Services
Hydroseeding
Hydroseeding involves spraying a slurry of water, seed, hydromulch, and nutrients to establish vegetation on inaccessible or challenging sites. This method is ideal for large-scale projects requiring rapid grass, wildflower, or shrub growth. Our techniques ensure cost-effective, durable coverage for infrastructure, land reclamation, and environmental projects.
Erosion Control
Our erosion control solutions use high-performance hydromulch, HBRS, and Armadillo SA to stabilise slopes and prevent soil degradation. These soft-engineering methods offer immediate protection while promoting vegetation growth. Applications include roadways, embankments, and post-construction sites, combining environmental safety with long-term stability.
Wildflower Seeding
Wildflower hydroseeding creates vibrant, sustainable habitats for pollinators and wildlife. We offer tailored annual and perennial mixes to suit project requirements, from temporary displays to permanent meadows. This service supports ecological restoration and enhances landscape aesthetics with minimal maintenance.
Biotic Soil Amendment
Biotic soil amendments improve degraded soils by introducing organic matter, nutrients, and mycorrhizal fungi. This process enhances seed germination and plant growth without importing topsoil. Ideal for barren or contaminated sites, it reduces costs and supports sustainable vegetation establishment on slopes and erosion-prone areas.
Tree & Shrub Hydroseeding
This method establishes trees and shrubs on inaccessible sites using hydroseeded pioneer species. Combined with nurse crops, it creates biodiverse habitats and prevents erosion. Projects include landfill reclamation and woodland regeneration, achieving substantial growth within years through cost-effective, scalable techniques.
