Hydroseeding
Benefits to hydroseeding
Hydroseeding is a fast way to have a beautiful green lawn within weeks. It is a good choice for any Newly Built Homes, Graded Hillsides, or any torn up area such as Pipeline Construction, Gas Well Sites & other Construction Areas. We do offer planting of wildflowers & clover/vetch as well in rocky soils . The best time to plant is in the spring or in the fall but can be planted whenever as long as water is available.
By having your lawn hydroseeded, you are ensuring nearly 100% seed growth. Each seed is suspended & protected in a mulch mat. You won't have the problem watching your seeds wash away in streams. Seeds are held securely in place by mulch fibers, which creates a mini-greenhouse effect, retaining water, and promoting seed germination. It produces a high quality lawn without a high price tag of doing sod. Provides erosion control, No loose straw, Faster grow time.
Soil Preparation is key. It needs 4-6 inches of loosened rock free soil with at least 1-2 inches of compost soil on top before applying the hydroseed for ideal lawns.
Watering is key. The hydroseed cannot go more than 24hrs without watering in dry conditions until it germinates. (5-14days) The more it stays damp the faster it will grow and establish. After hydroseeding I give written instructions about this.
The process involves mixes of premium grass seeds and fertilizers. There are special additives such as different mulch, fertilizer, lime, & tackifier added as well. Most applications are 2500 square feet or more. We have planted no mow types of fescues that grow to be about 12-24inches. We do offer prep work which can be raking out rocks or spreading around topsoil. Also, light grading if needed.
