Why Hydroseed?

Why Hydroseed?

Due to the affordable cost and versatility in application, hydroseeding is becoming more and more popular as an effective means of establishing new lawns, controlling erosion, and vegetating land after disasters such as wild fires and floods. In addition hydroseed requires less watering than sod. In some instances sod and conventional drill seeding are just not a viable options. Like in the situation of a wild fire. Many areas are raw undeveloped lands with steep / rugged terrane that make anything short of an aerial application impossible. 


 

*Advantages of Hydroseeding

  • 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.
