WHY HYDROSEED? 

Do you want a high quality lawn without the high cost and hard work of laying sod? Then hydroseeding is your answer!

  • Hydroseeding your lawn can save more than 50% of the cost of sod! Hydroseeding is a great option when trying to grow grass on very large areas, steep hillsides, etc. where maintenance, cost and erosion are all issues.

  • Hydroseeding is less maintenance as well, when you apply sod you need to maintain it on a regular day to day basis so it does not die and burn which can encourage weed growth. Although hydroseeding requires water and care it is not as essential and as long as there is some moisture in the soil for the seeds to absorb they will still grow in.

  • In some cases when you may want to repair a section of your lawn, hydroseeding is a more practical solution mainly because sod leaves a noticeable line with other established grass in the area and may stay like that for quite some time before it blends in. When hydroseeding the section you wont have a visible line as your new hydroseed grass will blend in and root together with the other established grass


Are you tired of hand seeding your lawn over and over again due to weather, animals, or germination problems?

  • Hyrdoseeding is more effective than hand seeding. When you hydroseed you create a mini greenhouse effect for each and every seed promoting nearly 100% seed germination. 

  • Seeds have a protective mulch layer to help seal in moisture and to help protect the seeds from elements such as heavy winds, rains and animals.

  • The hydroseed application is sprayed into the ground to embed the seeds much deeper, when you do this the seeds have a much better chance to root properly ensuring a well established lawn. By hand seeding you're only applying the seeds to the top surface where the roots will have a much harder time trying to root and germinate.

FACT!

Fertilizer is sprayed along with the seeds to help the roots establish quicker and stronger. All of this is done by Willseed to guarantee that you will have the healthiest and most luscious lawn possible.

OVERSEEDING 

If you want to thicken up your existing lawn or fill in some bare spots then over seeding might be what you're looking for. If your existing lawn is only sparse in some small areas this may work for you. Instead of removing all the grass and starting from scratch sometimes we can save what is there and bring it back to life by using  an overseeding mix with fast germinating grass as well as mulch and glue to help seal in moisture and most importantly a fertilizer to not only help establish the new gras but also to enhance the old existing grass.

 HYDROSEEDING

Specializing in residential and commercial

Hydroseeding is a uniform application made of four main components that are mixed and sprayed onto prepared soil. The hydroseeding mixture includes grass seed, mulch, fertilizer and a bonding agent. Most of the applications are with grass seed to make or to repair lawns however there are other options as well like wildflowers, clover and many different varieties of grass seed. 

After application, the areas sprayed will appear to have a light blue colour. This is simply meant to show adequate coverage of the soil to ensure that the grass will grow in thick and healthy in all areas. After a couple of days the colour will fade and the mulch which was once moist and slippery, will become hard like paper mache which is meant to help seal in moisture, aswell as protect and keep the seeds and soil in place. As the sun and water work together, the seeds will begin to germinate and mature into a healthy beautiful lawn.

There are different seed mixtures with different amounts of seeds in them, you will begin to see sprouts of grass within 8 to 12 days this is only part of the mixture coming through. On average it takes a good 4-5 weeks before all grass will germinate fully from the initial spray date as long as steady watering and care is followed in the process. Depending on the nature of the soil the seed may germinate quicker which means you may have an established lawn before the end of a month.

EROSION CONTROL

Willseed also provides a wide variety of products to assist in slope stabilization and erosion control. The products used are dependent on the slope of the terrain and the nature of the local soil. You can choose a faster germinating seed or even some white clover which will all assist in erosion, we spray this seed with thicker mulch and more tacking agent all to ensure no seed, soil, or fertilizer will be washed away.
