Hydro Mulching

Advanced Seeding for Rapid Soil Stabilization

Hydro mulching (also known as hydraulic mulch seeding) is a fast, efficient, and highly effective method for establishing vegetation on large or difficult-to-access areas.

At Soil Concepts Inc., we use professional-grade hydro mulching equipment and premium materials to deliver uniform coverage, fast germination, and long-term erosion protection.

What is Hydro Mulching?

Hydro mulching involves spraying a slurry of seed, mulch, fertilizer, water, and a tackifier over bare soil using a high-pressure hose.

This slurry creates a moist, nutrient-rich environment that promotes rapid seed germination and root growth while holding the mixture firmly in place to resist wind and water erosion.

When & Why It’s Used

Hydro mulching is ideal for:

  • Large open areas where traditional seeding is inefficient
  • Steep slopes or hard-to-reach terrains
  • Projects that require quick vegetation growth for erosion control
  • DOT, industrial, commercial, or residential developments needing final stabilization
  • Environmentally sensitive areas where minimal disturbance is preferred

It’s a powerful erosion control tool that combines speed, performance, and compliance in a single application.

Our Process

SCI tailors each hydro mulching application to site conditions and project goals.

Here’s how we do it:
01

Assess slope, soil condition, and access points

02

Select the right blend of seed, mulch, fertilizer, and tackifier for optimal results

03

Apply slurry evenly using high-pressure equipment for consistent coverage

04

Monitor for growth and offer follow-up support as needed to ensure successful establishment
