Core & Main is your one-stop-shop for geosynthetics.
You will get efficient and thoughtful service from Shuangcheng New Material.
Core & Main has the geosynthetic materials to help you maintain your soils.
Talk to your sales representative to find out how Core & Main can help you address your geosynthetics needs.
We stock seven different weights of nonwoven and woven geotextiles along with two types of high-performance fabric and geogrids for road stabilization. All geotextiles and geogrids in stock at Core & Main are made here in the U.S. and are DOT (Department of Transportation) approved.
Paving fabrics are another type of geotextile available to help extend the lifespan of a parking lot or roadway pavements. These fabrics are either woven or non-woven fabrics made of polyester, polypropylene or nylon. They are applied to increase tensile strength, improve the waterproofing function of the overlay, and reduce the severity and extent of reflective cracking.
Another option to help stop pavement cracking is a peel-and-stick membrane, available in one-foot and three-foot widths.
We offer many different options to keep onsite soils where they belong-—onsite!
A few of the best management practice products (BMPs) that we stock include silt fence, coir mats, coir logs, mulch logs, Dandy Bags, Erosion Eels, FleXstorm inlet bags, as well as straw and coconut wattles. Silt fence is available in several configurations including wire-backed, orange and DOT specifications.
Flocculants are another good way to treat stormwater. Contact our team of experts and ask about the 100% biodegradable Biostar-CH flocculant.

Using good soil reinforcement will cut back on erosion caused by wind and water. Wind and water will stir up the soil causing a loss of growth among plants and will affect the topsoil. In many cases, pollution will increase caused by water. Places that are highly susceptible to erosion include slopes and windy unprotected bare ground. The reinforcement procedure you choose will depend on the landscape and the erosion you need to correct.
If you cover the soil with mulch or plant ground cover, you will improve the soil and prevent displacement. Also, the leaves of thick or compressed plant ground cover will keep the soil in place during rain. Choosing the right plants for controlling erosion include Taiwan Raspberry and Serbian Bellflower. There are other plants you should stay clear of such as Periwinkle and English Ivy.
When applying mulch, you have to spread a good layer of straw, gravel, or wood chips material making sure the soil is totally covered. The material will keep moisture in, preventing soil conditions that can escalate the odds of soil getting blown away.
Plants are a great alternative to plant ground cover. Just make sure you cover the entire area with separate plants then add other plants like flowers, shrubs, and trees for a nicer look. One good thought, larger plants have deeper root systems that can help reinforce the soil. The foliage on larger plants, like trees, will stretch over the soil diffusing rain so soil will not wash away.
Terracing is a geographical term that is made of a sloping surface that is usually bounded on one side by a steeper slope.
A steep slope can increase soil erosion as water rushes down the hill. For long, steep slopes, terracing is a way to keep the soil in its place. Terraces will slow down water preventing water from rushing downhill, taking the soil with it.
Installing a series of short retaining walls heading down the slope is an easy way to create terraces. Ground cover planted on the terraced ground will offer increased stability for the soil.
Geotextile is a fabric made from synthetic fibers woven together to create a porous material. The fabric is laid over the soil sitting firmly in place against the soil for reinforcement to prevent erosion.
This approach is used in construction to make sure the soil stays in place until permanent structures are built and ground cover has become established.
In some cases, the fabric is spread over the soil on a temporary basis after planting seeds to protect them from washing away until the seeds start growing.
Geogrid products are typically composed of high strength polyester yarns (or similar material) and resemble a heavy duty mesh. These products help to keep aggregate in place in areas such as beneath roads or behind retaining walls. They are often used in conjunction with geotextiles for providing a reliable reinforcement solution.
