Hydroseeding Services
Hydroseeding services are an important revenue source for landscape contractors, as they can help establish new lawns, improve erosion control and revitalize properties that have been neglected. They also help businesses diversify their customer bases by securing contracts with local and state government agencies.

Hydroseed is a technique that consists of spraying a mixture of mulch, seeds and fertilizer onto bare soil to create a lawn. It’s typically used for residential or commercial applications and can be a cost-effective and fast way to re-establish a lawn.

Before you can get started with your hydroseeding project, you need to perform a soil test to make sure the area is suitable for growing grass. This will ensure that you are using the proper seed and fertilizer for your particular soil type, and that your slurry contains the right levels of nutrients.

Performing a soil test is easy and can be done at home or by a professional lawn care company. You can purchase a soil test kit or send the sample to a lab for analysis.

The test will tell you the pH of your soil, which is important for grass to thrive. It should be in the range of 6.5 to 7 so that it can receive all the nutrients it needs for germination and growth. You can use lime, sulfur or compost to adjust the soil’s pH if needed.

Next, you’ll want to remove any weeds or rocks that may inhibit the seeds from reaching the ground. This step is essential for the best results. If you have a large area to cover, you’ll need to prepare it by grading the soil around your property. This will prevent the slurry from soaking up too much moisture or running into structures that could be damaged by runoff.

Once the ground is prepared, your landscaping service will apply the slurry to your lawn. They can use hand-held sprayers, high-pressure pumps or a hydraulic machine. It depends on the size of the area that needs to be seeded, and they’ll also need to determine the rate at which they will spray it.

It’s important to water your newly hydroseeded lawn after the process is complete, so that the seeds have a chance to germinate and grow. Frequent, light watering will help to give the seeds a good start and prevent them from dying.

During summers, it can be more difficult for hydroseed to take root because the climate tends to be drier and more hot than in spring and fall. This is why it’s usually recommended to avoid hydroseeding during these seasons.

A lawn that has been hydroseeded in summer is more likely to require supplemental watering than one that was seeded in the fall or spring. It’s also more important to keep pets and wildlife off the newly seeded area until the seeds have a chance to establish themselves. This will take about 5 weeks, so you’ll need to keep your pet and any other visitors off the lawn until then.
