Roadside Revegetation Project
Highway Roadside Revegetation, SA
The challenge
This South Australian project involved two separate sites, both of which measured approximately 3m from road verge to the edge of site markers, or any bare/exposed soil. The first site area was ~2500sqm of >1:1.5 slope and the second was 6500sqm of 1:1 slope, and the client was looking to grow grass on disturbed soil.
The solution
The applications took place in December 2023, and the Contractor FastGrass applied the solution.
At Site 1, in order to stabilise and bind the soil. Ryecorn and Pro Roadside seed blend was then added to this product and applied to the soil surface.
An application of HGM hydromulch with a tackifier was applied at a rate of 3000kg per hectare, binding the soil together and providing a growth medium for the germinating seeds.
At Site 2, The same process as above was used , with the same seed blend. This provided a growth medium and soil stabilisation on the prepared soil.
In terms of follow-up maintenance, both sites needed to be irrigated for effective germination of the applied seeds. For effective germination, we recommend 1-3 applications per day (depending on environmental conditions) for the first 2 weeks after application, at a rate of 5-6L per square metre per day.
