22-112 Five Year Stabilization

Long-Term Erosion Control That Holds the Line

Built for Years, Not Months

From early establishment through long-term maturity, this blend works as a system rather than a single solution. Fast-establishing grasses secure the soil surface early, while longer-lived species build root mass that strengthens the site season after season.

Together, the mix delivers:

• Dense vegetative cover that resists wind, rain, and runoff across exposed ground
• Deep and fibrous root systems that reinforce soil structure and limit erosion over time
• Reliable performance through freeze thaw cycles, heavy rainfall, and extended exposure
• Reduced maintenance demands compared to short-term stabilization options

As the stand matures, roots and residue work together to build organic matter, open soil structure, and improve water infiltration, turning compacted ground into a manageable, stable foundation for future work or permanent cover.

What Goes Into the Ground Matters

This mix combines proven grasses and legumes selected for durability, coverage, and soil performance over a multi-year window. Each species plays a role in keeping the site stable and productive. The blend includes:

• Perennial ryegrass and smooth brome for fast cover and surface stability
• Slender wheatgrass and big bluestem to extend root depth and reinforce soil
• Alfalfa, red clover, and alsike clover to support soil fertility and nitrogen cycling
• American vetch to add diversity and strengthen overall stand performance

At a seeding rate of 40 pounds per acre, the mix develops into a dense, well-structured stand that locks down soil without becoming brittle, maintaining reliable coverage and performance as seasons change and sites evolve.

Straightforward Installation, Predictable Results

This stabilization mix is designed to work with standard equipment and common field practices. Drill into prepared seedbeds for consistent establishment or broadcast with proper soil contact on larger or harder-to-access areas. Once established, the stand requires minimal intervention to maintain coverage and performance.

This mix stays in place season after season, reducing the need for return seeding, holding performance steady through long construction timelines, and minimizing erosion failures that trigger inspections, delays, and corrective work for owners and project teams.

Where It Performs Best

Approved for statewide use, 22-112 Five Year Stabilization provides long-term soil protection and consistent performance across demanding sites:

• Highway Corridors and Transportation Projects: Forms a resilient cover that holds soil through traffic, seasonal weather, and runoff events, reducing the need for rework and reseeding.
• Long Slopes and Embankments: Anchors soil on steep gradients, minimizing erosion and maintaining slope integrity without compromising access or construction schedules.
• Large Construction and Earthwork Sites: Scales easily to extensive disturbed areas, delivering uniform coverage and stable soil for multiple seasons while cutting maintenance demands.
• Areas Awaiting Future Development or Permanent Planting: Establishes a reliable, enduring stand that supports future landscaping, turf, or planting phases, improving water infiltration and organic matter over time.

With 22-112 in place, contractors gain efficiency, engineers trust consistent performance, and owners or investors see fewer delays, reduced compliance concerns, and stronger long-term site outcomes.

Stabilization That Earns Its Keep

Exceeding basic erosion control, 22-112 Five Year Stabilization locks soil in place while keeping projects on schedule, reducing risk, and laying the foundation for future work. Designed for long-term performance, it builds a dense, resilient stand that strengthens soil, improves water management, and delivers the reliability contractors, engineers, and owners demand. When stability matters for years rather than months, 22-112 brings coverage, durability, and confidence together in a single, proven solution.
