PNEUMATIC SEEDING: (Terraseeding ®™)



Traditionally, revegetation ground reclamation work starts by properly preparing the area to be revegetated. Using topsoil from the site is best for revegetation if it was properly removed and stored onsite prior to construction.
Unfortunately, more often than not there is little to no salvageable topsoil available onsite due to the topsoil not being removed and stored properly, so it has intermixed with subsoils due to the construction activities. Therefore, revegetation takes place on marginal topsoil/subsoil providing negligeable results if any, unless topsoil is brought in.
Pneumatic seeding (Terraseeding) is a modern, innovative technique for planting seeds by injecting them into compost, topsoil, or other growing media rather than simply spreading them on the surface. This method ensures better seed-to-soil contact, protecting seeds from being washed away by rain, blown by wind, or eaten by animals. It is widely used for lawns, golf courses, athletic fields, landscaping, and large-scale construction or restoration projects.
Typically, PNEUMATIC SEEDING (Terraseeding ®™) involves the following steps:
-
Site Preparation: The area is graded, well-draining and ready for the PNEUMATIC SEEDING (Terraseeding ®™) application
-
A Compost/Soil layer and Seed using specialized blower trucks or equipment is evenly applied over the area. The compost or soil mixture provides nutrients, retains moisture, and creates a protective environment for seeds, leading to faster and more consistent growth because PNEUMATIC SEEDING (Terraseeding ®™) injects the seeds directly into the growing medium stream, improving root development and long-term vegetation health.
Benefits of PNEUMATIC SEEDING (Terraseeding ®™):
-
Enhanced Soil Health: Adds organic matter and nutrients, improving soil structure and fertility.
-
Erosion Control: Ideal for slopes, berms, and unstable terrain, as seeds are embedded and protected.
-
Rapid Growth: Grass or plants often begin to sprout within days, with visible results in one to two weeks.
-
Reduced Maintenance: Fewer applications and less risk of seed loss compared to traditional seeding methods.
-
Versatility: Suitable for challenging terrains, environmentally sensitive areas, and both residential and commercial projects.
