We often hear of grass up in 2 to 5 days. Hydro seeding has an attractive green appearance that looks far better than lawns dry seeded and covered with straw mulch. Unlike straw that is often used as a protective cover for a newly seeded area, hydro seeding mulch has NO weed seed. Straw is loaded with weed seed. Hydro seeding allows the custom tailoring of the proper seed for your job. It is not uncommon to use two or even three seeds to custom spray the right seed for different areas of the job. Many custom hydro seeding contractors will use one seed for shady areas, one for high traffic areas, one to make the front lawn a showpiece. Hydro Seeding mulch adds to the humus content of a lawn as it decomposes. The bacterial action of straw will leach nitrogen from the soil as it decomposes. ADVANTAGES OF HYDRO SEEDING OVER SOD Sod is a good solution to the need for a new lawn. It is expensive. Sod generally costs 3 to 5 times more than hydro seeding. Hydro seeding will often produce turf as nice looking as sod within a very short time at a significant cost savings. With hydro seeding the new seedlings are grown on your soil. Sod can have a problem with the type of soil it was grown on, not having sufficient compatibility with the soil it is planted on. This is called "not taking". Have ever seen sod that looks like it could be rolled right back up even years after it was planted? That is sod that did not take. Sod requires a lot of care. It can produce a beautiful lawn. Should you decide to use sod, or as some people do, decide to sod the front lawn, and hydro seed the back lawn. We hope that you will ask the trained professional who installs your sod about the watering and fertilizing steps you need to follow to insure that you have a successful and beautiful new lawn. Below is a before and after picture of how your new lawn can look. |
