Why Hydroseed?
Hydroseeding offers several advantages compared to other methods of establishing vegetation. Here are some reasons why you might consider hydroseeding:
- Faster and Uniform Germination: Hydroseeding promotes faster germination compared to traditional seeding methods. The slurry mixture provides optimal conditions for seed germination, including moisture and nutrients. This results in quicker establishment of grass or vegetation and a more uniform growth across the seeded area.
- Erosion Control: Hydroseeding helps control soil erosion effectively. The slurry mixture forms a protective layer over the soil, preventing it from being washed away by rain or wind. This is particularly beneficial on slopes, construction sites, and areas prone to erosion, as it helps stabilize the soil and reduce sediment runoff.
- Cost-Effective: Hydroseeding is often more cost-effective compared to alternative methods such as laying sod. The equipment and materials required for hydroseeding are typically less expensive, making it a more affordable option for large areas. It also requires less labor compared to traditional hand-seeding methods. Hydroseeding is roughly 75% less expensive than laying sod.
- Customizable Seed Mixtures: Hydroseeding allows for the customization of seed mixtures to suit specific soil conditions, climate, and intended use of the area. You can choose the grass or vegetation species that best suits your needs, including factors like drought resistance, shade tolerance, or specific aesthetic requirements.
- Increased Seed Success Rate: The slurry mixture used in hydroseeding contains fertilizer and other additives that promote seed germination and early plant growth. This boosts the chances of seed success and establishment, resulting in a healthier and more resilient lawn or vegetation cover.
- Large Area Coverage: Hydroseeding is particularly advantageous when dealing with large areas that need to be seeded. The hydroseeding equipment can cover a wide area quickly and evenly, saving time and effort compared to manual seeding methods.
- Reduced Soil Disturbance: Hydroseeding minimizes soil disturbance compared to other methods like sod installation or mechanical seeding. The slurry is sprayed onto the soil surface without the need for extensive digging or tilling, preserving the existing soil structure and minimizing disruption to the landscape.
Remember that successful hydroseeding requires proper site preparation, appropriate seed selection, and post-seeding maintenance, such as regular watering and weed control. Consulting with a professional hydroseeding service like us can help ensure optimal results for your specific project.
At BV we are experts at the Hydroseeding or Hydromulch process of combining the correct blend of grass seed of your choice, paper or wood mulch, spraying the application on the ground surface in a uniform manner to create a mat or blanket effect. Fertilizers, tactifers etc. can be added if needed.After your blend of Hydromulch has been sprayed ,the seeds will start there germentation process. This is relatively fast because the mulch helps hold the moisture and speed this process up.
We specialize in landscaping, highway and slope stabilization, reclamation of disturbed lands, and erosion control on construction sites. It offers several advantages over traditional seeding methods, such as faster and more uniform germination, reduced erosion, and the ability to customize seed mixtures to specific soil and environmental conditions. You will typically have grass in 7-10 days.
