What is Hydroseeding

There are reasons hydro seeding works so well. The seed is suspended in a nutrient rich mulch. The contact of the seed with the water in machine triggers the germination cycle. The mulch layer seals in the moisture, and holds the soil in place. The seed is at an ideal depth for good results. The conditions are right to produce a lush green lawn in very short time.
Hydro seeding is a one step application. Mulch, seed, fertilizer and special growing amendments are evenly distributed in the sprayed material.

Hydroseeding (or hydraulic mulch seeding, hydro-mulching, hydraseeding) is a process which slurry is transported in a tank, either truck or trailer mounted and sprayed over prepared ground in a uniform layer; Hydroseeding is an alternative to the traditional process of broadcasting or sowing dry seed. It promotes quick germination and inhibits soil erosion. The mulch in the hydroseed mixture helps maintain the lawns moisture level of the seed and seedlings. The slurry often has other ingredients including fertilizer, tackifying agents, green dye and other additives. Hydroseeding is used to seed grass on commercial sites, (highways/motorways etc.), golf courses, lawns and areas too large, inaccessible or unsuitable for conventional methods. Starting a lawn by hydroseeding is considerably cheaper than laying sod//turf and quicker than using

seed. It is also used to spread mixtures of wildflowers.
