Hydraulically Applied Erosion Control

Hydraulically applied erosion control is a method that uses a slurry mixture—typically composed of mulch, seed, tackifiers, and other additives—sprayed onto soil surfaces to prevent erosion and promote vegetation. This technique is especially effective on steep slopes, construction sites, and areas where traditional erosion control blankets are difficult to install. Products like Flexterra have demonstrated superior performance, offering faster germination and significantly reduced soil loss compared to conventional methods . The slurry forms a bonded matrix that protects the soil from wind and water while supporting seed growth. It’s also environmentally friendly, reducing the need for plastic netting and enabling quicker application.
