SOX Erosion Solutions

What SOX Erosion Solutions does

SOX Erosion Solutions, operating as SOX, LLC and founded in 2000 in Boca Raton, Florida, designs, manufactures, and distributes patented bioengineered erosion control systems marketed as living shoreline solutions. Its core technology is a double-layer knitted HDPE technical mesh with RipStop construction and built-in structural channels, deployed across four branded product lines: DredgeSOX and ShoreSOX for shoreline and hillside stabilization, EvoGuard/SOXfence and EvoGuard Pro for perimeter and sediment control, and the more recent Wattle Killer for lightweight, reusable sediment and post-fire erosion barriers. The company also offers Custom Solutions for non-standard projects and supports its products with engineering specifications, case studies, and installation training via an Engineering Toolbox and accredited webinars.

Core offering

SOX Erosion Solutions designs, manufactures and distributes patented bioengineered erosion control systems used to halt and reverse shoreline and hillside erosion while promoting vegetation growth. Core offerings include living shoreline systems (DredgeSOX, ShoreSOX) built from knitted HDPE technical mesh with RipStop technology, multi-functional protective fencing (EvoGuard/SOXfence, EvoGuard Pro), and lightweight portable barriers (Wattle Killer). Products are sold through a network of 120+ Certified Service Providers across the USA and specified by engineers into project blueprints.

Product overview

SOX Erosion Solutions offers a suite of patented bioengineered erosion control systems for commercial and residential applications. The product portfolio centers on living shoreline technology using knitted HDPE technical mesh with RipStop technology. Core products include DredgeSOX and ShoreSOX (for shoreline and hillside stabilization filled with dredged sediment or organic media), EvoGuard/SOXfence (multi-functional protective fencing for perimeter control and sediment retention), and Wattle Killer (lightweight barrier for difficult-access areas). Custom Solutions provide bespoke manufacturing for unique project requirements. All products are designed to halt erosion immediately while promoting vegetation growth.

Brands

• DredgeSOX: Patented erosion control system designed with double layer of knitted polyethylene mesh with rip stop technology, filled by dredging shallow sediment into the containment unit. Preferred method when a water body is part of the project.

• EvoGuard Pro
• Wattle Killer
• SOXfence

Products and services

• DredgeSOX Patented erosion control system designed with a double layer of knitted polyethylene mesh utilizing RipStop technology and a built-in structural channel. Anchored to eroded embankments and filled by dredging shallow sediment into the modular open containment system, creating an immediate, fully integrated secure living shoreline that supports vegetation growth. Used by municipalities, golf courses, HOAs, and lake management firms for shoreline restoration projects.
• ShoreSOX Patented erosion control system with double layer of knitted HDPE mesh with RipStop technology and built-in structural roping channel. Modular open containment system typically anchored at the toe, filled with locally sourced organic media such as topsoil or blow-in mulch, then graded and the top mesh wrapped over to halt soil erosion and re-stabilize shorelines and hillsides. Used by municipalities, HOAs, golf courses, and engineers for shoreline and hillside stabilization.
• EvoGuard Pro Multi-functional protective project fencing (also branded SOXfence) using reinforced heavy-duty polyethylene with a patented design featuring integrated post sleeves and non-trenched deployment option. Slows water encroachment, retains sediments, and serves as a containment barrier. Marketed as superior alternative to MTO/OPSD wire back silt fence, available in 1, 2, and 3 foot panel heights, reusable, and backed by a 5-year manufacturer's warranty. Used by contractors and engineers on construction sites for sediment control.
• Wattle Killer Lightweight portable evolution of EvoGuard for erosion and sediment control on steep hillsides and difficult access areas. Controls debris flow and stormwater runoff, prevents off-site sedimentation at active construction sites, and provides soil stabilization in post-fire environments. Weighs only 7 pounds per 100 feet and stacks 5,400 linear feet onto one pallet. Reusable at less than $5/linear foot vs. traditional single-use straw wattles at $10+/linear foot.
• Custom Solutions Custom-designed bioengineered living shoreline systems manufactured to meet specific project requirements regardless of size and scope. Provides flexibility for ad-hoc projects and bids outside standard DredgeSOX, ShoreSOX, EvoGuard, and Wattle Killer product offerings. Targeted at engineers and contractors with non-standard site conditions.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Tensar International: A leading global manufacturer of geosynthetics and soil stabilization products used in civil engineering and infrastructure. Tensar overlaps with SOX in providing engineered ground-stabilization systems, but at a much larger scale and broader product portfolio targeting road, rail, and earth-retention applications.
• Profile Products (North American Green): Manufacturer of erosion control blankets, hydraulically-applied erosion control products, and vegetation establishment solutions under the North American Green brand. Directly competes with SOX in shoreline and slope stabilization, with deeper institutional relationships among engineers and a wider installed base.
• Landlok (by Propex): Brand of high-performance turf reinforcement mats and erosion control blankets for severe channel and shoreline applications. Competes with DredgeSOX and ShoreSOX in higher-end shoreline and channel protection projects.
• Propex (Geosynthetics): Producer of woven and nonwoven geotextiles, erosion control products, and geosynthetic solutions used in infrastructure and environmental applications. Competes with SOX in providing engineered fabric-based erosion and sediment control, with broader financial and distribution resources.

Emerging players

• SI Geosolutions: Provider of geosynthetic and erosion control solutions for civil and environmental projects. Overlaps with SOX in the engineered-erosion and sediment-control category, particularly on municipal and contractor-driven projects.
• Geo-Synthetics LLC: Distributor and installer of geosynthetics, erosion control blankets, and silt fence products across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. A regional channel competitor that overlaps with SOX's CSP-led distribution model.
• Filtrexx International: Provider of bioengineered silt-sock, vegetated buffer, and living shoreline systems using organic filtration media. Conceptually adjacent to SOX's living shoreline approach, competing in sediment control and shoreline restoration with a sustainability-focused narrative.

Direct peers

• East Coast Erosion Control: Distributor and erosion control specialist serving the Eastern US with blankets, wattles, silt fence, and related BMP products. Competes with SOX at the contractor level, particularly on sediment control and perimeter protection projects.
• American Excelsior: Manufacturer of erosion control blankets, sediment control logs (Curlex and Earth-Lock), and other bioengineered products. Overlaps closely with SOX's Wattle Killer and EvoGuard on sediment control and slope stabilization use cases, with a comparable contractor-specifier go-to-market.
• Western Excelsior: Manufacturer of erosion control blankets, turf reinforcement mats, and hydraulically-applied products for slope and channel stabilization. A direct competitor to SOX in providing bioengineered and rolled-good erosion solutions to civil engineers and contractors.
