Hydro-seeding is a process of mixing seed, fertilizer, tackifier and wood or paper fiber-mulch with water in correct proportions inside a tank, then spraying the mixture onto designated lawn areas. It is recommended to use wood mulch in the mixture, as it is a far superior product in retaining moisture longer than paper mulch. The reason hydro-seeding works so well is because it is suspended in a nutrient rich slurry. The contact of the seed with the water in the machine triggers the germination cycle. The mulch layer seals in the moisture, holds the soil in place, and acts like a mini-greenhouse effect. The seed is an ideal depth for good results. These conditions produce a lush lawn in a short amount of time. Hydro-seeding can be used in new construction projects as well as in replacing old, expired lawns quickly and easily. You can have a beautiful, healthy, durable lawn at a fraction of the cost of sodding. Hydroseeding is widely used in the residential market with the first signs of grass showing after 5 to 7 days. Your first mowing should be approximately three to four weeks after seeding. Hydroseeding provides flexibility for homeowners needing different varieties of seed while at the same time being environmentally friendly.
