Heudrusch®- and Hay-Mulch Methods

Apart from erosion control, establishing vegetation applying Heudrusch®- and hay-mulch procedures aims at establishing ecologically precious phythocenoses of regional sources. Moreover, these seeding procedures have also proved functionally especially effective and meanwhile have become indispensible for ensuring and protecting the genetical diversity by transferring local species and phythocenoses as well as geographical and locally founded species and subspecies. A prerequisite for this is the thorough selection of appropriate donor areas, which are ecologically as precious as possible. Particularly with controversial construction projects, the application of these procedures contributes a lot to achieve larger acceptance in the public.

Innovative Site Reclamation with Regional Seeds

Only autochthonous or regional seed from the natural surroundings of your construction project is optimally adjusted to the specific site conditions. As it usually origins from high-quality phytocenoses rich in species, it generates an especially dense and powerful root system. This ensures optimal erosion control, which could be confirmed by the latest scientific studies in Germany and the Netherlands.

Ecologically and Economically Sound

Seeds coming from the Hay-mulch and the Heudrusch®-method are directly applied on raw soils; no cost-intensive topsoil cover is required. The addition of fertilizers, soil conditioners and mulch can be strongly reduced or is not at all necessary; irrigation and later fertilization are not required. The low biomass generation results in a partly noticeably lower expense in maintenance. Establishing vegetation with these procedures can be realized even during the progress of the construction work. The mainly medium and long-term saving of expenses with these procedures associates with the overwhelming ecological and functional advantages and makes these procedures the number one choice.

Heudrusch®- and Hay-Mulch Procedures - Establishing Vegetation with Seeds from the Region

With the Heudrusch® - and hay-mulch procedure recu-systems offers a method for an effective establishment of vegetation with regional (autochthone) seeds, which avoids the danger of tampering the regional flora.

Our Services for You

Our service package comprises the complete realization of the project from consultation as well as accompanying and executing project planning concerning landscape conservation to realization and maintenance. If desired, we also carry out floristic collateral studies. Together with our planning partners, we coordinate the seeding process with the responsible planning agencies, and according to that, develop a maintenance and development schedule. This, of course, includes the search for, selection and securing of appropriate donor areas, considering regional requirements as well as harvesting and preparation of the hay-mulch and Heudrusch® components. Your ecologically innovative reclamation project is in good hands with us!
