This is a site reinstatement method of replanting and rebuilding the soil of disturbed land. Depending on the environmental site condition, this may be a natural process produced by plant colonization and succession, or an artificial (manmade), accelerated process designed to repair damage to a landscape due to construction, civil engineering earthworks, mining, fire, flood or other cause.
Areas to be re-vegetated, usually gentle slope and accessible, are prepared using hand tools and tractor drawn implements to ensure the soil conditions are suitable to support vegetation cover. The seeds are either hand sawn or broadcast depending on the recommended method by our technical specialists.
The motivations behind revegetation are diverse, answering needs that are both technical and aesthetic, but it is usually erosion prevention that is the primary reason. Revegetation helps prevent soil erosion, enhances the ability of the soil to absorb more water in significant rain events, and in conjunction reduces turbidity dramatically in adjoining bodies of water. Revegetation also aids protection of engineered grades and other earthworks.
