There are two ways to seed your lawn and ensure you have lush grass and no bare spots. While traditional broadcast dry seeding is a common choice, hydroseeding comes with an array of benefits for your property. Consider the guide below on why you should choose this grass seeding method.

Why Should You Choose Hydroseeding?

1. Even Coverage

Hydroseeding uses a dye in the slurry when applying grass seeding, making it easier to see which areas have been covered and which haven’t. This ensures that there are no uneven areas, which is common with broadcast techniques. The result is more even spreading and fewer chances of bare or missed spots.

2. Quick & Efficient

The mixture is sprayed across your property, leading to more efficient, fast results. Since it is set more quickly, you may see growth as early as five days. Also, because of the spray and the bonding compounds used, the slurry adheres to soil instantly so that the seeds can take root almost immediately. There is also extra moisture in the mix to encourage faster sprouting and germination.

3. Less Erosion

Hydroseeding slurry includes mulch, which gives the lawn a built-in erosion control since mulch is known for slowing down the process of soil and seeds from being washed away by wind and water. The protection that it provides continues even after it hardens and the seeds begin to come in.

4. Customization

Hydroseeding provides an opportunity to customize the seeds for different parts of your property. Grass seeding experts will assess the soil composition and climate so that your lawn has the best choice for each section. The spray also reduces the overlapping of different seeds, affording you a clean separation for a healthy lawn.

5. Safe Application

The slurry is nontoxic and there are no problematic side effects when you choose this approach. The surrounding environment, and the wildlife, are safe, and your pets and children can play without any issue once the seeds are set.
