FAQ

answer any question you may have concerning the services we offer. If you cannot find the answer to a question
you are looking for email us or call us today!
What is hydromulching?
Hydromulching (or hydroseeding) is a planting process which utilizes an applied slurry of water, seed
and a wood fiber mulch. The slurry contains the necessary vitamins and fertilizers needed to boost
the germination of the grass seed. Hydromulching is significantly cheaper than sod and grass growth
occurs much quicker than just spreading grass seed. The wood fiber mulch ensures the seeds stay in
place during watering and normal rain showers and helps the seeds retain needed moisture for
germination.
How much does hydromulching cost?
Pricing is wholly dependent upon the size of the area and the type of grass seed used. Typically a
customer can expect to see savings up to 60% less than a comparable sod solution. Contact us for a

How long does it take the grass to grow?
The answer to this question is dependant upon the type of grass seed used in hydromulching. You
can have seed germination at the end of week one and grass growing in under 2 weeks. You can
realistically expect to be mowing grass in 3 to 4 weeks.
What types of grasses can I choose from?
There are several types of grass seed to choose from and our trained associates will cover each type
and we will recommend the one best suited for your application need. Bahia, Common Bermuda,
Turf-grade Bermuda, Centipede, Zoysia, German Millet, Fescue and Rye are all available. Each type
of seed has a different germination period and some are only suitable for a specific application.
Will the rain wash away the grass seed?
When applied by a trained application specialist the seeds will stay in place even when it rains.
Hydromulching has been used for decades, even on severe slopes.
Can you hydromulch over existing lawns and weeds?
The answer to this question is a simple "yes" but it is not recommended. Since the hydromulch slurry
contains vitamins and fertilizers the existing weeds and grasses will continue to grow. Our
recommendation for an established yard is to kill all weeds and grasses using a commercially
available weed/grass killer prior to hydromulching.
Do I have to do anything after the hydromulching application?
Water, Water, Water! Did we mention the need to water your new lawn after the hydromulch has been
applied!?! The proper amount of water is the key to good germination. It is up to the
homeowner/business to provide the needed moisture through watering. While the hydromulch
application will hold in moisture longer than just dirt, you will still need to water your new lawn. Our
application specialist will go over the specifics on watering your new lawn at the completion of the job.
Will my new lawn be weed free?
Hydromulching will produce lawns that are almost weed free. While we apply a weed free application,
there are almost always weed seeds present in your soil, and when the fertilizers are applied they
could sprout.
