The Mixture: Seed, fertilizer, mulch (which holds moisture), and a tacky glue-like agent are mixed inside a tank to create a wet slurry.
The Application: The slurry is sprayed evenly over prepared soil or sloped hillsides using a hose and nozzle.
Hydroseeding delivers four primary advantages over traditional seeding and sod:
Superior Cost-to-Coverage Ratio: Costs up to 80% less than sod while covering vast or uneven terrain far faster than traditional seeding.
Built-in Erosion & Moisture Control: The wood-fiber mulch and tackifier slurry locks seeds into place, retaining moisture and preventing rain, wind, or birds from ruining the seedbed.
Deeper, Healthier Root Systems: Unlike sod—which can suffer transplant shock and shallow root knitting—hydroseeded grass germinates directly in your native soil, establishing stronger roots.
Custom Seed Blends: Allow you to tailor the seed mix specifically to your project's unique needs, including soil type, sun exposure, and shade tolerance.
