To address slope instability and erosion risks in the 450-hectare golf course development in Bamban, Tarlac, Hann/Mace TPM proposed hydroseeding as a practical and environmentally responsible solution. Hydroseeding involves spraying a slurry of seed, mulch, fertilizer, and soil stabilizers directly onto cut slopes. This method promotes rapid vegetation growth, improves soil retention, and creates a protective layer against rainfall and runoff. It is especially effective for steep or disturbed terrain, where traditional erosion control methods may fall short. The development team selected hydroseeding for its speed, coverage, and adaptability to large-scale landscapes. It also supports sustainable site management by reducing sediment runoff and the need for frequent maintenance. Overall, hydroseeding proved ideal for stabilizing slopes in a dynamic golf course environment.

Beyond technical benefits, hydroseeding meets the aesthetic and functional standards of modern golf course design. Golf courses require consistent turf coverage, natural integration with the landscape, and durable, low-maintenance vegetation. Hydroseeding fulfills all these requirements while maintaining visual appeal even during early development stages. The technique was applied to all slopes with gradients of 2:1 and 1:1, prioritizing erosion-prone and highly visible areas. This ensured both environmental protection and a cohesive look throughout the course. Its successful application helped prevent soil degradation and laid the foundation for a lush, playable setting. Ultimately, hydroseeding played a key role in supporting the project’s long-term sustainability and design vision.
