    How TrexGeo Coir Geotextiles Work to Stabilize Soil Naturally

    Soil is the foundation of everything, from healthy farms to stable infrastructure. Yet, around the world, erosion quietly eats away at this vital resource, stripping the land of its strength and threatening long-term sustainability.

    At TREX, we believe the best solutions don’t fight against nature — they work alongside it. That’s why we’ve developed TrexGeo Coir Geotextiles, an innovative system designed to protect and stabilize soil while giving the environment the chance to restore itself.

    Nature’s Engineering at Work

    At first glance, coir mesh might look like a simple woven net. But look closer, and you’ll see a bio-engineered design that makes use of one of nature’s strongest, most versatile fibers which include coconut husk fibers.

    TrexGeo Coir Geotextiles are woven from 100% natural coir, creating a durable yet breathable matting solution. This unique mat doesn’t just cover the soil, it actively transforms the way the ground interacts with water, roots, and sediment.

    Unlike plastic-based alternatives, our coir mesh is designed to do its job and then gracefully step aside. By the time it decomposes, the soil has been secured, vegetation has established, and the environment has taken over.

    The Science Behind TrexGeo Coir Geotextiles

    Here’s how Trex makes a difference from the moment it’s laid on the soil:
    1. Slows Down Water Runoff
      Heavy rainfall often leads to fast-moving water that strips soil away. Coir mesh breaks that flow, slowing water movement so it can seep into the ground instead of washing it away.

    2. Traps Sediment and Topsoil
      One of the greatest losses in erosion is nutrient-rich topsoil. TrexGeo’s fibers hold sediment in place, protecting the land’s fertility and keeping the ground ready for vegetation.

    3. Encourages Vegetation Growth
      Coir mesh is breathable and flexible, allowing roots to grow straight through and anchor deep into the soil. This creates a natural reinforcement system — once the roots take hold, the land becomes self-stabilizing.

    4. Biodegrades Naturally
      Unlike synthetic mats that linger in the environment, TrexGeo coir mesh decomposes gradually as plants take over. This means no plastic waste, no long-term disruption, and no costly removal.

    TREXGEO Coir Mesh for Every Project Need

    Not all erosion control challenges are the same, which is why our products are available in three durable grades to match the intensity of your site conditions and under ISO quality standards, ensuring consistent performance and long-term reliability.

    400gsm Coir Mesh

    • Ideal for low-impact applications
    • Perfect for small slopes and residential landscaping

    700gsm Coir Mesh

    • Medium-duty strength
    • Suitable for roadside projects and moderate slopes

    900gsm Coir Mesh

    • Heavy-duty erosion control
    • Designed for high-flow areas, steep embankments, and riverbanks

    Built for Projects That Demand Sustainability

    TrexGeo Coir Geotextiles aren’t just effective — they’re versatile. From protecting riverbanks to stabilizing slopes, from road embankments to agricultural land, this product adapts to diverse environments.

    Engineers and land managers choose TrexGeo because it provides:

    • A natural solution that aligns with modern sustainability goals.
    • Cost-effective installation which requires no special equipment.
    • Proven performance through balancing strength and biodegradability.
    • Long-term benefits, as landscapes transition into self-sustaining systems.

    Why TrexGeo Stands Out

    Many erosion control solutions rely on synthetic fibers and plastic meshes. While they may provide short-term reinforcement, they leave behind waste that harms the environment and demands costly removal.

    TrexGeo Coir Geotextiles are different because they are,

    • 100% biodegradable – no waste, no pollution
    • Eco-friendly by design – works in harmony with the environment
    • Engineered for performance – strong enough to control erosion, natural enough to disappear when no longer needed
    • Trusted Globally – manufactured to the high-quality standards TREX is known for

    A Natural Path to Sustainable Growth

    By the time TrexGeo Coir Geotextiles have fully decomposed, the story is already complete: roots are deeply established, vegetation thrives, and the land has become self-sufficient. What started as a simple net evolves into a thriving ecosystem without plastics, without waste, and without compromise.

    At TREX, we’re proud to deliver solutions that solve real problems while protecting the future. Erosion is one of the greatest silent threats to agriculture and infrastructure. But with TrexGeo Coir Geotextiles, we offer a way to fight it that respects the environment and builds long-term stability.

    Building Foundations from the Ground Up

    Innovation begins as an answer to a challenge. For Trex, that challenge was quite clear: How do we create a ground stabilization system that can withstand extreme conditions, deliver long-term efficiency, and remain simple to install on any site?

    From an in-depth understanding of the construction and mining industries, Traditional methods of ground stabilization were often labor-intensive, costly, and unreliable over time. Contractors, councils, and engineers needed something smarter, something that combined strength with simplicity. A call for a foundation system that was reliable and performance focused. That’s when Trex was developed: a high-performance, interlocking grid system designed to stabilize unsealed roads and support heavy loads and erosion control systems so that your project won’t have to compromise. Engineered through rigorous testing and refined by real-world feedback, Trex quickly became a game-changer in the industry. Its modular design allowed for quick installation, adaptability to any terrain, and exceptional durability under the heaviest of demands.

    Trusted across mining haul roads, access tracks, site pads, slope protection, and revegetation projects, its efficiency saves countless hours of maintenance, reduces operational costs, and provides confidence to industries that depend on reliable ground performance.

    Representing Actex’s commitment to creating solutions that solve problems before they happen. By focusing on performance, durability, and ease of use, Trex has earned its reputation as one of the most effective ground stabilization systems available today.

    Behind Trex is a team dedicated to solving real challenges in the construction industry. With the best minds at work along with a reliable source of suppliers, engineers, and contractors, Trex is geared up for real-world challenges.
