Hydroseeding
Hydroseeding is a highly effective method for promoting vegetation and stabilizing soil. By blending seeds, fertilizer, tackifier, and wood mulch with water into a nutrient-rich slurry, this technique ensures optimal seed germination and growth. The wood mulch retains moisture superbly, securing the seeds and facilitating a greenhouse effect that accelerates vegetation growth.
PLH Erosion Control has been specializing in hydroseeding for 22 years, offering a solution that not only prevents erosion but also supports successful reclamation projects. This method is 100% environmentally friendly, aligning with sustainable practices while delivering effective results.
Biotic soil media, often referred to as BSM, is a crucial component in ecological restoration and construction projects aimed at promoting rapid vegetation establishment. These products are composed of organic materials that enhance soil fertility and microbial activity, creating an optimal environment for plant growth. BSM proves highly effective in areas with poor soil quality by improving water retention, nutrient availability, and soil structure. Its efficacy is well-documented in helping stabilize soils on slopes and disturbed lands, making it a key tool in erosion control and land rehabilitation efforts. This approach not only expedites vegetation establishment but also contributes to long-term environmental sustainability.

At PLH Erosion Control, we specialize in helicopter hydroseeding for effective vegetation restoration in hard-to-reach or off-grid areas. We partner with trusted helicopter companies, known for their years of reputable service, to ensure that our hydroseeding applications are precise and effective. We use a specially designed spreader to handle thick mulches and constructed to facilitate large-scale distribution, thereby maximizing area coverage. This method is ideal for large-scale projects in remote locations, providing a reliable solution for areas where traditional seeding methods are not feasible.

The Industry is moving away from traditional roll-out blankets that require manual stapling, we utilize advanced spray-on erosion control blankets. These products contour seamlessly to the landscape, offering an efficient, safer, and more cost-effective alternative to old methods. With over 22 years of experience, we've found these solutions to be perfect replacements for conventional coconut blankets, providing better fit and enhanced protection.
SPray-on Erosion Control Blankets
FGM Spray-On Erosion Control Blankets
Immediate Impact and Long-Lasting Protection: Our Flexible Growth Medium (FGM) uses a mix of wood fibers and other durable materials to offer up to 18 months of protection. These blankets are ready for immediate application, offering strong slope stabilization and working well in combination with other erosion control methods.
CocoFlex ET-FGM Spray-On Erosion Control Blankets
Extended Durability and Versatility: CocoFlex ET-FGM combines the toughness of coconut and wood fibers, making it one of the most durable spray-on erosion control products available. It provides protection for up to 24 months and can be applied instantly. Additionally, it can be used in conjunction with various erosion control technologies, including turf reinforcement mats, to effectively handle diverse environmental conditions.
By providing these top-tier, environmentally friendly products, we ensure our clients receive the most effective erosion control solutions on the market.
Pipeline tackifying is a specialized process crucial to maintaining soil integrity and preventing erosion around pipeline installations. At PLH Erosion Control, our tack truck operations are equipped with a unique boom that extends off the side of our machine. This innovative feature allows us to spray the backside of soil piles, ensuring full and precise coverage, which is critical for effective soil stabilization. The application of tackifier substances helps to bind soil particles together, significantly reducing the risk of erosion due to wind and water. This not only preserves the immediate environment around the pipeline but also safeguards the structural integrity of the installation, ensuring long-term durability and stability.
Pipeline Tackifying
For our dust control services, we begin by taking soil samples from the project site and analyzing them in a lab to determine the most effective product for that specific soil type. One of our frequently used products is Soil Lynx, an environmentally friendly soil stabilizer. This product binds to the soil, enhancing its resistance against erosion from shear forces and washouts while still allowing essential elements like sunlight, heat, and moisture to penetrate. This environment promotes successful seed germination. In addition to Soil Lynx, we employ a variety of other products tailored to meet the unique conditions and requirements of each site, ensuring optimal dust control and soil stability.

Each time we've used this approach, the results have been outstanding, consistently leaving our clients very pleased with the outcome. These treated areas, though subtle in appearance, represent successful application of our specialized products, demonstrating their effectiveness in enhancing soil stability and promoting healthy ecosystems.
Fire suppression is a critical service offered by us, focusing on the application of fire retardants to manage and control fires. Our operations have been trusted by large commercial entities and fire departments, demonstrating our capability and reliability in critical situations. The use of fire suppression techniques is vital not only for immediate fire containment but also for protecting investments in infrastructure and property. By preventing the spread of fires, we help safeguard both natural and developed environments, ensuring the safety of assets and potentially saving significant costs in damage repair and replacements. Our experience with diverse fire scenarios enables us to deliver effective solutions tailored to each unique situation
Fire Suppression
Our process utilizes a Kubota diesel side-by-side, equipped with a front-mounted seeder and harrows on the back, ensuring comprehensive seed distribution and optimal soil engagement. This method greatly enhances seed-to-soil contact, which is vital for successful germination and growth, particularly suitable for expansive agricultural projects, environmental reclamation, and roadside developments. Our equipment's adaptability allows us to efficiently manage the seeding process across varied terrains and conditions, promoting vegetation establishment in areas where traditional planting methods are impractical.
