Hydro Seeding - what is it?
Hydro seeding is a grass planting process. This process is fast, efficient, and economical. The process is more effective than conventional seeding and more economical than conventional sodding. The process begins by preparing a batch of material consisting of mulch, seed, fertilizer and water. The batch of material is mixed in the tank of a Hydro seeding machine, and then pumped from the tank and sprayed onto the ground. After being sprayed onto the soil, the material appears as a green foam or soil coating. The mulch material enhances initial growth by providing a micro-environment beneficial to seed germination. The mulch holds the seed in place on the ground and helps hold moisture in the soil. Mulch also moderates the impact of raindrop impact.
Hydro Seeding vs conventional seeding methods:
Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. Seeding, without the protection of mulch, is less expensive than Hydro seeding. Seeding, without mulch, may be the method of choice due to budget constraints. However, the results will be less dependable, and in fact offer significant risk of failure. Sodding, will provide solid coverage of grass immediately. If properly watered, the probability of success is practically certain. However, the amount of money required for turf sodding may be twice the cost of Hydro seeding. Hydro seeding, does not provide instant grass of solid sod. However, Hydro seeding can frequently provide a full coverage of grass within an acceptable time frame. The cost of Hydro seeding process and the probability of getting good results is dependent upon the quality of mulch used. The probability of getting a perfect stand of grass also depends upon the irrigation or rainfall. Under reasonable conditions, and with the very best mulch, applied at heavy rates, Hydro seeding will provide an excellent stand of grass at 25% to 50% less than the cost of solid sod.
When to Hydro seed:
Spring, Summer or Fall. Each season will give you different results. Spring, gives you a head start on a full lawn ready for summer and fall. With the arrival of fall weather comes a thickening of the newly seeded areas. Summer, is an excellent time to Hydro seed. Watering twice daily, an established lawn will be apparent in the fall along with the cooler nights. Fall, Hydro seeding will produce a nice lawn for the following spring. The lawn will begin thin, but will thicken and fill in for the following spring.
Care and maintenance:
The success of growing grass is almost always related to water, either too much or not enough. If water is scarce, a good mulch helps the soil to absorb moisture and then insulate the soil, making that moisture is available for the plant as long as possible. Soil moisture is key to germination and initial growth. If too much water comes at one time, such as heavy rains or too much watering, the seed must be held in place. A good mulch is an erosion resistant material, and reduces or eliminates soil erosion. Erosion control is a key function of good mulch material. Mulch can be the great water moderator, and the probability of growing grass successfully is enhanced with a good mulch application. Water a spring installation once daily for at least 20 minutes. Water a summer installation twice a day for at least 20 minutes. Once early morning and again late afternoon or evening. Water a fall installation once a day for at least 20 minutes. Results will materialize the following spring, but watering must be done in fall.
Care and watering Newly Hydro Seeded Lawn!
However your new lawn is installed care is very important, particularly for the first month. Successful seed germination depends on a few days of special care. To assure proper germination water regularly. We suggest two times a day in warm weather. Keeping the yard moist will maximize seed germination. You may walk on the Hydro seeded surface when watering. Try to walk only on areas that are dry, and try to not disturb the mulch mat. By watering regularly and keeping your new seedlings from drying out you insure the beginnings of a lawn that will make your neighbors green with envy.
Mowing:
Mowing can begin once the new lawn is 3" tall in most areas. Mowing stimulates growth and increases thickness. Set the mower high at first, then gradually lower. Try to cut no more than 1/3 of the grass at a time. It is normal for weed seeds in your soil to germinate and grow faster than your new grass. As soon as ANY weeds are 3" tall, MOW them and use a grass catcher. Mowing will stunt the growth of weeds and your new lawn will soon over take them.
Fertilizing:
About one month after seeding, fertilize your new lawn using a high nitrogen (the first of the 3 numbers on the bag) fertilizer. The contractor who installed your lawn used a high phosphorus or "starter fertilizer" when Hydro seeding your lawn. The phosphorus will stimulate root growth, and in the early stages it is important to get good root growth before you stimulate a vigorous top growth with nitrogen.
