Erosion Control Hydroseeding
Comprehensive Erosion Prevention for Every Site Condition
Uncontrolled erosion costs the construction industry billions annually in regulatory fines, project delays, and environmental damage. Hydroseed Solutions provides turnkey erosion control hydroseeding that meets PA DEP Chapter 102 requirements, keeps your NPDES permit in good standing, and prevents sediment from leaving your site.
The Challenge
Erosion Doesn't Wait for Your Schedule
Every day that disturbed soil sits exposed is a day erosion is moving your site downhill and into waterways. Pennsylvania's erosion and sediment control regulations are strict — and enforcement is getting stricter.
PA DEP Chapter 102 requires erosion and sediment control measures on all earth disturbance activities 5,000+ sqft
NPDES permit violations carry fines up to $10,000 per day per violation, plus potential criminal penalties
Traditional erosion control methods — silt fence, straw mulch, seeding — often fail during heavy rainfall events
Exposed soil on active construction sites erodes at 10-100x the rate of vegetated ground
Sediment-laden runoff that reaches streams triggers immediate DEP enforcement action and project shutdowns
Delayed stabilization compounds costs — eroded soil must be regraded, and vegetation timeline restarts
Our Approach
Rapid Stabilization Protocol
Our erosion control program combines hydraulic mulching technology with proven seed systems to stabilize disturbed areas fast — often within 24 hours of application — and establish permanent vegetation cover that satisfies Chapter 102 requirements.
E&S Plan Review
We review your project's Erosion & Sediment Control Plan to identify specification requirements, seed mix mandates, mulch rates, and stabilization timelines. Our application is designed to satisfy your plan requirements exactly.
Phased Stabilization Strategy
We work with your construction schedule to stabilize completed areas as they become available — not just at the end of the project. This reduces cumulative erosion exposure and keeps your site in compliance throughout construction.
Hydraulic Mulch Application
Depending on site conditions and plan requirements, we apply conventional hydraulic mulch, stabilized mulch matrix (SMM), bonded fiber matrix (BFM), or flexible growth medium (FGM) at specified rates for immediate soil protection.
Temporary & Permanent Vegetation
We carry both temporary stabilization seed mixes (fast-germinating annuals for interim cover) and permanent vegetation mixes (perennial blends for final stabilization). We apply what your site needs, when it needs it.
Compliance Documentation
Every application includes date-stamped records of materials applied, rates, seed mix composition, and photo documentation — the exact records you need for E&S compliance inspections and permit requirements.

Applications
Active Construction Sites
Phased stabilization of construction sites as grading progresses — keeping your project in NPDES compliance without waiting for final grade on the entire site.
Stockpile & Borrow Areas
Temporary or permanent stabilization of soil stockpiles, borrow areas, and material staging zones that generate sediment-laden runoff during rain events.
Channel & Swale Stabilization
Vegetation establishment in constructed channels, swales, and drainage ways that must carry concentrated stormwater flow without eroding.
Emergency Stabilization
Rapid-response erosion control for sites that have received DEP notice of violation or need immediate stabilization before an anticipated storm event.
