With hydroseeding, seed germinates faster than traditional seeding, a higher percentage of seed germinates, soil erosion is greatly reduced, grass plant survival is higher, and results are a uniform distribution of the mixture. This is an environmentally sound process that uses a mixture of fiber-mulch, seed, lime/sulfur, fertilizer, water and also other amendments to help enhance your soil. This is mixed in proper proportions to create a homogeneous slurry that is then sprayed onto designated areas. Its versatility allows for seed application in difficult areas including slopes, berms, ditches and narrow strips.
EROSION CONTROL:
Erosion commonly occurs due to water runoff, heavy rainfall, or persistent winds that strip away valuable topsoil. This loss of topsoil makes it challenging for trees and plants to take root and thrive. In more severe cases, excess water can lead to mudslides or create soil fissures, resulting in ground instability and further environmental damage.
If you're managing sloped land or areas with trenches (rills), advanced planning is your best defense against soil erosion. Hydroseeding stands out as a superior and affordable method for erosion control. By planting fast-growing turf and ground cover, you encourage deep root growth that effectively stabilizes the soil.
No irrigation? No problem. These resilient roots work to hold the soil together, while the foliage acts as a shield, protecting the topsoil from heavy winds. With hydroseeding, you can confidently combat erosion and maintain the integrity of your landscape.
Failing to address erosion early can be a costly mistake, turning once-lush landscapes into unusable and even dangerous terrain—especially on elevated slopes. To protect your property, it's essential to observe how water behaves during heavy rainfall.
Does the rainwater absorb into the soil, or does it channel through, creating puddles, channels, or gullies while washing away valuable topsoil? If you notice these signs, it's a clear indication of an erosion problem that requires immediate attention.

KEY TO A THRIVING LAWN:
Regardless of how your new lawn is installed, care during the first few weeks is crucial. Grass seeds need consistent moisture to germinate and thrive. During naturally moist seasons like Spring and Fall, rainfall may provide enough water. However, assisting the process with additional watering is always beneficial.
It’s important to note that grass seeds require moisture to sprout, while weed seeds prefer drier conditions. If your grass germinates before the weeds, it creates a barrier that prevents weeds from taking over. Conversely, if the new grass seeds dry out, weeds may germinate more quickly, stifling healthy grass growth.
By staying attentive to your lawn's moisture needs, you’ll ensure the success of your grass and keep unwanted weeds at bay, fostering a vibrant and healthy lawn.
Achieving Successful Seed Germination:
Proper care during the first few days is essential for successful seed germination. To ensure the best results here's a guide:
Keep the yard consistently moist to maximize and speed up germination. The applied green blanket should remain sponge-damp for optimal results. DO NOT FLOOD!
Once your grass seed germinates and begins to sprout, you can gradually reduce watering. However, it’s important to maintain enough moisture to keep the young grass thriving as it establishes itself.
When it comes to new seeds, watering often and lightly is the key to success. Unlike established lawns, which benefit from deep watering to reach the root zone, new seeds are near the surface and require consistent moisture to thrive. “Keeping the Surface Wet” is crucial for achieving a stunning lawn.
By watering regularly and keeping your seedlings from drying out, you’ll ensure the foundation of a lawn that will leave your neighbors envious.
No irrigation? No problem! We offer an advanced amendment that holds 400 times its weight in water and releases it as needed. This gel lasts up to 3 months, providing ample time for your seed to germinate and flourish with minimal watering effort.
