Why Choose Hydro Seeding?
Is Hydro Seeding the right fit for your project?
Hydroseeding is a planting technique that involves spraying a slurry of seed, water, fertilizer, and mulch onto the soil to establish grass or other vegetation. Here are a few reasons why hydroseeding may be a better choice than sod:
Cost: Hydroseeding is generally less expensive than sodding, as it requires less labor and materials to install. Additionally, hydroseeding allows for more control over the amount of seed and fertilizer used, which can help to reduce costs further.
Erosion Control: Hydroseeding can help to prevent soil erosion, especially on steep slopes or areas with poor soil quality. The mulch layer in the hydroseeding mixture helps to anchor the seed and protect the soil from wind and water erosion.
Better Coverage: Hydroseeding provides more even coverage than sodding, which can result in a more uniform and attractive lawn. Additionally, hydroseeding can be used to plant on irregularly shaped or hard-to-reach areas.
Faster Germination: Hydroseeding typically results in faster germination and establishment of the grass than sodding, as the seed is in direct contact with the soil and moisture.
Variety: Hydroseeding allows for more variety in grass species and blends, as it is easier to customize the seed mixture to meet specific needs and preferences.
While both hydroseeding and sodding can be effective ways to establish a lawn, hydroseeding may be a better option for those who prioritize cost, erosion control, coverage, speed of establishment, and variety.
