Hydroseeding / Erosion Control

Hydroseeding and erosion control

are innovative solutions employed by Yost Site Services to stabilize areas affected by construction and development activities.

Hydroseeding involves the application of a “slurry” mixture containing seed, fertilizer, tackifier (a substance that helps the mixture stick together), and water. This method is highly effective for quickly establishing vegetation over large areas, promoting rapid growth and soil stabilization. Not only does hydroseeding produce sod-quality lawns, but it also plays a critical role in erosion control, preventing soil loss and water pollution by establishing a protective layer of vegetation.

Erosion control

is a crucial consideration in any construction or development project, as it helps to maintain soil health, protect water quality, and preserve the surrounding environment.

Yost Site Services utilizes a combination of techniques, including hydroseeding, to manage erosion effectively. By quickly establishing vegetation, hydroseeding helps to bind the soil, reducing the risk of erosion caused by wind and water. Additionally, the use of tackifiers in the hydroseed mixture ensures that the seed and soil amendments stay in place, even on sloped surfaces or in areas prone to heavy rains.

We tailor our strategies

for hydroseeding and erosion control to the specific needs of each project, taking into account the local climate, soil type, and desired vegetation.

This customized approach ensures optimal growth and soil stabilization, providing long-lasting protection against erosion. Whether you’re looking to enhance the aesthetics of a residential property with a lush lawn or need to stabilize a large commercial site post-construction, Yost Site Services has the expertise and technology to deliver outstanding results. Our commitment to sustainable practices and quality workmanship makes us a leader in hydroseeding and erosion control, ensuring your project not only thrives but also contributes positively to the environment.
