Our Company
Devon Distributing Corporation
Tom Carpenter founded Devon Distributing Corporation in 1996. As an ESC contractor, Devon Distributing Corporation installs approximately 300,000 linear feet of silt fence per year, a level of experience that gave Tom first hand knowledge of the difficulties of trench silt fencing. That’s why in 1996, he imagined, developed and manufactured the first tommy™.
As a contractor and manufacturer, Devon Distributing Corporation has unlimited experience with the tommy™ in all soil and weather conditions, and landscape challenges.

He also developed the training CD on silt fence for the International Erosion Control Association. Many of Tom’s installation and placement concepts have been duplicated in training manuals and state agency specifications. He has literally “written the book” on silt fencing.
