Ground Preparation
Preparing the ground is the critical first step in any successful hydroseeding project. Proper preparation ensures optimal seed germination, root development, and a healthy, thriving lawn. Here’s a closer look at our ground preparation services:


Preparing the Ground for Your Hydroseeding Application
1. Topsoil Introduction. We strongly recommend utilizing certified weed-free topsoil. Enriched with organic matter, this topsoil provides a nutrient-rich foundation for your new lawn.
- Benefits:
- Improved Soil Structure: Organic matter enhances soil structure, promoting better drainage and aeration.
- Moisture Retention: Topsoil helps retain moisture, crucial for seed germination and early plant growth.
- Nutrient Release: Organic matter gradually releases nutrients, nourishing your new lawn over time.
2. Soil Preparation. If introducing topsoil isn’t feasible, thorough soil preparation is essential. We recommend tilling the existing soil to a depth of several inches.
- Benefits:
- Improved Soil Texture: Tilling breaks up compacted soil, improving its texture and allowing for better root penetration.
- Weed Control: Tilling can help control existing weeds by bringing them to the surface where they can be removed or smothered.
- Considerations:
- Soil Type: The depth and intensity of tilling will vary depending on the soil type.
3. Grading and Conditioning. For larger projects, we offer fine grading services using specialized equipment like skid steers, soil conditioners, and power rakes.
- Benefits:
- Level Surface: Fine grading creates a level surface, ensuring even seed distribution and water penetration.
- Improved Drainage: Proper grading helps prevent water pooling, which can lead to root rot.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: A well-graded surface creates a more aesthetically pleasing and functional lawn.
