Asked Questions: |

What
is hydroseeding? |
Hydroseeding is the process of using water to apply a
mixture of seed and mulch (that have been mixed in a tank) to soil to
rapidly establish a cover of vegetation using a hydroseeding machine. |
|
Why
choose hydroseeding? |
There are many
reasons to choose hydroseeding. Hydroseeding
costs less than sod (generally half the price of installed sod). It is tailored to
each site's condition. No undesirable seeds are sown, as are often inadvertently
sown with sod
(soil at sod farms can contain unwanted seeds from previous plant life).
While sod may provide an immediate "fix", it is often only
temporary. Hydroseeding can offer greater success than conventional
seeding with a higher germination rate as well as better protection from erosion.
Seeding with straw as mulch also introduces unwanted weed seeds.
Hydroseeding provides the best return for the investment in the long term. |

How
do I know I'm getting what is needed? |
We custom
mix and apply according to the individual needs of each customer's site. |
|
When
is the best time to seed? |
Any
season, spring, summer or fall is a good time for seeding.
The
hot summer months offer excellent results when ample moisture is provided by methods such as irrigating, sprinkling, watering or even
rain. Germination occurs in less than a week with good
conditions. Late summer and early fall offer the better seeding
window for the Midwest climate. |
|
What
is hydraulic soil stabilization? |
Hydraulic
soil stabilization is the prevention of
soil erosion by applying mixtures that contain combinations of seed, mulch and tackifier
(glue) to areas, such as steep slopes, that are prone to erosion from rains or
even flat areas subject to wind. |
|

safe while giving great results. We also offer and promote organic
products. |
