Hydroseeding for the Environment
In recent years, rapid population growth and unplanned urbanization have accelerated the construction sector. This has made the shortage of green spaces in cities a critical issue. Alongside increasing environmental awareness, the expansion of concrete landscapes has reduced liveable urban areas, emphasizing the need for green interventions. Municipalities and local governments are increasingly including green space expansion as a priority in their planning and strategic decisions.
One of the most effective technical solutions for urban green development is Hydroseeding.
Hydroseeding involves spraying a specially prepared mixture of seeds, fertilizers, fast-start growth agents, mulch, and adhesive onto the soil. Its effectiveness depends on careful planning, taking into account soil structure, topography, climate, environmental pressures, and wind conditions.
Key Advantages of Hydroseeding:
-
Speed and Cost Efficiency: Hydroseeding enables rapid coverage of large areas. Even a small hydroseeder can treat 6,000–7,000 m² per day.
-
Erosion Control: Adhesive-enhanced mixtures ensure strong surface adherence, making it effective for roadsides, slopes, and other erosion-prone areas.
-
Environmentally Friendly: All materials used are sterile, safe for the environment, and sustainable.
-
Water Retention: The mulch and mixture have high water retention capacity, providing significant water savings.
In metropolitan cities like Istanbul, the active green space per capita is around 1 m², compared to an average of 20 m² in European cities and over 80 m² in advanced cities such as Stockholm. Hydroseeding offers municipalities, contractors, and environmental projects a fast, cost-effective, and reliable method to increase green coverage and improve urban landscapes.
Due to these benefits, Hydroseeding / Liquid Seeding is a preferred method for public institutions and contractors aiming to enhance urban greenery and support sustainable environmental management.
