-
Will trigger the germination cycle. We often hear
of grass up in 7 to 10 days.
-
Hydro seeding has an attractive green appearance
that looks far better Hydroseeded lawns come up faster.
-
Unlike straw that is often used as a protective cover for a
newly seeded area, hydroseeding mulch has NO weed seed.
Straw is loaded with weed seed.
-
Hydroseeding allows the custom tayloring of the proper seed for
your job. It is not uncommon to use two or even three seeds
custom spraying the right seed for different areas on the lawn or
job. Many times we custom hydroseed using one seed for
shady areas, one for high traffic areas, one to make the front
lawn a showpiece.
-
Hydro Seeding mulch adds to the humus content of a lawn as it
decomposes. The bacterial action of straw will leach
nitrogen from the soil as it decomposes.
ADVANTAGES OF HYDROSEEDING OVER SOD
-
Sod is a good solution for a new lawn.
It is expensive. Sod generally costs 3 to 5 times more than
hydroseeding. Hydroseeding will often produce turf as nice
looking as sod within a very short time at a significant cost
savings.
-
With hydroseeding the new seedlings are grown on your
soil. Sod can have a problem with the type of soil it was
grown on, not having sufficient compatibility with the soil it is
planted on. This is called "not taking".
If you have ever seen sod that looks like it could be rolled right
back up even months after it was planted. That is sod that
did not take.
Sod requires a lot of care. It can produce a beautiful lawn.
Should you decide to use sod, or as some people do, decide to sod the
front lawn, and hydroseed the back lawn. Make sure to
ask the trained professional who installs your sod about the watering
and fertilizing steps you need to follow to insure that you have a
successful and beautiful new lawn.
THE ADVANTAGES OF HYDRO
SEEDING!
Hydroseeding is a fast, cost effective way to have a new lawn that
will turn your neighbors green with envy.
Hydroseeding costs only a little more than old fashioned methods
using dry seeding techniques combined with a messy straw mulch.
The cost to have your new lawn hydroseeded is less than 1/2 the cost
of using sod, and in a few weeks you will have a better appearing lawn
with no need to worry if the sod will take.
Your new lawn will be sprayed on. The protective mulch
covering has an attractive green appearance. A special blend of
seeds will be used that will be chosen for the conditions and
requirements you have. The factors that may go into the choice
may be the amount of sun, shade, the terrain, the type of soil and if
you have children or pets.
Your lawn will be hydroseeded with a tested, high quality,
certified turf mix.
Germination time will depend on the weather, the time of year, the
amount of water, the area you live in and other factors. Usually
grass will be visible in 5-10 days, a few days slower in cold weather
or the hottest part of summer.
You will be surprised how inexpensive it is to have a truly
outstanding lawn.
