Hydroseeding is becoming more and more popular
as an effective means of establishing a new lawn. It is a process
that utilizes a mixed media of cellulose fiber, seed, fertilizer
and water. After being thoroughly mixed into a soupy consistency,
this media is sprayed on the lawn by machine. Sprouts will appear
in as little as three days and a fully established lawn will be
achieved in three weeks or less.
Hydroseed Advantages
- Protection of seeds from heat and birds during germination process.
- Soil temperature is maintained.
- More even application of seeds than is possible with broadcast seeding.
- Especially effective in keeping seeds from being washed away on slopes.
- Provides added organic components to enrich the soil after the lawn is established.
- No need to remove straw as is the case with broadcast seeding.
- Retention of moisture as seeds sprout.
- Allows for a better root formation as opposed to sodding.
