Landscaping Hydroseeding

Efficient Landscape Detailing

What is Hydroseeding?

Quite simply, Hydroseeding is the next generation of seed establishment, as it has proven to be an effective alternative to the costly, time-consuming and labour intensive laying of turf, delivering high quality results in commercial and residential landscape projects.

The method involves the application of a solution containing seed, mixed with fertiliser, mulch and other additives in a one step process to establish turf or vegetation as quickly as possible.

The seed used in the mixture varies from lawn seed to native seed with options such as wildflowers and tree seed added upon request from landscape customers.

Hydroseeding encourages and creates a favourable growing environment which increases the establishment and growth of grass and other vegetation.

Why use Hydroseeding for your Landscape Project?

Whether it is a large commercial landscape project or an expanse of home lawn, everyone¡¦s objective is to cover the area with good quality turf/grass. Hydroseeding is the economical choice for growing results over traditional hand seeding or sod. The major benefits of Hydroseeding are:

Quality:

The lawn quality that hydroseeding affords is much healthier, greener and lasts longer, as the root system is grown deep in the soil. A hydroseeded area grows quicker with results seen in 3-5 days and is ready to cut in approximately 3 weeks. Hydroseeding also protect against weed infestation. In comparison to turf, new seedlings when applied through hydroseeding grow better in the soil.

Cost:

Hydroseeding costs 50% less than the price of sod/turf. Purchasing sod is expensive and coupled with the labour intensive application it can be a costing and time consuming decision. Hydroseeding requires less installation and material than sod and gives you a healthy grass for a fraction of the cost.

Coverage:

Hydroseeding provides a uniform, thick grass that does not have the threat of seams showing with sod or patches with hand seeding. This method also gives you the control to cover difficult, inaccessible areas such as slopes that are too steep to apply turf. Sometimes different seeds are needed in various areas on a site. Hydroseeding allows this custom tailoring of the correct seed for particular areas. For example, many hydroseeding contractors will use one seed for erosion control, one for shady areas, one for high traffic areas and one for grassy areas.
