A wide range of wood and cellulose hydraulic mulches provide a short-term and cost-effective solution for 3 - 6 months on sites generally <4H:1V. Advanced Fiber Matrices with Thermally Refined® wood fibers are available for longer-term solutions and/or longer slope lengths. ProPlus® Fiber Mulch Amendments can be added to fine tune the solution and deliver exactly the performance each job demands, helping slurries shoot farther, spread more uniformly, and bond to the soil more securely.

As slope length and gradient increase, water travels at a faster velocity, exerting larger erosive forces on soil. Higher performing products, therefore, are warranted to adequately stabilize the soil.  ProMatrix™ provides class-leading erosion control effectiveness and meets or exceeds all industry testing standards for BFM/SMM products; Hydro-Blanket® BFM and Terra-Matrix™ SMM outperform rolled erosion control blankets in delivering outstanding soil stabilization and sediment control; Flexterra® High Performance-Flexible Growth Medium™ (HP-FGM™) is proven to surpass all hydraulically applied mulch products and turf establishment blankets.

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™). This product is also appropriate for extremely dry conditions. The GreenArmor™ System offers a more aesthetically pleasing and environmentally superior way to protect high-discharge waterways and steep slopes, and can replace more expensive rock or concrete for entryways, water features, even articulated block designs and MSE wall designs. It starts with Futerra® TRM and includes Flexterra HP-FGM infill.

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.
