A sprayed slurry of seed, mulch and nutrients for large areas, slopes and budget-conscious lawns.
Hydroseeding is a way of planting grass using water. A truck-mounted tank mixes grass seed, paper or wood mulch, fertilizer and a tackifier into a green slurry, which is sprayed evenly over prepared ground. The mulch holds moisture, protects the seed and sticks to slopes, while the green color shows exactly where the coverage is.
It is a good choice for large lawns, open fields, slopes and areas where sod would cost more than the budget allows. It is not as instant as sod and needs careful watering while it sprouts, but when it is done properly on well-prepared soil, it grows into a dense lawn at a fraction of the cost. We prepare the ground, choose seed to match your sun and use, apply the mix and give you a simple watering plan. We will also tell you when sod is the better answer.
Seed, mulch, fertilizer and tackifier are applied together, so seed has moisture and protection from the start.
The tackifier helps the mulch stay put on banks and hills where loose seed would wash away.
For large areas, hydroseeding often costs much less than sod while still giving a good, even lawn.
It takes a few weeks to fill in and needs careful watering. If you want an instant lawn, sod is the better fit.

You tell us about your yard and what you want, a new lawn, a fix for a worn one or a turf area, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We walk the property, measure each area, check sun, shade, soil and drainage and take photos of anything of note.
We explain your options for sod, turf or both, and give you a written scope with quantities, timing and clear pricing.
We mark utilities, remove old turf, set the grade, loosen and improve the soil and build the base before anything new goes down.
We lay sod in tight, staggered rows or install turf over a compacted stone base, with clean edges and tight seams.
We clean up, roll or brush the surface, walk you through the watering and care plan and set a reminder for your next check.
It can make a strong lawn, but it takes weeks to establish. Sod is instant and costs more.
Fescue often sprouts in one to two weeks, and the lawn fills in over the next several weeks.
Yes, because the mulch and tackifier hold seed in place better than loose seed.
It needs light, frequent watering until the grass sprouts and roots, then less often.
Early fall for fescue and late spring for warm-season grasses.
