What Are the Benefits of Hydroseeding?

Benefits

• Hydroseeding is economical, fast, easy to care for, creates more resilient grass and is almost weed-free.

Features

• Hydroseeding creates a lawn that can hold up to ten times its weight in moisture, making this a viable method for erosion control and a good choice for drier climates where water might be scarce.

Costs

• The process of hydroseeding costs up to 80 percent less than installing sod, according to Finn Material Transfer Service, a company that offers commercial landscaping products.

Considerations

• Hydroseeded lawns tend to be healthier and have better coverage than other methods, because the seeds are started in the soil where you want the grass to grow and establish deeper roots. The method doesn't require transplanting grass like sod does, so a hydroseeded lawn isn't prone to drying out.

Fun Fact

• The grass on most golf courses is hydroseeded because of the smooth consistency hydroseeding produces.
