Broadcast Seeding Services
Quick, Uniform Seeding for Slope Stabilization & Site Reclamation
Keystone Civil Ltd. delivers efficient, high-coverage broadcast seeding solutions across Alberta. Ideal for erosion control, land reclamation, and revegetation, our approach ensures reliable ground cover even on uneven or hard-to-access terrain.
What Is Broadcast Seeding?
A Fast, Effective Method for Ground Cover and Vegetation
Broadcast seeding involves spreading grass or native seed evenly over a surface using mechanical spreaders or hand tools. It’s a widely used method for revegetating disturbed areas, preventing erosion, and preparing land for environmental recovery.
High-Coverage, Low-Disturbance
Broadcast seeding covers large areas without needing extensive ground disruption—ideal for slopes, ditches, and sensitive environments.
Flexible for Any Terrain
Whether flat, steep, or remote, broadcast seeding adapts to a wide range of topographies and soil conditions.
Where Broadcast Seeding Works
Proven in Reclamation, Infrastructure, and Environmental Projects
Broadcast seeding plays a critical role in Alberta’s infrastructure and environmental sectors. Here’s where it delivers results:
Erosion Control on Slopes
Stabilize banks and slopes after grading or excavation with fast-establishing vegetation that protects against runoff.
Pipeline Right-of-Way Reclamation
Revegetate disturbed pipeline corridors quickly and efficiently while meeting environmental compliance.
Municipal Drainage & Roadside Projects
Establish cover on ditches, culverts, and embankments along municipal roads and infrastructure.
Oilfield & Industrial Land Reclamation
Restore oilfield leases and industrial sites to a natural or compliant vegetative state.
How We Work
Our Step-by-Step Approach to Broadcast Seeding
Site Evaluation
We assess soil conditions, slope, vegetation requirements, and environmental factors to choose the right seed and technique.
Surface Prep
We lightly grade or scarify surfaces if needed to ensure seed-to-soil contact for better germination.
Seeding Application
Using spreaders or hydroseeders, we evenly distribute seed across the target area for maximum coverage.
Post-Seeding Protection
We may apply mulch, erosion control blankets, or tackifiers to protect the seeded area and encourage healthy growth.
