and maintenance of silt fences are critical for their effectiveness in controlling sediment runoff.
