There are many variables to consider when determining how turf should be established on a site. There are advantages and disadvantages to each method.

Hydroseeding can be use anywhere turf or groundcover establishment is required.

Hydroseeding is a grass planting process. This grass planting process is fast, efficient, and economical. The process is frequently more effective than conventional seeding or stolonizing and more economical than conventional plugging or sodding.

The process begins by mixing mulch, seed (or sprigs), fertilizer, and water in a tank. Then the material is pumped from the tank and sprayed onto the ground. The mixed material is often referred to as a slurry, and looks very similar to green paper mache.

The term "Hydroseeding" is a generic term which is often used to describe many hydraulic planting techniques. Actually…Hydroseeding is technically the term used to describe the application of a slurry, which is a mixture of water, grass seed, fertilizer, and fiber mulch to a site where turf is desired. Hydromulching is the same process, except it denotes using a heavier slurry. If live grass stolons (sprigs) are used, it is referred to as hydrosprigging.

Both wood and paper mulches are white in color. The green dye is used to help see where and how much is applied on all types of soils. The darker color will also aid in heat absorption promoting quicker seed germination.

No! Hydroseeding has been around since 1953.
