Advantages


Do you want a high quality lawn, without all the work and cost of laying sod?

Hydro Seeding is the answer. We eliminate the back breaking job of installing sod by hydro seeding your lawn at a fraction of the cost. By having your lawn hydro seeded you will save more than 75% of the cost of sod. This will allow you to put money towards the rest of your landscaping needs.

Better than just “seeding”

By having your lawn hydro seeded, you are insuring nearly 100% seed growth. Each seed is suspended and protected in a mulch mat. You won’t have the problem of watching your seeds wash away in streams. Seeds are held securely in place by the mulch fibers, which create a mini-greenhouse effect, retaining water and promoting germination. It produces a high quality lawn without a high price tag.

ADVANTAGES OF HYDROSEEDING OVER DRY SEEDING

1.  Hydro seeded lawns come up faster.  The contact of the 
     seed with water will trigger the germination cycle.   

2.  Hydro seeding has an attractive green appearance that
     looks far better than lawns dry seeded and covered with 
     straw mulch. 

3.  Unlike straw that is often used as a protective cover for a 
     newly seeded area, hydro seeding mulch has NO weed 
     seed.  Straw is loaded with weed seed. 

4.  Hydro seeding allows the custom tailoring 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 custom hydro seeding contractors will use one seed for shady           areas, one for high traffic areas and one to make the front lawn a showpiece.    

5.  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

1.  Sod is a good solution to the need 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. 

2.  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 years 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 hydro seed the back lawn.  We hope that you will 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.  

Often a sod lawn is demanded for instant gratification. Sodding will provide solid coverage of grass immediately. Also in many cases, it can be laid during cooler times of the year when seeding can not be done. However, sodding is costly, and the installation is labor intensive. Low cost sodding usually costs about twice what even premium hydro-seeding costs. Premium grasses and certified clean sod can easily cost three times the costs of premium hydro-seeding using premium grasses. It is not uncommon for a front yard to be sodded and the back yard to be hydro-seeded. In four weeks you will have a much healthier deeper rooted lawn with hydroseed, a sod lawn could be rolled back up.
