Seed

Granite Seed carries over 600 species of native and site-adapted grasses, shrubs, wildflowers, turfgrass, and cover crops. No other seed company carries the breadth and depth of inventory as Granite Seed. 

The process of planting seeds to rehabilitate land is one of the most effective ways to restore habitats. The right combination of native and introduced seed helps support a healthy regrowth cycle and protects against erosion, natural infiltration, and turbidity, even in the most harsh environments.

Seeding can also be an excellent tool for conservation, which is ideal in larger landscape  environments and at-risk areas. Reintroducing seeds and planting aids into poor soil environments can help bring a once-dying ecosystem back to life.

Erosion Control

Although erosion is a naturally-occurring process, it can be extremely damaging to the environment. Fortunately, Granite Seed carries a variety of erosion control products, including:

  • Erosion control blankets cover fragile soil and protect from further damage, such as runoff, erosion, and degradation. These products are most useful in areas with ever-changing weather patterns and mountainous regions. 
  • Mulch helps contribute to the soil’s natural growth and stabilization by slowing down weed growth, reducing runoff (which is a combination of sediment and water), and preserving the moisture within the soil. 
  • Wattles are long, low-lying straw tubes that act as a blockage device. Wattles are usually installed in high-risk areas for erosion or near construction sites to prevent excess runoff into water sources and other at-risk areas.

refer to the chemical compounds formed in adhesives that are intended to increase the stickiness of a given surface. In this context, tackifiers are an excellent way of keeping soil, straw, or mulch in place. Tackifiers can also be used to control dust and soil erosion, making them well-suited for revegetation and restoration projects.

Planting Aids

Planting aids assist seeding efforts by supporting natural health and growth. Granite Seed’s planting aid inventory includes:

  • Fertilizers are designed to optimize the potential for successful seeding efforts. High-quality fertilizers primarily serve to increase the fertility of soil. Granite Seed carries a variety of high quality commercial grade fertilizer products designed to meet the most demanding applications.
  • Rice hulls often play an important role as part of a larger seeding and erosion control strategy. These products are installed to improve drainage, water-holding capacity, and natural aeration. Rice hulls also help prevent erosion by holding moisture in barren lands. 
  • QuickGuard is a cool season, drought tolerant annual cereal grain used as a cover crop, but is non-reseeding and does not persist in subsequent years. It is ideal for short-term soil stabilization on non-agricultural erosion control projects in semi-arid regions in the western United States.
  • Mycorrhizal inoculum is a fungus that is a necessary component of a functioning ecosystem. When installed, the fungi attach themselves to plant roots and are beneficial to plant establishment and persistence against disease. Introducing mycorrhizal into your soil will help stimulate the environment such that plants can bloom successfully. 

Biotic soil media is a blanket term given to any manufactured or engineered soil that contains recycled biodegradable fibers and other nutritive additives. Biotic soil media
