High Performing Mulches

Fibramulch has proudly supplied the Hydroseeding industry with quality hydraulic mulches for 50 years. Hydroseeding is the process of mixing and spraying a slurry comprised of hydraulic mulch, seed, fertilizer, water; and optionally bonding agents and soil amendments. Hydroseeding is a cost effective method of establishing vegetation. The hydraulic mulch holds the seed in place, insulates the seed from temperature fluctuations, and absorbs water which gives the seed a more continuous and consistent amount of moisture to enhance germination. Hydroseeding allows you to quickly and cost-effectively cover areas as small as residential lawns to areas as large as mine sites.

Recently the Erosion Control Industry has divided hydraulic mulches into one of two categories: base mulch (re-vegetation) or high performance mulch (erosion control). “Erosion control” high performance hydraulic mulches have the addition of special bonding agents designed to withstand extreme slopes and weather activity. These are your high performing hydraulic mulch options.
