Our Mission
To provide Australian industries with solutions and services that benefit the environment as much as it does the client.
Our History
We have spent many years servicing Australian industries and sourcing the best products and solutions.
Our People
Our highly-trained and experienced revegetation professionals continuously undergo training to ensure our clients are receiving the best service.
We understand the value of mine rehabilitation as part of the best practices of socially responsible miners in this modern era.
Thus, various organisations from the mining sector have already tapped into our revegetation services. We facilitate the initial survey, soil testing, remediation planning, and damage assessment in mining sites across the country.
Local miners may initiate a revegetation project on their own. Still, with poor implementation and without proper guidance, they may skip a few essential steps to a successful soil rehabilitation project.
For instance, many mining sites pose challenges to soil rehabilitation because of their typical barrenness — with only the bare bedrock left. The majority of mines, however, still have topsoil present. This rich part of the soil needs to be salvaged, managed and reapplied correctly. The bioactive components left in the ground can still be used to hasten the process of remediating the mined area.
With proper damage assessment, a mining site may be rehabilitated without wasting the resources that are still present in the area.
In other cases, a mining site may first require the decompaction of all compacted areas before it can be seeded successfully. Processing areas, network roads, and equipment storage areas all need to be ripped up to a depth of 3 feet to optimise germination, root penetration, and water and nutrient uptake.
By skipping decompaction and other essential pre-planting practices, local rehabilitation initiatives may fail in fully repairing and reviving mined lands. Our team of experts ensure that each revegetation project we handle will address the peculiar conditions for every land area we work on, mined sites in particular.
We religiously use tailored revegetation methods that are based on the latest soil restoration research, cooperating with local miners and environmental scientists alike.
Hydroseeding is the revegetation technique that spreads a mixture of water, seed, fertiliser and tracking dye on topsoil. It is one of the modern applications of hydraulics that we employ to make revegetation more efficient.
Among the many benefits of hydroseeding is eliminating the constraints of traditional seeding methods. This innovative process allows the seeding of areas that would otherwise be difficult to reach by manual or hand-operated procedures.
Our hydroseeding technique involves the use of a tracking dye, which helps us monitor the areas we have already covered. This method prevents both the wastage of resources and any plant overgrowth across any landscape. Our trained personnel also ensure that the solution is mixed evenly and applied uniformly using our advanced hydraulic equipment.
Moreover, we add a binder into the seeding mixture to prevent the components from being washed away by water. This method has specifically been proven helpful in keeping the seeds and the nutritive compounds from sliding down along steep batters.
If you are looking to revegetate a considerable area where quality soil already subsists, you may consider hydroseeding. It is best for land areas where mulching is no longer needed and where quality irrigation already exists.
While hydroseeding does not offer erosion protection until after the vegetation has established itself in the soil, its long-term benefits far more outweigh the short-term constraints.
Overall, our hydroseeding technique can be a much more cost-effective way to regrow your land compared to other methods, such as direct seeding, drill seeding, and turf rolling.
Thus, it has become a fundamental part of our advanced revegetation procedure.

Hydromulching involves the spraying of a mixture of water, seed, fertiliser, cellulosic mulch fibres, tracking dye, and a binder on the soil. The resulting slurry is spread through an advanced hydroseeder.
You will notice that the addition of mulch is what sets hydromulching apart from hydroseeding.
The mulch fibres, which can be in the form of straw or wood fibres, act as the Hydraulic Growth Medium (HGM).
Hydromulching can be done either as a one-step process (Hydromulching HGM) or as a two-step application (Hydromulching BFM). The latter uses the same ingredients as the former but utilises a special non-rewetting binder and applies the solution at a much higher rate.
Hydromulching provides a protective cover and a reservoir of moisture for the seeds. Thus, it already offers short-term protection against soil erosion while waiting for the seeds to grow.
The hydromulching technique also allows the seeds to germinate once it begins to rain, eliminating the need to water manually.
Moreover, our hydromulching process involves the use of microbiological soil amendments. These additional substances help in promoting soil health and in optimising germination.
All in all, hydromulching provides an efficient solution for dust suppression and soil erosion even before the vegetation has established itself. It also offers increased water and nutrient retention in the soil, thereby ensuring plant growth under optimum conditions.
If you are looking to revegetate a vast, barren piece of land quickly, you may consider hydromulching. This unique revegetation technique works for all types of terrain — whether the area is plain flat, highly sloped, or a part of a verge.
To maximise the benefits of hydromulching, our revegetation specialists will first conduct a standard soil assessment before designing the right hydromulching approach for your land.
