Hydroseeding is a great option to save money when looking to grow new grass. Compared to sod that is priced around $1.25 per square foot, hydroseeding is a very attractive option.

When preparing for any hydroseeding service, clients should ensure their lawn is ready for Liquid Green by removing any existing vegetation, weeds, debris, soil clumps and rocks. This allows easy access for the team to come in to your property and hydroseed. Additionally, the soil prep is just as important as the hydroseed. Clients should ensure that the soil is properly graded and ready for the hydroseeding process. At Liquid Green we will provide specific guidelines and recommendations to our clients to ensure a successful and hassle-free hydroseeding project.

Hydroseeding, under specific conditions or improper execution, can result in failure. Liquid Green hydroseeding service boasts an impressive success rate, consistently surpassing expectations. Our secret lies in meticulous preparation and soil assessment, ensuring the ideal environment for seed germination. Liquid Green technicians, specialized in hydroseeding, possess the expertise to overcome challenges and tailor solutions for each project. We prioritize thorough soil testing, utilizing premium seed blends and fertilizers best suited to the specific conditions. This attention to detail, coupled with professional application techniques, guarantees a successful outcome. There is a high rate of failure associated with hydro grass seed due to inadequate preparation and the soil environment. We transform the high rate of hydroseeding failure into a history of accomplishments, delivering lush, healthy landscapes that thrive.

Effective weed control is essential as the site must be meticulously cleared of all existing grasses and weeds before hydroseeding service can commence. Hydroseeding is not an efficient method for eradicating weeds; instead, it's ideal for establishing new, healthy vegetation on a well-prepared surface. Proper site preparation ensures that the hydroseed lawn is free from weed competition, allowing the new grass to grow vigorously and without hindrance.

The growth of hydroseed grass typically follows a timeline: Germination of hydroseed lawn in 5 to 10 days, visible growth within 2 to 3 weeks, and full establishment in 6 to 8 weeks, although this timeline can vary. For more details, visit how long for grass seed to grow.

Hydroseeding costs are project-specific and can vary widely. Factors like project size, seed selection, soil conditions, and any additional services all influence the overall cost. To ensure accurate pricing, Liquid Green offers free, no-obligation quotes. Our experts assess your project's unique requirements and tailor a cost-effective solution to fit your budget.

While light rain may only wash away the green dye, hydroseeding service can be vulnerable to washout during heavy rain or torrential downpours. In such conditions, it's essential to note that a complete washout cannot be guaranteed.

Water regularly: The irrigation system should have total coverage and should water evenly for best results. Check for head-to-head coverage, low and high spots. If you are watering by hand, do your best to over water the seeded area (overlap). Either watering method should be capable of watering an average of 2-5 times per day during the germination period.

Prepare the soil: As necessary, bring in a good quality top soil and or rototill amendments into the areas you plan for our hydroseeding services. Use caution when considering the addition of recycled wood compost. This material can contain weed seed which you do not want to introduce to your site as the weeds will choke out your lawn. Also, recycled wood compost will take up nitrogen necessary for good germination of new seedlings.

Eliminate weeds: Remove undesired vegetation from the area. Water & fertilize the area to germinate weed seed. This will also show you if you have head-to-head coverage or not. Dry areas will not grow hydroseed grass as quickly. Once the weeds have sprouted, typically within 7 to 14 days, you can choose to either use a contact weed killer such as Round-Up to spray the weeds, or opt for manual weed removal by hand. Pre-seed irrigation and weed kill/removal may take more than one cycle depending on your site and soil used.

Post-hydroseeding care: After grass hydroseeding, all surface areas must be kept continually moist with frequent light watering (season & weather dependent).

Water 2-5 times per day for premium results. Try not to allow germinating seedlings, including hydro grass, to dry out or they could die.

Once seed has germinated, and growth is established, water should be applied with less frequency, but for longer periods of time. Promoting deep root growth involves establishing deep watering.

To maintain a healthy lawn, consider mowing the grass every 7-10 days, and enhance its vitality by applying a balanced fertilizer 1-3 times annually.

Regular mowing will manage weeds and push lateral growth, creating a tight stand of grass.

Water Regularly: Ensure your irrigation system provides comprehensive and even coverage for optimal results. Carefully examine for uniform head-to-head coverage while also checking for variations in elevation. If you're manually watering, make sure to apply a generous amount of water to the seeded area, allowing for overlap. Both watering methods should have the capacity to irrigate an average of 2-5 times per day during the germination period.

Soil Preparation: When necessary, introduce high-quality topsoil and consider incorporating soil amendments via rototilling into the areas designated for our hydroseeding services. Exercise caution when contemplating the use of recycled wood compost, as it may contain weed seeds that you wouldn't want to introduce to your site, potentially competing with your lawn. Additionally, recycled wood compost can absorb the essential nitrogen needed for successful germination of new seedlings.

Weed Management: Efficiently remove undesirable vegetation from the area. Initiate watering and fertilization to stimulate weed seed germination. This process will also serve as a diagnostic tool for assessing head-to-head coverage. Note that arid regions may impede the growth of hydroseed grass. Following weed germination (typically within 7-14 days), employ a contact weed killer such as Round-Up or manually eliminate the weeds. Depending on your site and soil conditions, the pre-seed irrigation and weed control processes may require multiple cycles. Post-Hydroseeding Care: Subsequent to the hydroseeding of grass, it is imperative to maintain constant surface moisture through frequent, light watering, considering the specific season and prevailing weather conditions. For optimal results during the germination phase, aim to water 2-5 times daily. Avoid allowing germinating seedlings, including hydroseeded grass, to desiccate, as this could result in their demise.

Once seed germination has occurred and growth is established, reduce the frequency of watering while extending the duration of each watering session. This encourages the development of deep root systems. Regular mowing, approximately every 7-10 days, should be practiced. Additionally, apply a balanced fertilizer 1-3 times per year to support the lawn's sustained health and vigor. Consistent mowing will help manage weeds and stimulate lateral growth, creating a dense, well-established stand of grass.
