Hydraulic Mulch

Last Updated: 06/06/24
Hydraulic Mulch

Hydraulic mulch is comprised of small pieces of cellulose fibers, which can be made completely from wood waste or recovered paper. It stabilizes soil, prevents wind and water erosion, and provides protection and warmth for seeds, helping them grow. Through hydroseeding, a mixture of water, seeds, and hydraulic mulch is sprayed over bare soil to quickly promote plant growth.
