Advantages of Hydroseeding your yard

Have you ever driven on an interstate or byway that has recently been excavated? These days, instead of seeing hay matting, you may see a bright blue covered ground. What is this? It is hydroseeding, a fairly new technology that has been used since the 1940s. It was invented by Maurice Mandell in Connecticut— you can read more about the history here.

Advantages of Hydroseeding:

• Hay and seeding jobs are often not as effective.

• Matting is also expensive.

• Much less mess for the customer because with hydroseeding there is no hay and straw blowing around.

• Hydroseeing pellets cause the grass seeds to implant and grow more quickly and more evenly.

• It also grows on slopes better.

• It retains and bonds better with the ground, so it gives you better erosion protection.

• It’s easier to put fertilizer in to hydroseeded ground because you get better coverage when you can mix in the fertilizer with the hydroseed pellets.

• It looks more professional when done.

Potential Drawbacks:

• It’s harder to get the hydroseeding equipment into small spaces

• Hydroseeding is more expensive due to the higher level of technology and equipment required.
