Blower Truck Installations
Our blower truck technology revolutionizes landscape material installation by enabling efficient delivery of soils, mulches, and playground surfaces up to 300 feet or 12 floors high. This method eliminates site damage while ensuring precise placement of materials like BioEarth, EnviroBlend, and HRT mixes. Ideal for green roofs, urban planters, and large-scale landscaping projects.
Terraseeding
Terraseeding combines calibrated seed application with BioEarth growing medium to create customized vegetation solutions. Our system allows precise matching of seed mixes to project requirements while maintaining soil integrity. This method is particularly effective for slope stabilization and large-area revegetation projects requiring erosion control.
Engineered Soils
We produce third-party tested engineered soils including City of Toronto Type 1-3 mixes, bioretention media, and structural soils. These specialized blends optimize plant growth in urban environments while meeting municipal specifications. Applications include tree planting, stormwater management systems, and high-rise planters.
Playground Surfaces
Our IPEMA-certified PlaySafe Engineered Wood Fibre provides a safe, accessible playground surface with excellent impact attenuation. Made from sustainable forestry byproducts, this material knits together to create a stable surface that meets fall height requirements. Available for bulk delivery or installation by blower truck.
Green Roof Mixes
HRT Extensive and Intensive Mixes are formulated to meet green roof construction standards while balancing weight considerations and plant requirements. These lightweight, durable mixes support vegetation growth on rooftops and terraces, with installation capabilities up to the 12th floor using our specialized blower truck fleet.
