Gabion Technologies India is trying to bring about positive change to make Planet Earth a much greener and happier place to live. Every year, we introduce new technology that is sustainable. We brought GTI^® Hydroseeding to help make our planet greener and allow planting new ones in huge areas as a gift to our coming generations.

What is GTI^® Hydroseeding?

GTI^® Hydroseeding is an accelerated planting process that uses mix of right seeds, mulch, fertilizers and activators mixed with water in a hydro seeder tank to form a thick slurry. Hydroseeding has become increasing popular, over shadowing both hand-seeding and sod, for a wide array of job sites and applications.

Where is hydroseeding best suited?

Applications of hydroseeding is well adapted for re-vegetation of huge tracks of land, as well as for poor or barren land of sand or rock and generally for steep, denuded slopes which are often difficult to revegetate. It is very helpful in places like hill slopes for erosion control and quick plantation.

Some of these uses include residential lawns, erosion control, hillside stabilization, vegetation restoration, wildfire repair, roadsides, national parks, soil renovation, landfills, city parks, airport dust control, and many other versatile uses.

What goes in GTI^® Hydroseed mix?

It is important to have a right mixture of compatible seeds, mulch, fertilizers, activators and water in a hydroseeder tank to form thick slurry. This should be later applied with pressure using a Hydroseeder to the slope surface by a 100-psi pressure pump.

Application of GTI^® Hydroseed

Spraying of the mixture shall be done with the help of a hydroseeder. A hydroseeder is a machine that attaches a nozzle, pump and hose to a holding truck. The thick slurry is sprayed using a hydroseeder and saves both time and money when repeated applications are needed in the same area. The application should be such that the end product must form a blanket within two hours of application, and soil erosion must be controlled after two hours of application.

In order to restore the natural slope and stabilize soil slopes, Hydroseeding provides a wholesome slope treatment. Hydroseeding is suitable for soil disturbed areas requiring temporary protection until permanent stabilization are established naturally.

Understanding the benefits of GTI^® Hydroseeding

Hydroseeding is unquestionably the most cost-effective approach for achieving the desired growing results without the expenditure, time commitment, material costs, or installation requirements of sodding or traditional hand seeding methods. Hydroseeding often costs 50-80% less than sod.

Hydroseeding is also the cost-effective solution over hand-seeding as well. While the average hand-sewn lawn takes about half the day, the same area can be hydroseeded to completion in about an hour to an hour-and-a-half.

Hydroseeding is certainly the cost-effective alternative and wave of the future, providing even more attractive results, a healthier lawn, cost savings, and faster germination.
