Hydromulching is a cost effective and environmentally responsible way to revegetate larger areas of land. Hydromulchis used for mine site revegetation, roadside rehabilitation, new housing estates and steep embankments requiring immediate soil stabilization and long-term vegetative cover to manage soil erosion.
Hydromulching consists of a blend of mulch which can vary less effective paper mulch through to the more effective ErosionControl Matrix (ECM), straw and wood fibre mulch blends. The mulch is then mixed with a Tackifier, which holds the mulch together and binds it to the soil when sprayed. Added to the mix the seed, fertiliser and colour dye (if desired).
The seed and fertiliser blend is the most critical factor in ensuring a successful germination and long-term success of the Hydromulch. Envirostay, backed by our extensive knowledge, ensure the right mulch product, seed, fertilisers and area of application lines up to make your projects a success.
Hydromulching has many benefits for the environment. It will lock down loose soil particles susceptible to erosion by wind and low overland water flows. It also enriches the soil profile, which in turn will maintain healthy vegetation for years by creating a soil profile that encourages plant growth.
All of our mulch products are completely natural and will breakdown over time therefore enhancing the soil health and stimulating microbial activity. This is very important especially in mine revegetation and deep cuttings beside roads and rail lines where the soil can be very low in key nutrients and organic matter.
