Hydroseeding

For medium to large scale projects, hydroseeding is the most economical and basic form of seed establishment utilized for turf & native grasses, wildflowers, and erosion control mixes. The “1-Step Method” consists of a 4-Part Slurry:

• Regionally selected seed varieties
• Fertilizer component tailored to site conditions
• Hydromulch fiber to aid in uniform seed disbursement & moisture retention
• Tackifier to bind the slurry for uniform seed to soil contact during establishment

Straw blowing is the most cost-effective method to reduce soil erosion and sediment runoff on active and inactive construction sites. This methodology provides superior erosion control protection by limiting soil particle run-off resulting from rainfall at construction sites. The following 2-Step Method can be modified with the addition of a seeding application to create the 3-Step Method.

• Pneumatically applied at rates determined by analyzing site conditions
• Sealed in place with Hydromulch and Tackifier to reduce wind erosion.

Seed placement is accomplished by mechanically injecting the seed, fertilizer, and inoculant components into the soil surface at pre-determined rates; often the preferred method for wetland mitigation projects.

• Ensures excellent seed to soil contact
• Closest to the natural re-seeding process, especially for native species  revegetation
• Custom mixes can include: Native grasses, clovers, and wildflowers
