Feed, mulch, fertilize and water your new lawn - all at once!
If you need to install a new lawn for your home or commercial property, there's no better way to do it than by hydro-seeding. What is hydro-seeding? It's a process in which seed, fertilizer, mulch and water are mixed together with sophisticated machinery and applied over prepared soil.
No other approach gives you healthier grass faster and more cost effectively
What makes hydro-seeding the best approach for installing a new lawn? The coverage is thick and consistent. It's also more resistant to disease and requires less watering than other types of turf installation. In addition, the chances of erosion with hydro-seeding are more remote than with normal seeding. The planting season can extend from March to December.
What is hydro-seeding? It is a process whereby seed, water, fertilizer, and mulch are mixed together within sophisticated machinery and applied (blown) over prepared soil. In one application, the ground is seeded, mulched, fertilized, and watered.
Proper Care for Your Hydro-seeded Lawn
- Watering - Water all hydro-seeded areas in the morning and evening approximately 1/2 hour in each area until growth is established (7 to 10 days). Then cut back to just morning watering. Note: evening watering should be done early enough so grass can dry out before dark, approximately 5-7pm.
- Cutting - Cut at 3" (do not let growth exceed 5" before cutting). Cutting weekly (if at least 3") promotes growth. Do not bag clippings; they supply nutrients and seed.
- Fertilizing - Fertilize every 4 weeks for two years throughout April-October. Recommended concentration is 7 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. of 19-19-19 fertilizer.
- Weed Control - May and August are the times to get rid of weeds. We recommend that you apply a weed control whether you have a weed problem or not (granular or liquid method).
- Crab Grass Control - Apply Pre-Emergent Crab Grass Control, one time per year in late March or early April.
