Downes | Erosion Control

Hydroseeding

Downes Tree Service, Inc. specializes in hydroseeding for commercial properties and larger residential properties. Our resume includes 32 acres for Wellsville Municipal Airport as well as several restoration projects along steep gradients.

Hydro seeding is one of the most effective ways to stabilize a surface as well as a proven way to prevent erosion along slopes. This process involves mixing seed, fertilizer, mulch and water into a tank and spraying onto prepared areas. The mulch adheres to the soil and prevents the seed and fertilizer from being washed away. In addition the mulch reduces the amount of moisture evaporated from the soil. Call or e-mail Downes today to schedule a free estimate for any of your erosion control needs.
