We based our Hancock's Erosion Control Seed Mix was developed from department of transportation recommendations, as well as years of farming, grassing and seeding experience. This erosion seed mixture is ideal for seeding roadsides, vacant lots, high-grade slopes, new construction zones, and all other erosion-prone areas. Hancock's Erosion Control seed mixture has proven to effectively control topsoil, stormwater sediment, and dust erosion by the rapid establishment of natural vegetation.

Our spring and summer Erosion Control grass seed mixture contains 33% Common Un-Hulled Bermuda , 33% Pensacola Bahiagrass and 34% Browntop Millet. The Pensacola Bahiagrass and Common Bermudagrass will interweave with one another, providing the permanent erosion-control vegetation. Pensacola Bahiagrass is a bunch grass, spreading by root stolens under the soil, and the Common Bermuda spreads by surface runners. The two grass varieties coexist very well in most any soil condition. The fast-germinating Browntop Millet will germinate in 2 to 4 days, with proper soil moisture. The Browntop Millet will prevent soil and seed erosion while effectively providing an adequate germination environment for the permanent grass varieties.

Our Fall & Winter Erosion Control seed mixture contains 33% Common Un-Hulled Bermuda , 33% Pensacola Bahiagrass, and 34% Annual Ryegrass. The added Annual Ryegrass will provide an effective fall and winter erosion control. The Annual Rye grass will begin to die. As the Annual Rye grass begins to die as the nighttime spring temperatures increase to 65-70 degrees. The root structure of the Annual Rye will provide soil and seed erosion prevention. The existing root structure of the Annual Rye will provide the ideal germination environment for the Pensacola Bahiagrass and the Common Bermuda.
