Manufacturing the Dixon Land Imprinter™ for establishment, transformation, and resilience of vegetation. A nature-based solution for natural systems.
What are Dixon Land Imprinters ™ are useful for?
Post-fire seeding & flood reduction, Native seed germination and establishment, Increasing plant diversity, Seeding, Erosion control, Surface treatment, Range restoration, Weed control, TMDL reduction. flood attenuation, stormwater infiltration, revegetation, Conservation Reserve Programs, control, hazard mitigation, right of way seeding, slope erosion control infiltration, and desertification reversal.
Who are our customers?
Dept’s of Transportation (federal & states), Seeding contractors, Land managers, Land owners, Ranchers, Farmers, Range managers, tribal entities, farm extension service (USDA) Landscapers, National Labs. Many specifications in plans by: Bureau of Land Management, Abandoned Mine Lands, US Forest Service, USDA, engineering companies, and by engineers writing a revegetation or seeding specification.
Where are Dixon Land Imprinters™ used?
Grasslands, Steppe, Forests, Uplands, on slopes, on Right of Ways (ROW), farms, vegetated strips, desert, jungle and from tree line to the wetlands.
How are Dixon Land Imprinters™ used/deployed?
When filled with seed Dixon Land Imprinters can be pulled by 4WD tractors, track tractors, 4 WD e-tractors, dozers, and even pick-up trucks.
When are Dixon Land Imprinters™ used?
When the soil is dry to damp, but not wet. After a fire and before the flood, when the snow has melted but before the rain begins, when weeds are a problem, when increased biodiversity is required. When more grazing is needed. When tree seed needs to be sowed.

A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.

An ideal Imprinting at the I-10 project in Tucson, AZ. Imprinting is performed with a Dixon Land Imprinter™. It is an implement created to improve storm water infiltration into slope and non-slope soils. Increases of infiltration can reach 100 x improvement over non-imprinted soil. When mounted with seed box it is a no-till, weed suppressing practice on watershed uplands. In two weeks, after a rain, we should have emergence. Imprinting has been demonstrated to provide more plant diversity than drill or spray-on seeding methods. Imprints can retain up to 4” storm water events (depending on soil types and inherent porosity).

Altering the trajectory of a site, from degradation & desertification to a thriving, self-sustaining, natural system is possible
We bring years of experience to bear on the greatest challenge of our time. We’re are driven to succeed, demonstrated in a long record of previous projects.
The following link demonstrates that we have been fabricating Imprinters since 2003, the listing will be updated with the new Model soon: Revegetation Equipment Catalog
