The Problems Start Below the Surface

Most of what holds erosion control turf back is a soil problem: structure, water, and biology. Build the soil and the rest follows.

  • Failed seed and sod establishment
  • Costly repairs and reseeding
  • Poor or depleted topsoil
  • Tightening environmental standards
  • Stormwater and runoff requirements
  • No irrigation on site

Site prep

  • Topsoil replacement and remediation
  • Remediating poor or depleted soils
  • Soil amending

Establishment

  • Hydroseeding and hydraulic biotic soil (HBS) applications
  • Temporary and permanent seeding
  • Sodding
  • Planting soils and mixes

Specification

  • Engineer specifications
  • Rates by soil organic matter
  • Design and installation support

Application rates

Erosion Control Programs

Topsoil replacement + remediation

ProductUseRateFrequency
CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer Supplement 3,000 lbs. per acre (75 bags or 3 supersacks) At installation
CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer Standard 5,000 lbs. per acre (125 bags or 5 supersacks) At installation
CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer Remediation 10,000 lbs. per acre (10 supersacks) At installation

A 1-yard supersack weighs about 1,000 lbs. Incorporate into the soil.

Soil amending + sodding

ProductUseRateFrequency
CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer Supplement 800 lbs. per acre (20 bags) At installation
CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer Standard 1,600 lbs. per acre (40 bags) At installation
CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer Premium (soil amending) 3,200–5,000 lbs. per acre (80–125 bags) At installation
CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer Premium (sodding) 3,200 lbs. per acre (80 bags) At installation

Incorporate into the soil before seeding or laying sod.

Hydroseeding + hydraulic biotic soil

ProductUseRateFrequency
CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer Good: soils above 3% organic matter 800 lbs. per acre In slurry
CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer Better: soils with 1.5–3% organic matter 1,600 lbs. per acre In slurry
CarbonizPN Soil Enhancer Best: soils below 1.5% organic matter 3,200 lbs. per acre In slurry
ByoSpxtrum™ Recommended add-on: beneficial microbes 3.4 oz. per acre In slurry

Choose the CarbonizPN rate from your soil test, then combine with your usual HECP, lime, fertilizer, and seed at project rates. Mix at least 250 lbs. of wood mulch with 800 lbs. of CarbonizPN per 1,000 gallons of water: add the mulch first, then add CarbonizPN once the tank is ¾ full. Works for temporary and permanent seeding.

Planting soils + mixes

“We are a beach community with extremely sandy soils and have always had issues keeping enough nutrients to help the plants and vegetation stay lush. These are very harsh environments for growing without extensive irrigation. We tried Mirimichi Green products in areas where no irrigation exists and grasses must be moved on a regular basis. It was always questionable if those areas would survive the summer months. After using the carbon-based products along the roadways, the results were incredible and instantly noticeable. The treated areas looked good, if not better than some of the areas that are regularly maintained and had irrigation. In addition, we treated old oak trees that were on the verge of dying. We soon saw massive new growth (even on limbs we would normally prune) and bright green leaves. We are now using several products in new plantings around the island.”

FAQ

Questions From Erosion Control Pros

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Call (910) 602-1681 or browse all FAQs.

Do you provide engineer specifications?

Yes. We offer a full complement of engineer specifications to assist with design and installation. Contact us with your project details.

Can CarbonizPN go in a hydroseed slurry?

Yes. Use 800 lbs. per acre on soils above 3% organic matter, 1,600 lbs. at 1.5–3%, and 3,200 lbs. below 1.5%. Mix with at least 250 lbs. of wood mulch per 1,000 gallons, and add ByoSpxtrum at 3.4 oz. per acre for extra soil biology.

What is a hydraulic biotic soil application?

It is a hydroseeding approach that puts organic matter and soil biology into the slurry, so seed germinates in an improved growing layer instead of on bare or depleted subsoil. Add CarbonizPN at 800–3,200 lbs. per acre based on soil organic matter, plus ByoSpxtrum at 3.4 oz. per acre, alongside your usual HECP, lime, fertilizer, and seed.

Does it reduce the need for fertilizer?

Yes. CarbonizPN holds nutrients in the root zone and feeds soil biology, which releases nutrients gradually as vegetation establishes. Most projects can cut synthetic fertilizer and chemical inputs; follow your project specification for starter fertilizer.

Which soils does it work in?

All soil types, from sandy to heavy clay. Rates scale with soil organic matter: the lower the organic matter, the higher the rate. CarbonizPN also helps moderate soil pH.

Does it work where there’s no irrigation?

Customers have seen strong establishment in non-irrigated roadside areas, where treated turf looked as good as, or better than, irrigated areas.

How do I order large quantities?

Supersack pallets (about 2,000 lbs. each) can be ordered online with instant freight quotes, or through our team for truckload volumes.

Where can I buy it?

From 1,400+ distributor branches nationwide (best for most pros), online in small quantities, or by the supersack pallet with freight quoted to your site.
