Grading for solar fields or pipelines strips away the natural topsoil horizons. What remains is a substrate that lacks the organic matter and biological activity needed to support sustainable vegetation and meet compliance goals. While importing traditional topsoil is a good choice to restore soil biology, it requires expensive truckloads and heavy machinery that can disturb the site, leading to delays that affect your project timeline.
Biotic Soil Amendments (BSAs) offer an economical alternative to topsoil or compost, helping to prevent unnecessary procurement delays and keeping your crews working. At Bedrock Environmental, we secure full-truckload shipments of BSAs nationwide.
Key Benefits
BSAs are cost-effective alternatives to topsoil and are hydraulically applied to revive depleted, low-quality soils. They support your jobsite by helping to:
As engineered organic growth mixtures, BSAs are typically compatible with approved hydraulic application equipment. They may be used together with erosion control blankets (ECBs) as a two-stage system on severely depleted, degraded, or nutrient-deficient soils, including cut-and-fill slopes. They can also be paired with hydraulic mulches or other erosion control products when the specified system requires additional surface protection.
Apply BSAs with approved hydraulic equipment to help minimize the need for unfamiliar application methods. Hydraulic biotic soil amendments (HBSAs) can be applied through approved hydroseeding equipment, and crews may be able to apply organic media, seed, and fertilizer together when product and equipment guidance allow.
Because each site presents unique challenges, application rates vary widely. Depending on the product, soil conditions, slope severity, and project specifications, BSA application rates may range from standard manufacturer-recommended rates to heavier applications for highly deficient soils. Conduct a comprehensive soil test prior to application to determine the site’s agronomic needs and appropriate product volume.
