Hydro Seeding Services: Common Questions

What Are the Benefits of Hydro Seeding?

A lot of local property owners choose hydro seeding over traditional planting options because it offers a few key benefits. The slurry process makes for a quicker and more reliable germination, so you can easily cover an entire area with the desired plant. This, in turn, reduces labor costs and gives a better end result. Hydro seeding is also known for providing great erosion control.

Which Native Hawaiian Plants Will Work With My Home?

Native plants are good for the environment, create an authentic look and will thrive better than non-native options. Local and experienced landscaping services should be able to tell you which plants are truly native and will work with your home’s location. They may be indigenous, meaning they are native to Hawaii and other parts of the world, or endemic, which are native only to Hawaii.

What’s Your Background With Native Plants?

Once you know what plant, or plants, you’d like to seed onto your property, you need to know that your landscaper knows what they’re doing. If an inexperienced landscaper puts the native plants in the wrong environment or doesn’t water properly, the planting will fail.

Which Options Have an Ecological Benefit?

If you want to create a space that’s good for the local animals and other plants, your landscaper should be able to help you choose the right flora. For example, they could tell you which plants to use if you want to attract local butterflies, or if you want to provide the nectar a certain type of bird needs. Your participation in habitat restoration can make all the difference for these native animals.
