Erosion control is the practice of preventing or controlling wind or water erosion in agriculture, land development and construction. Effective erosion controls are important techniques in preventing water pollution and soil loss. 

With stricter regulations under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System requirements and tougher mandates from local governments, contractors everywhere are looking for effective and economical ways to control erosion and establish vegetation. 

Vegetation establishment in Rhode Island is now faster and easier using hydro seeding equipment.

Hydroseeding is an economical and effective way establish vegetation and control erosion even on steep slopes.

The use of ProMatrix™ Engineered Fiber Matrix (EFM) or 
Flexterra – Flexible Growth Medium (FGM) sprayed onto slopes is more economical than applying blankets and under many circumstances, is as effective.
