Hydroseeding vs New Lawn Seeding - Which Option Is Better?

Do you want to fill your property with new, beautiful grass? If so, look no further than hydroseeding! Hydroseeding is a great option for property owners in South Dakota who want to grow a new, lush lawn in less time than traditional methods. Unlike new lawn seeding, hydroseeding involves mixing seeds, mulch, and fertilizer in a slurry that is sprayed directly onto the soil. This ensures an even and consistent distribution of seeds, resulting in optimal coverage with no bare spots. Additionally, the hydroseeding mix sticks to the soil better than just seeds alone, so there is less risk of rain or irrigation systems washing them away.

Hydroseeding produces faster results than new lawn seeding.

Hydroseeding is becoming the go-to option for planting grass due to its fast results. The process involves spraying a special slurry mix onto prepared soil. The slurry contains a combination of mulch, seeds, and starter fertilizer, which ensures that they germinate much faster than traditional methods, like new lawn seeding. After all, that method simply involves spreading grass seeds alone without any nutrient-rich additions to help them along. Fortunately, with quicker establishment via hydroseeding, you can boast a lush and green lawn in no time.

Hydroseeding provides better soil coverage for a more uniform lawn.

Hydroseeding is considered to be the most ideal way to grow a lawn due to its ability to provide an even and consistent distribution of seed. New lawn seeding often results in patchy or uneven lawns with bare spots, as they aren't always applied evenly. However, with hydroseeding, the seed is distributed evenly through the nutrient-rich slurry that is sprayed across the entire area. This results in more uniform coverage with no unsightly bare spots, creating a more visually appealing and full lawn.

Hydroseeding helps the grass seed bond to the soil better.

Because the components of the hydroseeding slurry include mulch, seeds, and starter fertilizer, the mixture is able to stick to the soil better than just grass seeds alone. This is because it also includes a tackifier, which adheres it to the soil and keeps it in place. This means that you don't have to worry as much about rain or irrigation systems washing away the seeds before they have a chance to germinate. The same can't be said about new lawn seeding, as they are simply spread across the surface without anything keeping them in place. As a result, fewer seeds will grow into grass due to runoff. By using hydroseeding, you can rest assured that the seeds that are planted will have the best chance to grow into a beautiful lawn, without the risk of being washed away or wasted due to poor seeding techniques.
