Hydromulching New South Wales

Meeting The Need To Revegetate NSW Soils

Erosion can have devastating effects on both highland and lowland regions with inadequate vegetation cover. Hill slopes are especially vulnerable to their detrimental impact, whereas flat terrain can remain relatively safer, provided there is sufficient ground cover.

Experts and erosion control service providers such as Erizon play a crucial role in such situations with their long-term revegetation solutions. To address the problems mentioned above in New South Wales, Erizon offers hydromulching as a sustainable revegetation strategy.

Hydromulching is an effective method for promoting plant growth, which involves the application of a carefully formulated mixture onto the ground. The mixture comprises water, seeds, mulch, and soil enhancers. The mulch, made up of natural components such as wood fibres and straw, forms a protective layer supporting the seeds and soil. 

The soil mix contains enhancers that create an optimal growth environment, allowing seeds to germinate more quickly. These enhancers enrich the soil with vital nutrients, while the mulch helps to retain moisture levels and suppress weed growth. This creates an ideal foundation for plant growth and development.

The Best Hydromulching Solution For New South Wales

Erizon has been serving various communities in New South Wales, supplying them with revegetation solutions that comply with environmental regulations and endure for an extended period.

In any instance, our soil scientists and engineers will always start a project with an initial assessment yielding a result that guides us on the right solution that is specific to the site.

Hydromulching is a technique we recommend for depleted soils needing support for plant growth. Two types of hydromulching solutions target different areas, and they are:

Hydromulching HGM

Hydromulching HGM is a one-step application procedure designed to aid plant growth in challenging environments.

Hydraulic Growth Media (HGM) is a type of plant growth medium that retains water for an extended period of time, facilitating earlier seed germination and subsequent plant development. Because of its high water content, it can be used as a protective layer over the soil, thus, reducing the likelihood of soil erosion.

We incorporate a tracking dye into our EnviroPro HGM. Spreading the mixture with hoses, hydro trucks, or drones is simplified through this additional solution. While this tracking dye is often overlooked in conventional practices, it is vital to the success of our revegetation initiatives.

Hydromulching BFM

Our Hydromulching BFM solution is ideal for areas with steep slopes and heavy rainfall.

Bonded Fiber Matrix is a two-step application procedure that uses a proprietary material. In the first step, we may wet the surface down, plant some seeds, and apply our proprietary mixture evenly. This component guarantees that the seed makes proper contact with the soil.

The second phase is the application of a spray made of cellulosic mulch, a proprietary binder, and a tackifier. This results in a layer of protection being formed over the soil’s surface, which lasts for anywhere from six months to a year and acts as a kind of erosion control blanket.

Our BFM also has the power to reduce weeds, leading to healthier plants and increased yields.
