100% Cellulose, also known as Paper Mulch, is made from 100% recycled cellulose fibers. It is one of the most common erosion control mulches because it successfully controls erosion at a cost-effective price.

When hydraulically applied, the cellulose fibers bond with the soil to create a porous layer that controls erosion and accelerates germination for plant growth.

Apply 100% Cellulose Mulch on flat to mild slopes up to 4:1.

70/30 Hydromulch Blend

70/30 Blend Hydromulch

70% DLK fibers, 30% cellulose fibers plus Super Absorbing Polymer (S.A.P.)
Apply on moderates slopes

Benefits

DLK (cardboard) fibers result in superior water retention
S.A.P. has a water holding capacity of 1,500 times its own weight
Improves turf establishment by accelerating germination

Applications

Soil stabilization during construction
Construction seeding for residential and commercial developments
Stabilizing and seeding golf courses

Mulch & Grow Hybrid 70/30 Blend is a unique composition of DLK fibers and cellulose fibers. Double lined kraft (DLK) fibers are derived from milled cardboard and used to improve water retention. DLK and cellulose fibers are blended with the proprietary Super Absorbing Polymer (S.A.P.) 1000 to improve water holding capacity to 1500 times its own weight. Apply Mulch & Grow Hybrid for erosion control on highways, developments and golf courses.

Hydroseeding steep slope with wood mulch

100% Wood Hydraulic Mulch

Fully degradable wood fibers
Apply on slopes up to 2:1 to control erosion

Benefits

Excellent moisture retention
Aids in vegetation establishment
Controls erosion on steep slopes where erosion control blanket installs would be difficult

Applications

Highway embankments
Soil stabilization and vegetation establishment on solar sites
Erosion control for commercial and residential construction

100% Wood Hydromulch is derived from wood chips. Wood Mulch has greater moisture retention than cellulose fibers which is important for establishing vegetation. Use Wood Hydraulic Mulch on moderately steep slopes with moderate erosion problems.

EZ Mulch Advanced Formula (AF) is formulated with a unique blend of paper and corn fiber. This pellet mulch can be used for many seeding applications: by hand, in a spreader and in a hydroseeder. EZ Mulch AF is designed to fully expand within two minutes of being hit with water. It also holds up to 40% more water than other pellet mulches on the market. EZ Mulch AF has a low dust profile, is biodegradable and does not contain any weed seed.

High Performance Hydromulch Products

Earthguard Hydromulch Bale
EarthGuard mulch on slope

EarthGuard® Fiber Matrix™

90% wood fibers, 10% binding agents
Mulch dyed green for visibility and application accuracy
Available in bale or liquid form

Benefits

99.99% erosion control effectiveness
Rapid germination and turf establishment
Flocculates stormwater runoff
Supported by the EPA and USDA

Applications

Slope stabilization
Reclamation
Construction seeding
Land development
Pipelines

EarthGuard® Fiber Matrix™ is a high performance hydromulch made from wood fibers and a proprietary binding agent. This engineered mulch has a high soil retention rating which means it is a great choice for erosion control – even on steep slopes.

EarthGuard Fiber® Matrix™ has a unique formula that works directly on the soil so it does not harden. Instead, the mulch creates a porous covering that allows water to infiltrate and aids in vegetative establishment. When EarthGuard® Fiber Matrix™ binds with the soil, it flocculates sediment so that discharged stormwater is clean. The high load rating and low application rate means you can apply more EarthGuard® in less time compared to other high performance mulches.
