Effective sediment control shouldn’t create unnecessary disturbance to the land it’s designed to protect. Fisher Sediment Barrier combines natural wood-chip filtration media with a durable knitted outer mesh to help manage sediment while working with the existing landscape.
Fisher Sediment Barrier follows the natural contours of the ground, helping maintain the existing soil structure, vegetation and root systems during installation. By reducing the amount of ground disturbance required for sediment control, projects can limit unnecessary disruption while helping keep displaced soil within the project area and out of surrounding environments.

A sediment barrier that fails becomes part of the environmental problem. Fisher Sediment Barrier's knitted outer mesh is independently tested for 1,130 N puncture resistance and 150 psi burst strength. These measurable material properties demonstrate the strength behind its construction, providing engineers and environmental professionals with technical data to evaluate durability—not just another manufacturer's promise. This strength helps the barrier withstand demanding jobsite conditions, reducing the risk of damage, premature replacement, and unnecessary material waste. The result? Less environmental disturbance, fewer replacement materials, and stronger protection against sediment escaping into surrounding ecosystems.
The true cost of sediment runoff extends beyond the construction site. Sediment entering catch basins, culverts, drainage systems, streams, and natural waterways can contribute to blocked drainage systems, degraded water quality, and damage to sensitive aquatic habitats. Fisher Sediment Barrier is designed to address these risks at their source. Its natural wood-chip filtration media helps slow runoff and capture displaced sediment, while its durable knitted mesh helps retain the wood The mesh's independently tested hydraulic properties provide engineers -chip filtration media with measurable material data to support product evaluation. The result? Less sediment reaching sensitive environments, reduced potential for downstream cleanup, and a practical approach to protecting water resources before damage occurs.**
Harnessing the natural filtration properties of wood chips to tackle one of construction's biggest environmental challenges: sediment runoff. At the heart of Fisher Sediment Barrier is natural wood-chip filtration media that serves a critical purpose. The wood chips create a permeable filtration layer that helps slow sediment-laden runoff, trap displaced soil particles, and allow water to pass through the barrier. This combination supports sediment retention while helping manage surface water movement across active construction sites. Unlike sediment-control products that rely entirely on manufactured filtration materials, Fisher Sediment Barrier uses natural wood chips as its primary filtration fill. This reduces reliance on synthetic filtration media while putting a natural resource to work in protecting surrounding soil and water environments. The result? Natural filtration with a purpose: helping keep sediment on-site, reducing the potential for downstream environmental impacts, and delivering a practical, environmentally conscious solution for modern construction and infrastructure projects.
