Background:
Hydroseeding of slopes, road right-of-ways, and large grassy areas around county complexes, parks, and schools is more economical than the standard methods of grassing or seeding. Hydroseeding has an added benefit to road rights-of-ways as it also stabilizes slopes and other “hard to access” areas. Hydroseeding soils hold moisture better, which allows for the seeds to germinate faster. Hydroseeded lawns that are correctly watered can start to grow in less than 7 days, and under normal conditions, can be established and ready to mow in 3-4 weeks.
