Landscape Fabrics
SP3 PRO
SRW Landscape Fabrics are versatile fabrics that perform four significant functions: weed restriction, soil separation, reinforcement, and filtration. They are highly resistant to acids, alkalines, insecticides, fertilizers and damage from insects and rodents. They permit passage of air and liquids, will not rot, mildew, become brittle, or biologically decompose.
SP3 Pro Installation Guidelines:
SRW Landscape Fabrics can be installed prior to new planting or easily retrofitted to existing landscaping. Fabric should be covered with mulch as soon as possible after installation to prevent displacement by wind and exposure to harmful UV rays. Ground surface should be free from sharp objects, large rock, trash or other debris. Cross-shaped cuts are made in the fabric and plant material is put in place underneath. Ends should be buried a minimum of 3" and edges overlapped the same. Use behind the drainage rock behind retaining walls as a filter fabric.
SS5
Soil Stabilization Fabric is a woven polypropylene fabric designed to provide reinforcement under roadways and driveways and to separate the aggregate and subgrade layers. It is typically used as base reinforcement under all types of pavements and under compacted aggregate on unpaved roadways.
Standard design procedures confirm, using SS5 will increase the design life and improve the long-term performance of your driveway or roadway by 50-70% when properly installed. Alternatiely, when you use SRW SS5 in a typical application, you can REDUCE the amount of required base material by as much as 30% and obtain the same results as you would have in the original design without SS5.
SS5 Installation Guidelines:
Roll the fabric over the prepared subgrade, overlapping fabric 1 1/2 to 3 feet, depending on site conditions. Place fabric smoothly without excessive wrinkles. Backdump aggregate onto the fabric, do not drive equipment directly on the fabric. Spread the aggregate and compact using standard techniques. Then follow the paver manufacturer's installation instructions.
If extreme conditions exist, consult your dealer, SRW Products, or an engineer for a site-specific recommendation. High performance stabilization fabrics are also available.
EC8
Erosion Control Fabric is a heavy-duty non-woven fabric designed for use under riprap armor stone to protect slopes, spillways and embankments from erosion. EC8 can withstand severe installation stresses due to its high puncture and burst resistance. It is commonly used with our without cellular confinement systems for both shore line and storm water run-off protection. EC8 can also be used in conjunction with articulated concrete block revetment systems. EC8 meets or exceeds many soil and water conservation specifications.
EC8 Installation Guidelines: Unroll the fabric at a 90° angle to the erosive force and overlap 12", when necessary, in the direction of the water flow. Tow the fabric in at the top and bottom of the embankment. Place riprap armor stone onto the fabric from minimum height starting at the bottom, working up to the top. Do not place riprap at the top and allow it to roll down the fabric.
Silt Fence
Pre-assembled Silt Fence is designed to reduce soil sediment run-off from or into protected areas. Water is allowed to filter through the fabric, and the loss of costly soil is restricted. SRW Silt Fence is 3' x 100' with 13 hardwood stakes per roll.
Typical installations include:
- around perimeter of construction sites
- adjacent to streams, lakes and creeks
- at the bottom of highly erodable slopes
- around storm-water drainage ditches and culverts
Silt Fence Installation Guidelines: Dig a 6" x 6" trench along the site perimeter or appropriate location. Unroll the fence one section at a time and position the posts on the downhill side of the trench. Hammer each post at least 1 1/2 feet into the ground, lay the bottom 6^ of fabric into the trench, backfill, and compact.
