Blower Trucks
Our Blower Truck technology revolutionizes material installation for soils, mulches, playground surfaces, and granular products. This innovative method ensures clean, efficient, and precise delivery up to 90 meters or 12 floors high. By eliminating stockpiling and manual handling, we reduce waste and contamination risks while maximizing project efficiency.
Engineered Soils
We produce third-party tested engineered soils tailored for urban planting, bioretention systems, and structural support for large trees. Our blends meet municipal standards like the City of Toronto's Type 1, 2, and 3 specifications. These soils optimize drainage, nutrient retention, and root development for sustainable landscaping projects.
Playground Surfaces
Our IPEMA-certified PlaySafe Engineered Wood Fibre provides a safe, accessible playground surface. Made from 100% virgin wood, this material offers excellent impact attenuation and drainage. It installs cleanly using Blower Trucks to maintain product integrity and meets strict safety standards for fall height protection.
Terraseeding
Terraseeding combines calibrated seed application with our proprietary BioEarth growing medium for effective revegetation. This method supports custom seed mixes tailored to site-specific conditions. It's ideal for erosion control, slope stabilization, and establishing vegetation in challenging environments with minimal soil disturbance.
Green Roof Mixes
We supply HRT Extensive and Intensive Green Roof Mixes designed to meet green roof construction standards. These lightweight, nutrient-rich soils support plant growth while ensuring proper drainage and load management. Our Blower Trucks enable efficient installation on multi-level buildings, promoting urban sustainability through rooftop vegetation.
