Application Spotlight: Commercial Hydroseeding & Strawblowing

Apex provides high-performance commercial hydroseeding and straw blowing equipment tailored to the needs of contractors, land managers, and environmental professionals. 

Commercial Hydroseeding Equipment Capabilities

Hydroseeder Coverage Capabilities by Model

Apex XA1200: Mid-Sized Power meets Flexibility

Our versatile, mid-sized XA1200 is especially well-suited to mid-sized commercial projects that require efficient hydroseeding solutions, which can include, but certainly aren’t limited to:

• Municipal and mid-size landscaping and land management
• Small-mid sized erosion control projects 
• Mid-sized highway projects 
• City parks, athletic fields, golf courses, and housing developments
• Smaller-scale environmental restoration 

With the ability to cover up to 3 acres per tank load (under average conditions) and high-volume coverage capacity from its APEX-engineered vortex pump that enables powerful slurry discharge, the XA1200 makes a versatile commercial hydroseeder engineered to handle a variety of small to mid-sized commercial projects in areas that require equipment flexibility and maneuverability. 

Features like a variable speed hydraulic system, wide loading hatch, and three interchangeable nozzles for easily changing between spray patterns add flexibility and utility to its commercial hydroseeding capacity. 

Apex XA3300: Mid-Large Hydroseeding Project Workhorse

Balancing performance and flexibility, the XA3300 retains some of the versatility of the XA1200, while adding more coverage and discharge power, enabling it to take on slightly larger projects than the XA1200 such as: 

• Multi-acre commercial developments like business parks
• Large-scale highway easements
• Pipeline corridor seeding
• Mid-large sized mine reclamation or environmental restoration projects
  

With a 3,200 gallon capacity, the XA3300 offers substantial coverage (~8 acres/load) while maintaining maneuverability and a towing weight that’s manageable for most contractors,making it ideal for those who tackle large sites but want to avoid frequent refills.

Apex XA4000 – Large-Scale Infrastructure and Reclamation

With an even larger hydroseeding tank capacity than the XA3300, the XA4000 delivers up to 10 acres of coverage per load (on average), making it an efficient, powerful solution for large job sites where frequent refills would be either too time consuming or too cumbersome such as: 

• Large-scale highway and transportation projects
• Large-scale commercial construction
• Interstate powerline or pipeline corridor seeding
• Large-scale erosion control and environmental restoration projects
  

Apex XA5000 – High-Volume, High Capacity Hydroseeding Projects

Featuring the largest tank of the Apex line up of hydroseeders, the XA5000 provides an industry-leading 4,740-gallon tank, which enables it to cover an average of 12 acres on a single load. Because it’s such a high capacity hydroseeder (able to carry 2,700 lbs of mulch at a time), the XA5000 delivers power and performance on projects where continuous application is essential, and where refilling may not be an option such as: 

• Large-scale mine reclamation
• Large-scale environmental restoration or soil stabilization initiatives
• Wildfire restoration
• Landfill closures 

Commercial Strawblowing Equipment Capabilities

Strawblowing Coverage Capabilities by Model

Apex XB7T – Compact, Flexible Mid-sized Strawblowing Capacity 

The trailer-mounted Apex XB7T gives you flexibility with the professional, commercial strawblowing performance usually seen with much larger equipment. Discharging up to 7 tons of straw or hay per hour at ranges up to 65 feet, the XB7T is designed to make quick work of medium to large-scale coverage jobs like:

• Housing developments or subdivisions
• Small-mid sized highway seeding or slope stabilization
• Construction site dust suppression
• Mid-sized erosion control projects

With the ability to mulch between 2-3 acres in an hour or less, combined with versatility and precision features like 360°-rotating discharge head and 60°-vertical articulation, projects that require professional results in less time can count on the XB7T. 

Apex XB20 – High-Volume Straw Blowing for Large-Scale Commercial Projects

With up to 20 tons per hour of straw output and 90 ft of discharge distance, the XB20 is a heavy-duty workhorse for the largest job sites. It handles high volumes of straw fast—with precision and less manpower—making it ideal for jobs where maximum coverage and efficiency are needed. Add in built-in dust suppression, a hydraulic feed tray, and a full operator control station, and you’ve got a machine built for continuous, dependable performance on projects such as: 

• Large infrastructure erosion control
• Land reclamation projects for mining and more
• Large-scale wildfire and dust suppression

Operational Efficiency and Ownership Advantages for Commercial Hydroseeders and Strawblowers

Added Resource and Workflow Efficiency

Commercial hydroseeding and strawblowing increases the efficiency of field crews, reducing both time spent on site and potential material waste during application. High-capacity mixing tanks, fast-loading hatches, and powerful discharge systems allow crews to complete more work with fewer refills—accelerating work on land management, slope stabilization, wildfire restoration, and dust suppression projects. 

With strong pump performance and precise spray control, commercial hydroseeders deliver consistent coverage that minimizes overspray and optimizes mulch and seed application. This streamlined application reduces time spent, and helps commercial hydroseeding and strawblowing companies operate more efficiently, allowing them to take on more projects with the extra capacity.
