EROSION CONTROL
BATTLING WIND AND WATER EROSION ON SITES AROUND THE WORLD
NATURESOWN EROSION CONTROL PRODUCTS
Erosion can create major problems for infrastructure and the surrounding environment. Damage to roadways, buildings, and other drainage can be costly, but prevention doesn’t have to be. Hydroseeding is a cost-effective means to stabilize soil particles in areas prone to erosion. By holding soil into place long enough for Mother Nature to take hold hydroseeding is a solution for long-term stabilization. Hydroseeding has been used throughout the world for over sixty years and has been proven to work in every climate.
HMI produces hydro mulch for any type of erosion control project large or small. We manufacture products fit for any hydromulching equipment in the market as well as amendments to accompany them. HMI has sent hydro mulch to contractors around the world for applications including solar farms, wind parks, forest fire remediation, residential and park, pipeline stabilization, mining soil remediation, and road side stabilization.
