What is "hydroseeding", and how is it used?
Hydroseeding is often used to economically seed large areas of lawns, especially on commercial projects. It is used extensively by commercial grassing contractors, for planting large areas and in areas (such as slopes) where normal planting methods may not be easily accomplished. This grass planting process is fast, economical, and efficient and used for a wide variety of applications. Depending on watering and/or rainfall frequencies a properly hydroseeded area usually will show results in as little as three days, and can be fully established in three weeks or less.
The hydroseeding process starts by mixing cellulose fiber mulch, grass seed and water in the tank to be pumped and mixed by the machine. Once the mixture is fully blended it is then sprayed on the ground. The sprayed mixture on the ground is referred to as a blanket or a mat. The material in the mat enhances the seed geminating process and will stimulate the seeds to grow a healthy and deep root system.
