In some cases, the material, the fraction of which is larger than the opening of a mesh, is piled on the geogrid and material is trapped in the openings of geogrid and a system resistant to the external forces is created. Now, there are the geogrids made of natural (organic), synthetic and composite type of materials. Geogrids and organic geotextiles are the natural and 100% biodegradable solution to the erosion control using the geogrids or geotextile mats made of coconut (or jute) fibers. They are designed to hold the soil in place until vegetation is established. A geogrid or permeable geotextile provides a natural support system to the soil and vegetation.
