Some ways we can help
-
Seed Mix Design & Enhancement Technology
Carefully formulated species lists tailored to your specific soil chemistry, precipitation zone, and restoration goals. We move beyond generic "shotgun mixes" to select species that are statistically proven to establish in your specific region, enhanced with cutting-edge seed coating treatments to improve germination success.
-
Site Preparation & Weed Management
Success is determined before the seed hits the ground. We provide comprehensive protocols for herbicide application (rates and timing) to control invasives like Cheatgrass. We also advise on mechanical preparation, including chaining, drill calibration, and planting depth, to maximize soil-to-seed contact.
-
Mineland & Critical Site Reclamation
Advanced restoration strategies for the most challenging, highly disturbed environments.
Toxic & Sterile Soils: Solutions for mine tailings and soils with heavy metal or salinity issues.
Steep Slope Stabilization: Erosion control techniques for roadways and vertical grades.
Regulatory Compliance: Design plans specifically engineered to meet bond release standards and federal reclamation requirements.
