Te Awa Subdivision

A newly developed subdivision presented significant erosion risks due to extensive areas of exposed soil. Without effective ground stabilization and revegetation, the site faced challenges such as soil loss, dust, sediment runoff into stormwater systems, and difficulty in establishing long-term vegetation cover. The developer required an environmentally sound and cost-effective solution to quickly stabilize the area and promote healthy plant growth.

• 30,000 m²

• Stabilize exposed soil surfaces, prevent erosion, and establish a sustainable vegetative cover across the site.

Stabi-Mulch 

​

• With New Zealand wooden fibre and Site Loc Polymer.

• Application rate 2,500kg/ha.

• To provide stabilisation while the grass germinated and vegetation succession underway.

• There were no challenges on this site.

• Exposed soils were protected immediately after application, reducing dust and erosion risk.

• Within weeks, visible germination and coverage were achieved, with strong establishment over the following months.

• Significantly reduced sediment runoff into stormwater systems.

• The use of hydro mulch provided both short-term stabilization and long-term revegetation, eliminating the need for more costly erosion control methods.
