What Is the Process for Hydroseeding?

You can't wake up one morning and decide to call one of the local landscaping companies to come hydroseed your yard. There is a process involved that may take several days. Here's a little more information about the process of hydroseeding.

1. Start by grading and smoothing out the soil and removing any debris from it.
2. Go ahead and install any edging you want. For example, do you want a small white fence outlining your yard or maybe, you prefer natural stones. Go ahead and place your edging. We can handle the edging for you to save you time.
3. You will need to add at least two inches of topsoil to provide a good seedbed for germination.
4. Spray the hydroseed slurry over the patch of ground you want to cover. Our hydroseed slurry includes a starter fertilizer and lime to get the grass growing
5. For the next four to six weeks, keep pets, guests, and children off the area you planted with hydroseed and keep it evenly moistened.
6. After four weeks, you should go ahead and mow your hydroseed for the first time.

What Are Some Reasons and Benefits of Hydroseeding in Atlantic County, New Jersey? 

You want a beautiful lawn, and you have many choices. So why should you choose hydroseeding over the other options? Here are a few reasons and benefits of hydroseeding to consider:

• Saves money in large spaces: If you have a large lawn, you're going to save money with hydroseeding versus laying sod. While you won't save as much on a smaller lawn, it can still be economical.
• Better adaptability: With hydroseeding, one of the best benefits is that you get to choose your mixture of seeds to apply to the soil. Sometimes, there are tough conditions, shade, or challenges with the soil that require a specific type of seed, and hydroseeding is the best way to disperse it.
• More attractive and larger variety: When seeds are chosen for sod, they are picked based on their durability to last on the roll while waiting to be planted in a yard. With hydroseeding, you can choose any seeds that you like even finer bladed grass that you can't use in sod.
• Resistant to diseases: When sod is created, there is only a single type of seed used in the entire roll. This is referred to as monoculture. With monoculture, there is a great chance that a disease will take hold and destroy the sod. When you hydroseed, you can use a blend of seeds and lower the risk of disease.
• Better coverage: Hydroseeding provides better coverage of the seeds. You won't find seams and bald spots like you would with sod or hand-spreading seeds. This coverage helps to create a barrier that helps the seeds retain moisture and take root more quickly.
• Better water retention: Seeds placed in the soil through hydroseeding retain up to 10 times more moisture than sod and other methods. The water included with the mixture gets sealed in with the seeds and releases a little at a time in the soil until a rainfall provides more water.
