Straight answers
Everything clients and partners ask us about air-powered ground cover installation, in one place. Don’t see your question? Ask us directly.
How it works
Yes. Air-powered installation is the same method some call pneumatic or blower-truck installation. The difference is the standard we hold it to. We install IPEMA-certified engineered wood fiber to exact fall-height depth for compliance, not just coverage.
Because the material is carried by air from the top or the road, we cover steep and unstable slopes that are unsafe to hand-spread. Tell us the site and we’ll assess access and coverage.
Yes. Because the material is placed by air from a hose, no equipment drives across your turf, so you get even coverage with no rutting or compaction.
No. We stage from the street and carry material by air across finished surfaces, so there is no loader or truck driving over your completed site work.
Yes. There’s no pile dumped and no debris hand-spread. We place material precisely and leave nothing for your team to clean up.
Minimally. We work from the street with no equipment on the grounds, finish in hours, and leave nothing to clean up, so there’s little for residents to navigate.
Yes. We work from ample local supply, so the size of the job is never the constraint.
Materials
Premium, all-natural mulch that is filtered and triple-ground from local sources. No dyes and no fillers, so it looks clean and uniform going down and breaks down the way nature intended.
We focus on premium, all-natural material, and the natural color of real bark holds up beautifully without chemicals. If your property requires a specific color, ask us and we’ll talk through the options.
Premium natural bark and triple-ground mulch from local sources. We let the natural color of real material do the work, no dyes and no painted wood.
IPEMA-certified engineered wood fiber (EWF), tested to ASTM F1292 (impact attenuation) and ASTM F2075 (the EWF material standard). It’s the most widely accepted loose-fill surfacing for compliant, accessible playgrounds.
It depends on the critical fall height of your equipment. ASTM F1292 sets the impact-attenuation requirement, and the depth of engineered wood fiber needed rises with the height of the tallest accessible play structure. We measure each use zone and install to the depth your equipment requires, not a one-size-fits-all number.
Erosion-control mulch, compost, and wood straw, placed by air across the slope. They cover and protect the soil surface and slow runoff while vegetation establishes.
Most properties refresh once a year, often in spring, to restore depth, color, and weed suppression. High-visibility entries and amenity areas sometimes get a second pass. We will recommend a cadence for your property and beds.

No. We place dry erosion-control material by air, which lets us cover steep and hard-to-reach slopes from the top or the road without a crew on the ground. We can work alongside a hydroseeding or planting plan.
Scheduling & service area
We serve California’s Central Coast and the Conejo Valley, from Santa Barbara south to Calabasas, across Santa Barbara County, Ventura County, and the surrounding communities. Check your city on our service areas page, or call and we will tell you straight whether we cover you.
We are a mobile operation. We dispatch our fleet across the region and quote and schedule by property, so there is no storefront to visit, and no trip charge buried in the price.
It moves with the season: spring fills fastest, and most installs book a few weeks out. Tell us your date and we will tell you straight whether we can hit it. For time-sensitive work, inspections, events, listings, we keep room for rush jobs by arrangement.
Light coastal weather rarely stops an install. Sustained rain can pause placement, because saturated material doesn’t place or settle cleanly. If weather threatens your window, we contact you ahead of time, reschedule together, and your fixed quote stays the same.
A typical playground takes hours. The exact time depends on square footage and depth, and the playground usually reopens the same day rather than staying closed through a multi-day manual job.
Yes. Schedule reliability is the point. You sequence us into the project and we hold the committed install date.
Yes. One site or a whole portfolio, we schedule and price across all of it and refresh each property in a single visit, around your operations.
Pricing & quotes
Five things, roughly in order: the material and grade you choose, the volume in cubic yards, the placement depth, site access (how far the hose has to travel and what it has to clear), and site prep like weeding or edging if you want it handled. We measure, then send a fixed quote: one number, itemized, no surprise change orders.
We quote by property, not by the yard, and there is no published minimum. Air-powered installation is built for commercial volume, so larger jobs get the most leverage from it, but smaller properties often make sense scheduled along a route. Ask, and we will tell you straight whether the economics work for your site.
Either. We can quote and invoice property by property or as one portfolio plan, whichever is easier for your accounting.
Compliance & credentials
Yes. We hold a CSLB C-27 license (#1151159), are registered with the California DIR (#2000019015) for prevailing-wage public works, and carry full commercial insurance and a contractor’s bond.

Yes. We install IPEMA-certified engineered wood fiber to the ASTM F1292 critical fall height your structure requires, and document it for inspection.
Yes. We install IPEMA-certified engineered wood fiber to the ASTM F1292 fall-height depth your equipment requires, measured per use zone, not a one-size-fits-all number.
Yes. We are licensed, bonded, and insured, and we provide certificates of insurance as part of onboarding or before work begins, including additional-insured endorsements where your contract requires them.
Partners
No. We work as your subcontractor. We never market to, quote, or follow up with a customer on a job you bring us. The relationship and the credit stay yours.
We quote a transparent per-yard wholesale rate that improves as your volume grows, with payment terms for vetted partners. You mark it up to your customer however you price your own work.
You earn a referral commission on the installed value of any job a client books with us on your referral. We will walk you through the current structure when you join, and pay out after the work is installed and invoiced.
It is a co-branded discount on a client’s first installation that you can give as a closing or welcome gift. Fleetscape covers the discount, so it costs you nothing and gives your client something they will actually use.
Yes. Our crew wears Fleetscape safety gear and our truck carries our branding, so we cannot run unbranded. But we work strictly as your ground cover crew: we install and leave, and we never market to, quote, or follow up with your customer.
Yes. We can provide CSI 32 91 13.16 (Mulching) and 32 93 13 (Ground Covers) reference language that you can adapt into your own specifications.
