Hydraulically applied erosion control is a method that uses a slurry mixture—typically composed of mulch, seed, tackifiers, and other additives—sprayed onto soil surfaces to prevent erosion and promote vegetation. This technique is especially effective on steep slopes, construction sites, and areas where traditional erosion control blankets are difficult to install. Products like Flexterra have demonstrated superior performance, offering faster germination and significantly reduced soil loss compared to conventional methods . The slurry forms a bonded matrix that protects the soil from wind and water while supporting seed growth. It’s also environmentally friendly, reducing the need for plastic netting and enabling quicker application.
Base mulches are the foundational component of hydraulically applied erosion control systems, designed to stabilize soil, retain moisture, and support seed germination. These mulches are typically made from wood fiber, paper, or a blend of both, and...
Bonded Fiber Matrices (BFMs) are advanced hydraulically applied erosion control products that create a strong, flexible blanket over the soil. Made from wood fibers and natural binders, they bond tightly to the surface, reducing erosion from rain...
Engineered mediums like Flexterra offer top-tier erosion control by combining strong soil bonding with excellent moisture retention. Made from...
