COMMERCIAL HYDROSEEDING

WHAT IS HYDROSEEDING


ASPM can help you decide which type of lawn is best for your ground and best for your budget. The majority of lawns that ASPM puts in are with a hydro-seeder. Hydro-seeding is a fast, cost effective way to have a new lawn. Germination time will depend on the weather, the time of year, the amount of water, the area you live in and other factors. Usually grass will be visible in 5-7 days, but a few days slower in cold weather or the hottest part of summer. Hydro-seeding is really a pretty simple process. Water, seed, fertilizer and a protective mulch are mixed together in a sprayer tank and then sprayed onto the ground. The process of spraying allows for seed to be applied to many surfaces at many angles in both small and large areas. Now with new roads being built through hills instead of over or around, conventional seeding techniques cannot seed the steep slopes created during the construction. However, the use of a hydro seeder provides the answer. Steep slopes can be easily sprayed and costly erosion minimized. If hydro-seeding is not the answer for your lawn, ASPM can help you decide which alternative option would be the best fit.

Hydroseeding Care Guide
  • After the seeding application, wait a minimum of 24 hours to water 
  • After waiting the initial 24 hours water so that the lawn stays damp 
    • 8-10 minutes, 2-3 times/ day
    • This ensures the quickest germination rate
    • Do NOT overwater! This will drown out the root system & cause slow and sparse germination
  • The new lawn should be mowed once grass blades are 2-3" high
    • Usually 4-6 weeks after seeding
    • Mow to a height of 2.5" to 3"
    • Ensure mower blades are sharp so new grass blades are not torn
  • After mowing once or twice, reduce watering to 1-3 times per week
  • Mowing frequently encourages the formation of horizontal growth
    • This will result in your lawn filling in more quickly
  • Keep people and pet traffic to a minimum for 2-3 months
  • Do not use herbicides for the first 2-3 months
  • Fertilize with a well-balanced fertilizer 45 days after seeding 

TESTIMONIAL


"Matt and the guys did a very nice job and the internal contractor evaluation that I fill out will reflect that. The hydro-mulching they did was the best seeding solution we could have done on the steep slopes we had to work with. I never rate a company as the very best...so I give a 4.5 (out of 5), which is very high for me, and I have told our engineering group we need to consider your company for future projects. Thanks again for all the fine work...you are on the top of my list for seeding large projects."
