WHAT IS HYDROSEEDING?
Hydroseeding is a planting process that involves spraying a slurry of seed, mulch, fertilizer, and water onto a prepared soil surface. This method is commonly used for erosion control, re-vegetation, and lawn establishment. The slurry helps to retain moisture and protect the seeds from wind, water erosion, and wildlife, while the mulch provides nutrients and helps to create a favorable environment for seed germination.

PREP WORK
Before the hydroseeding process can begin, there are several steps that need to be taken to prepare the area. First, the soil needs to be tested to determine its pH level and nutrient content. This will help determine what type of seed and fertilizer to use. Next, any existing vegetation needs to be removed and the soil needs to be tilled to create a loose medium for proper seed germination. Finally, any large rocks or debris need to be removed from the area to ensure a successful hydroseeding process.
HOW IT WORKS
WHY HYDROSEEDING?
HAND SEEDING
SOD
HYDROSEEDING
- Hand seeding can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially for larger areas.
- The results may be inconsistent, as it can be difficult to ensure even distribution of seeds.
- Not suitable for steep slopes or areas with poor soil quality.
- Sodding can be expensive compared to other methods of establishment.
- Takes longer for roots to establish and gaps to fill in (checkerboard effect)
- Higher risk of disease and pest problems compared to other methods of lawn establishment.
- Allows for even distribution of seeds and nutrients, resulting in a more uniform and healthy lawn.
- Cost-effective and efficient way to establish vegetation on larger areas of land.
- Great for erosion control on heavy slopes and hard to reach areas.

Southeastern Hydroseed did an incredible job on my backyard. They came out the same week I reached out and was able to provide a solution for my yard at a fraction of the cost of sod. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their yard.

Hands down the best! Would recommend a billion times.
They are so easy to work with & will answer any and all questions. They gave us a very beautiful yard.
