In the late spring to early fall in Texas, when hydroseeding is typically done, there is a possibility that heavy or prolonged rainfall could wash away the hydroseed. While hydroseeding is designed to be resilient and adhere to the soil surface, excessive rainfall can pose challenges for newly applied hydroseed. If the rain occurs shortly […]

Walking on new hydroseed should be avoided as much as possible during the initial establishment period. The hydroseeding process involves applying a mixture of grass seed, water, mulch, and other additives to the soil surface, creating an ideal environment for seed germination and growth. During this critical phase, the new grass seedlings are delicate and

Care and Watering Successful seed germination depends on several days of special care.  To assure proper germination, water regularly.  We suggest at least two times a day in warm/hot weather.  Keeping the yard moist will maximize seed germination.  You may walk on the hydroseeded surface when watering but try not to disturb the mulch mat.  Maintaining high levels of

The time it takes for grass to grow after hydroseeding in Texas can vary depending on several factors, including the grass species, weather conditions, soil conditions, and maintenance practices. Generally, you can expect to see visible growth within 7 to 14 days after hydroseeding. However, it typically takes several weeks for the grass to establish

In Texas, the best time of year for hydroseeding is during the late spring to early fall, specifically from late April to early October. This period aligns with the warm-season grasses’ active growing season, which includes popular varieties like Bermuda grass and Zoysia grass commonly used in the state. Several factors make this time of

A silt fence is a temporary sediment control device used in construction, landscaping, and other projects to prevent the migration of sediment and silt into nearby water bodies, storm drains, or sensitive areas. It is designed to intercept and filter sediment-laden runoff, helping to protect water quality and prevent soil erosion. A silt fence typically

“Soil prep using a skid steer and power rake” refers to a method of preparing the soil for various landscaping or construction projects using specialized equipment. Here’s a breakdown of the process: The process of soil prep using a skid steer and power rake typically involves the following steps: Soil prep using a skid steer

Preparing the ground for your Hydroseeding application Best practice is to have Certified Weed Free Topsoil brought in.  Due to its organic matter, it’s fortified with nutrients and retains moisture which will enhance the success of your hydroseeding.  If bringing in topsoil isn’t an option for you, we recommend you prep your soil by tilling it up

Hydroseeding over dead grass is generally not recommended. For hydroseeding to be successful, it requires proper seed-to-soil contact, which allows the seeds to germinate and establish healthy root systems. Dead grass can create a barrier that prevents the new seeds from reaching the soil and inhibits their ability to grow. If there is dead grass
