Hydro-seeding is an innovative alternative to sowing dry grass seeds. If you want to reinvigorate your property’s landscape before the winter weather starts, hydro-seeding offers several advantages over traditional grass growing techniques. This technique takes a very different approach to grass planting that offers stellar results as well as some surprising additional benefits.

Perrysburg Landscape adds premium products to our hydro-seed specially formulated for Perrysburg/northwest Ohio soil conditions:

  • Tenacity: Hinders weed growth.
  • Hydro-Gel: Helps retain moisture.
  • Tackifier: Help prevent washout during a heavy rain.

What Is Hydro-seeding?

Unlike dry sowing, hydro-seeding uses a moistened mixture of grass seed, mulch fibers, fertilizer, and stabilizing emulsifiers. When you purchase - services, your landscaping technician will spray the mixture using hydro-mulching gear to ensure an even distribution. This technique helps to prevent the most common issues that interfere with traditional grass planting techniques, such as wind erosion and runoff from excessive rain. The heavy mixture of wood fibers and fertilizer helps to create a “blanket” that not only encourages faster growth but also keeps them in place while retaining moisture

What Time of Year Is Best for Hydro-seeding?

Fall is one of the best times of the year to plan hydro-seeding for any property. Hydro-seeding during the fall means the slurry mixture will require less water, and a hydro-seeded lawn should start showing results within just one week. While the lawn may appear a bit thin during the end of the fall, planting at this time helps ensure a vibrant, lush lawn for the following spring. It will look even better the following spring once the lawn has had more time to establish itself.

Benefits of Hydro-seeding

If you’re wondering whether hydro-seeding is a preferable alternative to dry seeding or broadcasting for your lawn, consider the several distinct advantages this innovating planting technique offers:

  1. Hydro-seeding is cost effective, ensuring a lush and beautiful lawn that’s easier to manage than dry seeding in a relatively short time.
  2. A hydro-seeded lawn will have a very strong start thanks to the included fibers, emulsifying agents, and fertilizers included in the mixture that stimulate strong growth.
  3. Hydro-seeding helps prevent dry spots in your lawn; the hydro-mulching equipment used to apply the hydro-seed mixture coats evenly to form a complete mat over the target area.
  4. With a hydro-seeded lawn, you won’t face the same challenges from wind and water erosion as you would with a broadcasted or dry seeded lawn.
  5. Hydro-seeding offers quick results; most property owners notice strong growth within a week and their lawns are ready for their first cuttings within three weeks.
  6. The hydro-seeding process is fast and efficient. Experienced hydro-seeding teams can complete an average sized lawn within a few hours at most.
  7. Hydro-seeding is minimally labor intensive compared to sod planting, dry seeding, or broadcasting.
  8. The hydro-seed mixture includes moisture that helps promote strong growth without much need for additional watering.

Ultimately, hydro-seeding offers faster, better, and more complete results than most traditional grass planting methods. If you’re interested in reseeding your lawn this fall, contact Perrysburg Landscape today to learn more about our hydro-seeding technique.
