An innovative new product has finally solved one of the most frustrating home landscaping challenges: how to keep decorative mulch in place without constant maintenance.
The new landscaping breakthrough, EnviroHold™, is an environmentally safe, non-toxic water-based adhesive that is sprayed onto ground cover materials, offering long-lasting protection against rain, wind, erosion, blowers and mowers.
"EnviroHold bonds and stabilizes ground cover, even on steep slopes, keeping mulch from blowing or washing into pools, onto sidewalks or driveways, or into surrounding areas," said Michael Hoggatt, president of EnviroHold Inc., and inventor of the breakthrough product. "At the same time, though, it still allows water and nutrients to flow through to plants and trees."
EnviroHold saves homeowners both time and money, reducing routine maintenance chores while extending the life of the mulch, Hoggatt added. It is ideal for use on all types of ground cover materials including wood chips, pine straw, pebbles, gravel, sand and dirt, offering ideal dust and erosion control around trees, planting beds, slopes, pathways, pools, garden borders and driveway edging.
"In addition to preventing washouts and erosion, the EnviroHold formula also includes polishers and brighteners that help enhance the mulch material's natural color," he said. "It even includes UV inhibitors to aid in color retention in today's highly decorative ground cover materials."
EnviroHold is sold to homeowners in a ready-to-use refillable pump sprayer, and is also available in an easy-to-mix concentrate that can be used with most any pump-type garden sprayer. Once applied it starts bonding immediately, and reaches its maximum bonding strength in 48 hours.
"Not only is EnviroHold quick and easy to apply, it is also economical and long-lasting, and completely non-toxic to animals and plants," said Hoggatt. "Our goal was to help homeowners improve their property's overall appearance, while simplifying maintenance and reducing maintenance costs."
