Hydro-Grow offers over 30 years of experience!  Paul Olsen is the President and CEO
and he has worked in the fields of landscape and erosion control since the early 1980's
throughout the entire state of California.  

Hydro-Grow provides the installation and maintenance of erosion control methods. Its core service
is a 1 to 3-step process which may entail the application of a seeded hydro-mulch slurry along with
a layer of straw which is blown onto the surface. Other services offered include Bonded Fiber
Matrix and the installation and maintenance of straw wattles, fiber mats, and sandbags.

The demand for erosion control services is growing as federal, state and local governmental
agencies realize the importance of reducing sedimentation in water ways and attempt to achieve this
through the careful implementation of erosion control technologies where appropriate. Services
provided by Hydro-Grow are typically demanded by general contractors and home builders
seeking to comply with federal regulation which mandates using Best Management Practices
(BMP's) to reduce sediment runoff whenever possible.

Federal law under a program entitled the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP)
requires the application of a permit entitled the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) general permit in order to continue construction activities of 1 (one) acre or more. The
law also provides that before construction begins on a land, that proper erosion control methods be
in place and/or ready for implementation before soil is disturbed. This mandate fluctuates in its
strictness depending on the time of year and the 5-day forecast for rain.

Hydro-Grow will continue to utilize the best technologies available for the purpose of not only
complying with state and federal regulation, but also for maintaining the integrity of waterways within
its operating region. Demand for services provided by the business will also come from state and
local agencies hoping to stabilize erosion or install vegetation on hillsides and/or land. Although
Hydro-Grow typically pursues large contracts such as commercial, governmental, and industrial
contracts, individual homeowners also need to combat landslides or install turf.
