To Hydroseed or sod is the question?
Here's a test to help
you decide.
Hydro-seeding (hydroseeding) is a fast, cost-efficient grass planting process that can offer better results than conventional seeding at a lower cost than sodding. This technique provides fine, high quality turf perfectly suited to new luxury home construction, golf courses, and several other applications where high-quality results are required. Best of all, Hydro-seeding (hydroseeding) can provide these results at half to one third of the price of sodding.
During the Hydro-seeding (hydroseeding) process, mulch, seed, water and fertilizer are combined together in a Hydro-seeding (hydroseeding) machine, resulting in a material which is commonly referred to as slurry. The slurry is applied to the ground, providing a beneficial environment for seed germination and growth. When applied to a smooth surface, the result is an equally smooth, green, manicured lawn, much like those found on golf courses.
The importance of mulch
The mulch material used in Hydro-seeding (hydroseeding) is usually made of wood or recycled paper. Specific fiber texture is important for maximum protection from erosion and in ensuring that the mulch can be pumped through a Hydro-seeding (hydroseeding) machine. The mulch is dyed green both for aesthetic purposes and in order to monitor application thickness.
Soil moisture is an extremely important factor in grass planting because grass seeds need moisture to germinate and grow. Once initial irrigation is supplied through watering, mulch helps the grass seed to obtain the most beneficial effects of that moisture. The most common reason for poor seed growth is a lack of moisture during critical growth cycles.
Mulch also plays a
critical role in prevention of soil erosion. Flowing water can wash away
seeds and create breaks in grass coverage. Mulch helps to bind seed and
soil together, helping to maintain smooth, even turf. A tackifier can be
used to provide additional protection from erosion by essentially gluing the
seed and soil together.
