01
What is hydroseeding?
Hydroseeding is a planting process where a slurry of water, seeds, mulch, fertilizer, and sometimes a tackifier is sprayed onto prepared soil to establish grass, wildflowers, or erosion-control vegetation quickly and uniformly.
02
What types of projects is hydroseeding best for?
It’s ideal for large areas like lawns, sports fields, roadsides, slopes, and reclamation sites. It’s also great for erosion control, wildfire restoration, or establishing native plants.
03
How long does it take for hydroseeded grass to grow?
Grass typically sprouts in 7–21 days, depending on seed type, weather, and watering. Full establishment, with a thick lawn, usually takes 4–6 weeks with proper care.
04
Is hydroseeding cheaper than sodding?
Yes! Hydroseeding costs about $0.10–$0.20 per square foot in the U.S., compared to $1–$2 per square foot for sod, making it a cost-effective alternative for large areas.
05
Will hydroseeding wash away in heavy rain?
When applied correctly with a tackifier, hydroseeding adheres well to soil. However, heavy rain right after application can cause washout if the site isn’t properly prepared or stabilized. We ensure optimal techniques to minimize this risk.
06
What kind of maintenance does hydroseeding require?
Regular watering (1–2 times daily, lightly) is critical for the first 2–4 weeks. Avoid walking on the area, and follow our fertilization and mowing guidelines for best results.
07
Can hydroseeding be done in any season?
Spring and fall are ideal due to moderate temperatures and moisture, but hydroseeding can work year-round in some climates with proper care. We tailor timing to your region for optimal growth.
