Erosion Control
Erosion Solutions International Pty Ltd (ESI) is a member of the Jimboomba Turf Group and was established in 1993 when the management of Jimboomba Turf Group recognised the need for an organisation to provide cost effective green solutions to erosion and soil loss. ESI is a market leader in development of reinforced turf products, such as the revolutionary STAYturf. The company also offers a complete range of associated products and services.
ESI has carried out several major rehabilitation projects in areas where construction, mining, or erosion have necessitated rehabilitation and the restoration of vegetation. ESI has a range of cost effective green solutions.

Hydromulching
A specially blended mixture of mulch, seed, fertiliser, binders, and water that can be sprayed onto bare ground including steep batters to establish permanent vegetation. Mixtures and application rates are varied to suit each individual site. Mixtures can include grasses or native trees and shrubs.

Hydroseeding
Using the same machinery as used for hydromulching, a mixture of water, seed, fertiliser, and binders (no mulch) is sprayed onto a seedbed. This process is usually followed with the application of mulch.

Seeding
Including scarification, soil amendments and seed mixes for all situations. Tractor mounted equipment is used to prepare the seedbed before the seed and fertiliser is spread. ESI can also provide the additional service of stick raking and rolling of the area to be seeded.
Mulching
ESI has developed a unique method of spreading timber mulch, which has been produced as a result of tub grinding after tree clearing. This process allows for reuse of the wood mulch on site. It can not only save money by not having to re-handle the mulch, but also reduces soil erosion and dust on site.
Soil Amendment
Bulk spreading of organic mulches and bio fertilisers to assist in erosion control and the establishment of vegetation. ESI has the machinery and the expertise to spread and incorporate all types of soil amendments. Lime, Gypsum, Organic fertilisers and trace elements can be applied and incorporated using our unique range of equipment.
Erosion Control Matting
We have a range of natural products which can be used for both vegetation enhancement and suppression. ESI also offers a complete installation service.

Silt Fencing
ESI supplies and installs only high quality silt fence fabrics that have been specially designed to reduce soil sediment and run off.
Remediation
For degraded or eroded areas we offer a complete remediation and revegetation service. This service covers all aspects of the remediation process including soil testing, plant identification, soil amendment, erosion control, sediment control, re-vegetation, and maintenance.
We are developing several types of dry mulch/seeding methods to reduce erosion, improve germination and reduce watering. The process involves spreading a mixture of mulch and other bio solids over seeded areas.
