Controlling erosion starts with one thing: getting healthy vegetation established fast. Dense, well-rooted cover is the most effective line of defense against erosion, no matter what other controls are in place. But there is no one-size-fits-all approach—each project, slope, and soil type demands a tailored seeding strategy.
CCS’s experts evaluate site conditions, performance goals, and access constraints to determine the optimal method, deploying hydroseeding, broadcast seeding, or drill seeding as needed to deliver the most effective results for each area of the project.
Sprayed as a wet mulch, this subset of hydroseeding is used as an erosion control product.
Broadcast seeding is often the method of choice when confronted with wet, hard-to-access, and otherwise challenging terrain - rapid coverage of vast acreage makes this a benefit of broadcast seeding. Used for both temporary or permanent erosion control, broadcast seeding provides a uniform distribution of the seed mix.
Commonly utilized for reseeding large highway, industrial, or commercial projects, drill seeding is a mechanical grass seeding method that incorporates great precision in the planting of seed at just the right soil depth and with perfect spacing.
Hydroseeding, the most efficient way to cover large areas when replanting grass, is also referred to as hydraulic mulch seeding, hydro-mulching, and hydraseeding. It is frequently used as an erosion control technique on construction sites and along roadways as well as to reseed swaths of land impacted by fire. It is particularly useful on steep hills and highly erosive slopes.
