HYDROSEEDING

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 3-5 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.
