Sod Alternative

Looking for a fast way to establish a new lawn without having to use sod? If so, hydroseeding may be the perfect solution for you.

Hydroseeding / Hydromulching

Hydroseeding, also known as hydromulching, involves the mixing together of grass seed, fertilizer, wood fiber or other mulch and water to form a slurry. The slurry is then uniformly applied to the soil using a hydroseeding machine.

Hydroseeding has been shown to increase the speed at which turfgrass seed germinates. In addition, seedlings are better able to thrive because they are protected by the mulch.

Depending on the weather conditions in your area, turfgrass grown from hydroseeding can become established and ready for its first mowing in as little as four weeks.

Benefits of Hydroseeding

Some of the many benefits of hydroseeding include:

• Cost: Hydroseeding costs roughly 50% less than sod
• Speed: All "ingredients" for quick and healthy growth are applied in one step
• Convenience: Slopes or larger areas can be seeded quickly and easily
• Prevention: Quick establishment can help to avoid soil erosion.
• Safety: Hydroseeding is non-toxic for children, pets and the environment
