ALL ONTARIO has been providing our clients with quality services to help ensure success of their Hydroseeding, Erosion Control and land Reclamation projects. As the industry evolves, so have we. We welcome any inquiries and are more than willing to discuss your requirements and recommend services suited to your project’s needs.

HYDROSEEDING:     Is an application of a water-based slurry mixture of seed, mulch, fertilizer, and other additives which are simultaneously applied under pressure over PREPARED SOIL for establishing lawns, ground covers and vegetation after construction.

 

  • Hydroseeding can be use just about any place where the ground has been disturbed. Virtually any plant that can be grown from seed can be hydroseeded.

 

  • No longer do you need a relatively large area for, hydroseeding to be cost effective option. Our fleet of hydroseeding systems gives us the ability to offer hydroseed services for areas as small as 76M2 (820F2) and for areas with limited accessibility.

ENGINEERD SOIL MEDIUMS:     Hydroseeding with engineered soil mediums is newest innovation for ground reclamation.

Traditionally, ground reclamation work starts by properly preparing the soil or seedbed. Using onsite topsoil is best, but more often than not there is little or no salvageable topsoil available because topsoil and subsoils have intermixed. Therefore, the requirement to import topsoil is considered necessary before it can take place.

Is there a more logical solution? The answer is “YES”, Engineered Soil Mediums!

 

Both topsoil and subsoils have 95% of the same components but after construction the topsoil and subsoils have intermixed depleting the available organic matter needed to establish and sustain the new lawn, ground cover or vegetation. Therefore, when topsoil is brought in, we are bringing in 95% of the material we already have onsite only to gain the 5% organic material needed. Never mind the substantial time, effort and cost associated with the hauling and spreading. In addition there is a potential risk for the introduction of weed seeds, pathogens, pesticides and even heavy metals.

 

Engineered Soil Mediums are a biotic soil amendment, designed just for the purpose of providing the correct organic material needed to kick start the building of new topsoil from the existing onsite topsoil and subsoil. No longer do you need to have large areas to make soil media hydroseeding cost effective alternative to transporting in new top soil as we can hydroseed areas as small as 1584 square feet (147 M2)

WHY IMPORT TOPSOIL AFTER CONSTURCTION IF THE ONLY SOIL COMPONENT MISSING IS ORGANIC MATTER?

Erosion & Sediment Control:  Erosion & Sediment Control are techniques designed to protect an exposed soil surface while preventing or reducing the release of sediment into environmentally sensitive areas and promoting re-vegetation as soon as possible. This includes reducing soil erosion caused by rain, water and wind, or protecting waterways from the inevitable build-up of silt, sediment or debris from nearby construction sites.

 

Erosion & Sediment Control are divided into one of three categories. Hydraulically Applied Erosion Control (HYDROSEEDING), Rolled Erosion Control Products and Vegetated Wall Systems. ​Hydraulically Applied Erosion Control is quicker, safer and more cost effective than installing Rolled Erosion Control Products or Vegetated Wall Systems.

 

  • Controlling and/or preventing the effects erosion from wind or water in, land development is an essential part of construction and land reclamation process. Effective erosion control can manage surface runoff and prevent soil loss, loss of wildlife habitat, property damage and water pollution.

SODDING:           Is an installation process of using pre grown rolls of grass to establish a lawn immediately and to avoid soil erosion in commercial and residential construction. It is primarily used as a quicker alternative to re-growing a lawn from seed and assisting in flood prevention by draining water. Sod is usually fully functional within 30 days of installation forming a visually appealing lawn. However additional time is required before it is robust enough for use. During this period sod requires extensive watering for its root system to anchor. Sod can also be used to repair a small area of lawn, that has died as a quicker alternative to re-growing a lawn from seed. Sod is also effective in increasing cooling, improving air and water quality, and assisting in flood prevention by draining water.

GROUND (SEEDBED) PREPARATION:     It doesn’t matter if you’re laying sod, hydroseeding, or dry seeding, the ground preparation is exactly the same. The secret to creating a beautiful lawn is thorough proper ground (seedbed) preparation and not preparing the ground correctly is one of the most common, costly, and major mistakes. There is a distinct disadvantage in NOT preparing the ground properly prior to planting, so NEVER UNDERESTIMATE the true value of good and proper ground preparation. Sod and most seeds require a fine textured, loose soil surface for the small roots to penetrate and take hold.

Soil type, and quality have the greatest influence on the germination, establishment and sustainability potential of whatever is being planted. We highly recommend doing a soil test before starting any project to determine and ensure the soil has all nutrients necessary to support germination, establishment, and sustainability. A soil test will provide recommendations and nutrient requirements for good root growth. Crop Science Services - SGS . CLICK HERE FOR A SOIL TEST FORM

CONSULTING:   Planning any type of land reclamation project can be an overwhelming and/or daunting task regardless the process you are considering. This task should not be left to individuals or companies who do not understand all of the consequences associated with the entire project.

Our consultation will provide you with invaluable advice as to the best way to go ahead with your project and save you from making costly mistakes. Should you decide to have All Ontario supply a consultation for your project. We will advise you as the best way to proceed with your project and provide an estimate for ALL ONTARIO doing the recommended work within the allotted time frame. Should you choose to have All Ontario provide the estimated work within the allotted time frame. All Ontario will credit a portion of the consultation fee against your project’s invoice.

 

ALL ONTARIO has been providing knowledgeable advice, services, and products to ensure a successful project.
