Liquid grass seed is usually used for areas with exposed, steep slopes or large areas of soil with little to no vegetation. For proper application, hydroseeding can be very beneficial to the successful growth of a lawn and a valuable tool in soil management. Some of the essential benefits of spray-on grass seed include the following: Hydroseeding is a great alternative to seeding and sodding for some homeowners. Here’s why: Hydroseeding is cost-effective for larger lawns and provides a full, consistent result. Dry seeding is the least expensive method and easiest of all three, but on the downside has the slowest growth time, and seeds may be lost to birds, wind, or water, leaving you with ugly patches of soil in the middle of your yard. Perennial Ryegrass, 20% Fine Fescue – this is the best choice for most lawns, great for overseeding, and excellent for sun areas. As with some many things, the effectiveness of spray-on grass seed comes down to the execution. If you have a qualified professional who does a good job with the grass seed application you should have a great experience with spray-on seed, better growth and coverage than dry seeding, and for a fraction of the price of sod.

In addition, it is critical that the grass be kept as free of traffic as is reasonably possible. Keep family and friends off the grass if at all possible. Pets are included in the scope of this rule.

However, if you are familiar with lawn equipment and used to maintaining your landscape, then you may have the tools you need for the job. Once you know more about the base of your lawn—the soil—you can decide if hydroseeding, grass seeding, or sodding is right for your lawn. We’ve put together an easy chart that helps break down the advantages and disadvantages of the different seeding methods. Seeding method Heavy soils will break up more easily when they are on the dry side which will also prevent them from smearing on the rotovator blades. If this happens stop and let the ground dry a little otherwise you could be causing drainage problems later on. Conversely, sandy soils may well need some moisture to maintain the texture. Friable is the word used to describe the result we wish to achieve; a crumbly soil that is neither great clods of clay nor a loose sandy beach! Soil AmendmentsLarge regions affected by natural calamities like wildfires, mudslides, and the like can be reseeded with this grass planting technique. Double dig or rotovate the soil to a depth of 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cms). Less depth, say 10cms is okay but if you’re going to the trouble of digging it up you might as well do it thoroughly. Rotovate at least twice and if the depth and tilth are not reasonably uniform repeat the process again at right angles if possible or use a garden fork to break up any large clods and make the area more uniform. Your fertiliser should be incorporated at the end of this stage. With regards to residential application, spray on grass seed is not recommended for areas smaller than 0.5 acres, owing to the costs of setting up the equipment. But on a brighter note, there is little or no other investment needed to hydroseed a large area once the machine is set up. Mulch – could be made up of several different things including wood and paper, and provides the seeds with protection, and keeps them moist. Every lawn requires individual attention to know which seeding method will work best. Before you choose between hydroseeding, regular dry seeding, or installing sod, it is a good idea to perform a soil test. Soil tests will help you understand what nutrients are naturally in your soil. You can use this information to determine what type of fertilizer and grass seed are best for your lawn.

If you believe in traditional grass growing methods, you might not have used spray-on grass seed yet. Or you may think it is for professionals use only. However, it is not true.

With hydroseeding, you get 100 percent coverage, owing to the die included in the slurry, so you avoid the uneven, clumpy effect that comes with broadcast seeding. The first commercial hydroseeder was sold by Charlie Finn, but this model still in its infancy was a machine equipped with a 1000-gallon mixing tank, and an attached engine, pump, and spray unit that sprayed just seed and water.Even with their various advantages and disadvantages, each seeding method helps protect the soil from erosion. In fact, having a beautiful and healthy lawn not only looks great, but it can also be helpful to the environment, as well. If you’re unsure which method you should use, consider these scenarios: Requires a lot of water Must stay off grass for at least 2–3 months while roots establish Does not improve underlying soil. Not cost-effective for small lawns Usually requires a contractor

Lawn Size– Although you should invest in good grass seed, if the yard is too big, this can be risky financially if the grass ends up not being a good fit. Well-landscaped homes can addone to ten percentvalue to your home. This means that spending a pretty penny on the right spray on grass seed mixture will not go to waste in the long run for your home. Faster germination than regular seeding Grows on your soil, unlike sod which grows on transplanted soil Better overall moisture retention Costs less than sod

Keep following the water and standing instructions 2 to 3 times a day over your hard especially in the beginning. I often see sand layered at about 1” deep on top of prepared ground prior to seeding or turfing. This is done supposedly to add a smooth finish and improve drainage. In my humble opinion this does nothing for drainage, may well affect the grass negatively and at best is a poor substitute for a properly prepared and smoothed surface. Admittedly, heavy clay soils that are wet are the devils own job to level and smooth so timing, hard work and proper amendment of the soil is required, not a layer of sand! The Penultimate Step Prepare Your Hydroseeder– Add your choice of mulch, grass seed, fertilizer, and other chemicals to the seeder. Turn on the agitator to mix the ingredients. The Hydro Mousse liquid lawn care system is a great solution for people facing lawn issues such as dry spots, dog spots, and high traffic areas. This kit can cover up to 500 square feet for overseeding or 165 square feet for new lawns, and can be attached to any garden hose. When adding soil or organics do so in stages and NEVER layer one soil on top of another without blending by digging or rotovating. The greater the quantity or depth of amendment will affect the steps you will take to incorporate it. This will also affect the pH of the finished job so it’s worth getting a pH for the new soil. If you're adding organic matter the best is completely rotted none animal manure or humus.
