Effective erosion control solutions using hydromulch
Hydromulching is an effective method for dust and erosion control, providing a comprehensive solution to prevent soil erosion in various environments and dust control in high density areas. A variety of different formulas can be mixed with hydromulch of all types including Bonded Fibre Matrix, Enviromatrix and other options to suit any erosion control situation.

Why is erosion control important?
Dust, sediment and erosion control are now prominent concerns for local councils and environmental protection agencies like the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). These organisations have the authority to give large fines to anyone who does not comply with their duty of care in managing these issues.
Hydromulch application to surfaces such as open drains, banks, batters, trenches, subdivisions and new lawns is a very efficient and cost-effective solution to stop sediment run off. Sediment runoff from construction sites and poorly managed areas can harm water quality, ecosystems and increase flood risks. Dust from construction can adversely affect existing homes in the area. To address this, councils and agencies enforce strict guidelines, including the use of measures like hydromulching to prevent dust, erosion and promote vegetation.
Benefits of using Hydromulch Solutions for Erosion Control
Hydromulching combines immediate protection with long-term benefits by promoting vegetation and stabilising the soil structure, making it a valuable tool in sustainable land management practices.
-
Immediate Soil Protection
Hydromulching provides an instant protective cover over exposed soil. This barrier shields the soil from the impact of rainfall, minimizing the risk of erosion caused by water runoff and preventing the loss of topsoil.
-
Reduced Environmental Impact
Compared to traditional erosion control methods that may involve the use of non-biodegradable materials, hydromulching utilises organic mulch materials. This reduces the environmental impact and aligns with sustainable practices. Hydromulch Solutions are dedicated to sustaining and regenerating the land so do not use harmful chemicals or herbicides.
-
Prevention of Sediment Runoff
By creating a protective barrier and promoting vegetation, hydromulching helps prevent sediment runoff into nearby water bodies. This is crucial for maintaining water quality and preserving aquatic ecosystems.
-
Flexibility in Application
Hydromulching can be applied to various terrains, including slopes and challenging landscapes, where other erosion control methods may be less practical. This flexibility ensures that erosion control measures can be efficiently implemented in diverse geographical settings.
-
Cost-Effective Solution
Hydromulching is often more cost-effective than other erosion control measures, especially for large-scale projects. The one-step application process - combining mulching, seeding and erosion control - reduces labour and material costs.
-
Uniform Coverage
The spraying process ensures uniform distribution of the hydromulch mixture over the entire area, leaving no exposed soil. This uniform coverage minimises vulnerable points where erosion could initiate and contributes to a more effective erosion control strategy.
-
Dust Control
Hydromulch assists in dust prevention and control by covering disturbed areas to minimise effects to neighbouring homes, schools, buildings.
