Low Permeable Soil

Low permeable soil is a type of earth material characterized by its limited ability to allow water to pass through. This soil is typically composed of fine particles such as clay or silt, which pack closely together and reduce the rate of water infiltration. The low permeability attribute is especially important in applications where water retention or containment is required.

This material is commonly used in residential and commercial projects for lining ponds, constructing berms, or as a base layer in landfill caps and retention basins. Its ability to restrict water movement makes it ideal for preventing seepage and controlling erosion. However, low permeable soil can be more challenging to work with for landscaping or gardening, as it may lead to poor drainage and potential waterlogging. For projects requiring moisture control or containment, low permeable soil offers a reliable and effective solution.
