The fence is just meant to stop that ground from running off of the construction site. As construction nears the end they can spread it out again around the now developed land and hopefully plantlife will take over fast enough to stop future erosion from the site.

In my experience, they mostly catch trash blowing across the construction site. A working site generates tons of random trash, from scrap pieces to cardboard boxes and plastic wrap. Having a low barrier around the site keeps it from blowing into nearby properties. Each morning the grunts can walk the perimeter and clean up whatever gets stuck in there.

These are called sediment control or “silt” fences. Civil agencies are granted a permit by their state environmental agencies to operate and one of the requirements is to limit the amount of sediment that leaves the construction site, especially in regards to preventing it from entering natural waterways.
