The paper aims to present a short review regarding geosynthetics use for soil erosion control, as well as a case study about a landslides stabilization on side slopes using a modern solution based on geosynthetics in Galați area. The use of geosynthetics for soil erosion control and landslides stabilization, but not only, in close connection to environment protection, is being widely recognized mainly in the developed countries in the last years. As it is known, the geosynthetics have six main functions, namely: filtration, drainage, separation, reinforcement, fluid barrier, and protection. Particularly, in terms of soil erosion control, as well as mainly for landslides stabilization, there are used geogrids for soil and land reinforcement.
