What is hydroseeding ?

Hydroseeding – also known as ‘hydraulic mulch seeding‘, ‘hydro-mulching‘ or ‘hydraseeding‘, is simply a seeding process that involves applying the seed in a mix of: the appropriate seed, water and a fibre mulch via a pressurised spray. In certain circumstances, where quick growth is required, a fertilizer can also be added to the pre-mix.

Note: A green dye is also added to the mix. This can be seen in some of the images. This helps the operator to see where the spray has been applied on the ground as the application proceeds.

The spray is applied from the spray which can be static or, more generally: towed behind a 4×4 – see gallery.

Hydroseeding and erosion control

Hydroseeding is often used as an erosion control technique on construction sites where stripped soils are mounded for lengthy periods. The hydroseeding spray technique allows an ‘all in one’ easy spray application of seed, fertiliser and mulch which is less time consuming, less labour intensive and far more efficient in comparison to the traditional process of hand broadcasting of seed followed by additional dry application of fertiliser. These benefits are most obvious when attempting to seed on a steep slope.

Stone removal

Kevi Pekka

From small gardens to farms and industrial scale  we can remove stone at up to 400 tonnes per day with out mean green “kivi pekka” stone removing machine!

Our Kevi Pekka machine comes from Finland where their rocky soil make it an ideal testing ground for developing this powerful Stone Picking machine.  It comes complete with a soil seive so that the soil stays where it should and the stones come out clean.
