Hydroseeding involves combining seed, fertilizer, and mulching products with water and using pressure to apply the slurry to yards, resulting in grass growth. Lawn care companies may provide this service as an alternative to sodding, or installing pre-grown turf panels on the soil. Below, you'll learn more about the advantages of lawn seeding.

4 Perks of Hydroseeding

1. Quick Results 

Once a lawn service applies the slurry, grass seeds typically germinate within five to seven days. Though the amount of time it takes for grass to fill out your lawn depends on the species, many varieties reach full growth within the first few months. You can promote growth by staying off your lawn until grass matures, which may prevent bare or damaged patches. 

2. Thorough Coverage 

Lawn care professionals use spray guns to broadcast the slurry over your yard. This makes it easy to access steep hills and tight areas, which can ensure complete grass coverage. 

Since the guns may have a wide and far-reaching spray range, they can thoroughly cover larger outdoor spaces. Additionally, you won't have to worry about seams showing, such as between sod panels that don't properly integrate. 

3. Healthier Grass

Since hydroseeding involves applying pressure, it can help seeds sink more deeply into the soil. This may allow roots to extend deeper into the earth and access essential nutrients for healthy grass growth. Additionally, since lawn services spray plenty of water with the seeds, this extra hydration can assist with the formation of secondary roots, which helps grass absorb water and nutrients. 

The slurry also includes fertilizing agents such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. These support the growth of strong tissues, promote energy storage, and increase disease resistance. 

4. Reduced Risk of Erosion 

Mulch and soil conditioners in the slurry encourage seeds to bind to the earth after application. This strong bond can support the growth of deep and dense roots that hold the earth in place, which may prevent erosion-related damages to your lawn caused by wind and rain.
