RECLAMATION, SIMPLIFIED

When you’re dealing with tight timelines, extensive approval processes and the ever-evolving lineup of products in the reclamation industry, you need a partner with the knowledge and efficiency to help keep your projects moving forward.

We’re committed to supporting Canada’s reclamation industry.

That commitment starts with educated specialists with vast industry experience, and it ends with unmatched attention to detail. From our extensive and readily available Native Grass portfolio all the way through to multiple logistics locations, we sweat the small stuff to deliver the best product lineup and support to you.

We stock a large range of reclamation-related products because we know that when Mother Nature throws a curveball or a project goes sideways and you need a product – you need it now, not next week.

As one of Canada’s largest major seed suppliers equipped with fertilizer, chemicals, soil amendments, hydroseeding and erosion control products among many native grass seeds and mixes, BrettYoung is your last-minute request, tight-turnaround – and planning-ahead – partner to simplify reclamation.

A SIMPLIFIED PROCESS A PARTNER FOR EVERY STAGE OF YOUR RECLAMATION PROJECT

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO RECLAIM LAND, WHEN YOU NEED IT

We’re ready to jump in where you need us, whether you’re a landscape architect just starting on plans for a park, you’re a contractor looking to clean up after a heavy construction job – or you’re a property owner with a patch of lifeless dirt.

Good turnaround times are everything in an industry that’s constantly evaluated on timelines.

Just like our hydroseeders, we’re there with a simple solution for those tough-to-reach, difficult projects.

Here are just a few ways BrettYoung makes things easier when you’re dealing with erosion control onsite, or you need to confidently spec out a project with native grasses.

QUALITY SEED, EVERY TIME

In order to meet guidelines and satisfy even the toughest of standards (like those of a national park), BrettYoung has the largest privately-held and accredited seed laboratory. Our lab technicians are specially trained and certified to work with a comprehensive lineup of native species.

We know that a good, clean seed certificate, neatly laid out and easy to read, makes it easier for you to clear products with the powers that be.

Sometimes, these seed certificates come straight from the seed producers. And sometimes, we’re crafting them ourselves in our third-party lab.

In every case, we’re verifying the seed we’ve sourced, qualifying the seed certificates, and ensuring we can stand by the product before passing it on to you.

We stock the seeds, materials and equipment to get the reclamation job done on time, every time.

With an active and educated sales team and an efficient logistics model, we’re often able to assist with even those last-minute requests on a tight turnaround.

While we’d love to be involved when you’re setting up the seed specifications for a project, we know that sometimes, you’re calling us when a problem has already occurred, and we’re there for that, too.

When you’re stumped on a project, we’re also there to kick up some dirt, chat about the problem together, and come up with the best recipe or solution for your site.

NOT JUST “THE SEED GUYS”

Even though we pride ourselves on having the best seed, we’ve got a number of erosion control-related products, fertilizers, chemicals and hydroseeding products to cover the range of demands for a reclamation project.

Whether it’s a turf reinforcement mat for areas with extreme water flow, the latest alternative to plastic netting or the hydroseeding products you need for a finicky, hard-to-reach slope, we’re equipped for it.

We’re here to make sure you get what you need and understand what you’re getting, and we’ll even meet you onsite to make sure your equipment is up and running properly.

If there’s a way to simplify your reclamation, we do it.

SEED At BrettYoung, our native seed experts know the business inside and out, and we have the quality control to ensure that our products are the cleanest – and best.

Since native grass species are the most important piece of the puzzle when reclaiming areas damaged during the construction of roads, golf courses, parks, mines and energy projects, we treat it as such.

We start by being very particular — we only purchase the cleanest certified seed that is third-party verified. We also own Canada’s largest privately-held seed laboratory, where our lab technicians are specifically trained and certified to work with our extensive and unique native species product lineup.

We can also easily provide the seed certificates you need to push a product through the approval process to the finish line.

EROSION CONTROL There are a lot of variables that make each erosion control situation unique.

At BrettYoung, we have solutions for every erosion control issue under the sun.

2020 EROSION CONTROL

We offer a complete lineup of hydraulically-applied erosion control products, erosion control blankets and accessories that are engineered to excel under even the most extreme conditions.

Sprayable or hydraulically-applied products are growing in popularity – and with this comes a number of efficiencies thanks to busy R+D departments. There are more choices available, and the application equipment is not only getting quieter and safer, but it’s also quicker and more efficient.

That means less product is needed to complete a job.

Blankets and turf reinforcement mats, typically used for anchoring and enhancing vegetation on slopes and in channels where water flows, are evolving too. Today’s designs enable better airflow, and the mats are even finding their way into unique uses like reinforcing greens on golf courses. It’s a popular way to protect surfaces while letting air in.

Sustainability in our industry is constantly progressing.

You’re seeing it in the erosion control market as more people move away from products and accessories that contain plastic and look to use natural, biodegradable materials like hemp, coconut fibres and straw. Look no further than the cotton netting replacing plastic netting, or the wood and biodegradable corn starch stakes/staples making their appearance.

FERTILIZER In reclamation, fertilizer is all about playing the long game. Often, you are “setting and forgetting” a project on a site, so you need a slowreleasing fertilizer to help maintain healthy soil, especially for slow-toestablish plants like native grasses.

2020 FERTILIZER

Fertilizers can help address a number of challenges unique to reclamation: • Slow establishment of native grasses: Combat this with a slow-release fertilizer, or even better, an organic fertilizer that stays biologically active in the soil.

• Poor soil conditions: Low organic matter or high salt content makes plant establishment very difficult. Look for products with availability and the ability to thrive in salt.

Products like TurfRx K+ Micro Crystal and Dakota Rev are great options under this environment.

• Projects are often “one and done”: In most cases, once you’ve completed a reclamation project, you leave the site with no plans to return. So, an organic fertilizer that can slowly release over time is a great tool for unsupervised projects. Our motto? Feed the soil versus the plant to win in reclamation.
