Hydromulch for Erosion Control and Vegetation

Hydromulch is an effective erosion control product that is hydraulically applied to soil. Combine hydraulic mulch with water, grass seed and soil amendments to control erosion and establish vegetation on construction sites.

Applications

Ground cover after land disturbing

Seeding commercial developments

Fast seeding for new residential developments

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.

Hydroseeding steep slope with wood mulch

100% Wood Hydraulic Mulch

Fully degradable wood fibers

Apply on slopes up to 2:1

Benefits

Excellent moisture retention

Aids in vegetation establishment

Controls erosion on steep slopes where erosion control blanket installs would be difficult

Applications

Steep highway embankments

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.

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.

EDGE™ is a granular hydromulch that offers excellent erosion control and quick growth establishment. Granular mulch is easier to load and handle compared to other hydraulic mulches. This type of mulch is ideal for a small hydroseeder but it can also be spread by hand or spreader. EDGE™ is dyed dark green in order to make application easy and uniform.
