Hydroseeding (or hydraulic mulch seeding, hydro-mulching, hydraseeding) is a planting process that uses a slurry of seed and mulch. It is often used as an erosion control technique on construction sites, as an alternative to the traditional process of broadcasting or sowing dry seed.
If planting a relatively large area, hydroseeding can be completed in a very short period of time. It can be very effective for hillsides and sloping lawns to help with erosion control and quick planting. Hydroseeding will typically cost less than planting with sod, but more than broadcast seeding. Results are often quick with high germination rates producing grass growth in about a week and mowing maintenance beginning around 3 to 4 weeks from the date of application. Fiber mulch accelerates the growing process by maintaining moisture around the seeds thereby increasing the rate of germination.
S & E Ward's Landscaping offers hydroseeding as a quick and affordable way to establish a thick, luxurious lawn. Hydroseeding is half the price of sod, and faster and easier than sod for installing a lawn or filling in turf. With hydroseeding, we spray the ground with a nutrient-rich mixture of seeds and processed wood fibers, creating a healthy micro-environment for vigorous grass growth. As the grass grows, it readily adapts to the climate and environment producing a hardy, healthy, long-lasting lawn. Hydroseeding is safe and non-toxic to children, pets and the environment. A single application yields superior results the first time.
S & E Ward's has been hydroseeding lawns for years. We have created lawns for individual property owners as well as large-scale housing developments and apartment complexes. Our staff has a wealth of knowledge on hydroseeding and the factors that contribute to successful establishment and longevity of a healthy lawn.
