Hydroseeding is a method of seed planting that will ensure your plants are set to grow in a short amount of time. The process allows you to plant large amounts of seeds throughout a vast space, saving you time and effort. Consider the guide below on why you should place this process at the top of your list of gardening and landscaping practices. 

What Is Hydroseeding and How Does It Work? 

Also known as hydro-mulching or hydraulic mulch seeding, the idea behind hydroseeding combines seeds, mulch, fertilizer, and soil into one thick mixture. This results in a mulch slurry rich in nutrients that grass and plants need to thrive. After clearing the area of weeds, sticks, stones, and debris, load the mixture into a tank on a truck or trailer, then pump it onto the ground as you drive the vehicle around the area, or spray it from the tank using a hose. If you have any planting soil, you can add a layer of it to the ground before dispensing the hydroseeding slurry to add additional nutrients. 

What Are the Benefits? 

Since hydroseeding can be accomplished by either spraying it manually or pumping it from a truck or trailer, it's ideal for any terrain, saving you the time and effort you would have otherwise spent on more traditional methods of seeding. It’s also a quick and easy way to ensure that the grass and plants receive ample nutrients, which is especially important for dead or patchy areas that need extra attention. You’ll find that hydroseeding significantly helps dead grass and gardening areas grow rapidly and healthily. Also, not only is this process simple and low-maintenance, but it prevents erosion, wind, and sunlight from damaging your lawn or garden, since the layer of mixture blocks out intense heat, and debris from blowing onto your plants.
