Erosion Control Grass Seed and Soil Supplements
The right mix, the right amendments, and cover that establishes before your inspector comes back.
The right mix, the right amendments, and cover that establishes before your inspector comes back.
Here is what nobody tells you: most failed stabilization is not a seeding problem, it is a soil problem. Construction strips the topsoil, compacts what is left, and hands you subsoil that will not grow anything. Broadcast a generic mix over that and you get thin, patchy grass, a failed inspection, and the bill to do it twice. Varsity Inc. approaches seed and supplements differently. We read the ground first, then match the mix and the amendments to what your soil actually needs. That is the difference between cover that establishes on schedule and cover that quietly dies while your deadline closes in.
Every site gets a different answer. Here is what goes into ours.
Send us your site conditions and stabilization deadline. We will build the seed and supplement program that gets you established growth the first time, not the third.
Construction site seeding is the last step in a chain, and it only works if the steps before it were done right. Varsity handles that entire chain. Your perimeter is held by filter sock, your slopes are protected by erosion control matting, and then our seed and supplements program brings the ground back to permanent cover. Because one team owns all of it, nobody is pointing fingers when grass comes in thin. We tell you plainly what your soil needs and price it fairly, and when hydroseeding is the faster route on a given slope, we say so rather than selling you the more expensive path.
Do you test the soil before seeding?
Varsity evaluates site conditions and can arrange soil testing so the amendments we apply address what your ground is actually missing.
What if the grass comes in thin after seeding?
Varsity returns to overseed and correct thin areas, addressing the soil issue behind it rather than simply throwing more seed at the problem.
Can you seed a site late in the season?
Yes. Varsity adjusts mixes and uses dormant seeding when the calendar is against you, so your ground still gets protected cover before winter.
