Hydraulic mulch

Professional hydromulch application

Hydromulch is a mixture of mulch fibers and water sprayed over bare soil with a hydroseeder. It forms a protective layer that holds soil in place, shields it from rain, and keeps moisture in the ground.

Herndon Inc. applies hydromulch on its own for temporary cover, or with seed and fertilizer as part of hydroseeding. With multiple types of hydro-mulch, we cover flat and sloped areas.
