Extreme Slopes & Waterways
Flexible Growth Medium™ (FGM™) have functional longevities of greater than 12 months, and are commonly used to stabilize steep closes (<1H:1V), long slogs, rough slopes, highly erosive soils, and when rainfall is expected within 48 hours of application. The ultimate performer is Flexterra® High Performance-Flexible Growth Medium™ (HP-FGM™). For extended protection, CocoFlex™ ET-FGM™ has a functional longevity of up to two years. These products are also appropriate for extremely dry conditions. The GreenArmor™ System offers an environmentally superior way to protect high-discharge waterways and steep slopes, and can replace more expensive rock or concrete in areas of concentrated flows. It starts with Futerra® TRM and includes Flexterra HP-FGM infill.

BioCover™ SS is a hydraulically applied engineered matrix designed to provide up to 4 months of cost-effective dust suppression, soil stabilization and erosion control on high dust-producing projects. It is non-toxic and biodegradable, and once cured creates a durable, yet flexible bond with the substrate, as opposed to rigid crusts developed by inorganic stabilizers.
Featured Products
Superior stabilization in a quick, safe, easy hydraulic application.

Soil testing, interpretation of the test results, and incorporating remedies to improve soils should be a fundamental part of any reclamation or revegetation project. Without a proper understanding of soils or substrates considered for use as growing media to establish vegetation, you can’t predict potential project success. Profile Soil Solutions Software (PS3) provides access to conduct Free Soil Tests along with directions on proper soil collection for testing. PS3 also assists in the interpretation of the soil test and offers prescriptive application rates of various agronomic formulations based on key soil properties such as texture, classification, pH, nutrient levels, organic matter content, electroconductivity, sodium absorption ratio and potentially elevated levels of harmful salts and metals. Patent-pending ProGanics™ Biotic Soil Media™ (BSM™) has been designed as a cost-effective topsoil alternative that accelerates the development of depleted soils/substrates with low organic matter, low nutrient levels and limited biological activity.
Featured Products
The most advanced Engineered Soil Media (ESM) is the best replacement for supplemental topsoil or compost.
