Protect your site with our Char-Barrier™ erosion sock and a full line of erosion control products. Kiln-dried red pine with high-carbon biochar for superior sediment and pollutant capture.
Kiln-dried red pine is an excellent medium for erosion sock. Here's why:
Kiln-drying kills insects, larvae, mold, and pathogens, preventing the spread of contaminants from the wood to the soil.
Kiln-dried wood is up to 20% lighter than undried wood, making the socks easier to handle, cheaper to transport, and faster to install.
Because the moisture is already removed, the material won't shrink after installation, ensuring the sock maintains its shape and performance.
Consistent, uniform fiber sizing allows for better hydraulic conductivity, letting water flow through while trapping sediment and pollutants.
Kiln-dried wood filler is made from reclaimed wood products, giving new life to materials that would otherwise go to waste.
The kiln drying process lowers moisture content to an optimal level, reducing the likelihood of decay, rot, and degradation over time.
For even more pollutant capture
Biochar attracts and traps nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen within its pores, preventing them from washing into waterways.
Biochar acts as a porous filter that captures pollutants such as suspended solids, metals, hydrocarbons, and even PFAS from stormwater runoff.
The stable carbon of biochar never degrades, and it slowly releases nutrients which support vegetation growth. Used socks can be emptied into the ground to become part of the ecosystem.
We carry a variety of products to help with erosion control and seeding difficult areas.
Pelletized mulch that protects seed and retains moisture for germination.

Perimeter control for active construction sites. Prevent sediment from leaving the site and entering storm drains or nearby waterways.
Protect lakes, ponds, streams, and retention basins. Filter stormwater runoff before it enters sensitive aquatic environments.
Stabilize hillsides, swales, and drainage channels. Control sediment movement on steep grades and areas with concentrated water flow.
