There's nothing quite like having the dream of a gorgeous, lush lawn but looking out the window to see dirt and dead grass. Trying to grow grass traditionally uses hundreds of gallons of water. According to Non-Toxic Communities, a conventionally maintained lawn can use up to 200 gallons of water daily to remain green. Hydroseeding is the most innovative seeding method to help you enjoy a healthy lawn without the effort and consistent disappointment traditional methods have become known for.

The Basics

This seeding involves mixing several elements to create a seed mixture. Most mixtures contain seeds, fertilizer, soil, and water, ensuring seeds have everything they need to survive and thrive. The fertilizer or mulch is necessary for this process to be effective. It helps prevent erosion, keeping the seeds where you want the grass to grow. Mulch can also help retain moisture, ensuring your seeds stay hydrated.

Equipment

There is only a little equipment used for this process. Most companies utilize a unique mixer if they mix their hydroseed mix. A specific spreader is used for this mix to ensure it's evenly spread over the area to be seeded. However, equipment may be necessary to prepare the site properly. Most companies address erosion issues and level the ground before planting to ensure you get the desired flawless lawn.

The Process

The process of hydroseeding is relatively simple. Most people contact a professional company specializing in residential or commercial hydroseeding. The company will send a person to do an estimate. They'll evaluate the land to determine if other services are necessary, such as erosion control, for you to get the results you want. Most companies have several types of seeds available, and they'll discuss the different options with you to ensure you wind up with the right seed for the job. Then, the professional will give you an estimate and schedule a date to get started.

Benefits

When you utilize this process instead of traditional methods, you'll enjoy several benefits. The process is much faster than other methods. Seeds germinate quicker, resulting in a healthier lawn much faster. The mulch in the mixture helps prevent erosion, ensuring a thick lawn of lush grass. This seeding method is versatile, so almost anyone can enjoy the benefits, including people who own commercial properties or small patches of land.
