A good lawn is never complete without adequate size, irrigation type, types of seeds, and weed competition. In order to make sure that your lawn is up to the mark and according to your expectations, keeping all of these things in mind while considering a good location is essential. To deal effectively with soil erosion and washout, Hydroseeding is a great alternative.
What is Hydroseeding?
Hydroseeding is a method in which seeds, fertilizers, mulch, moisture holders, and stabilizers are sprayed into the soil with the help of a tank. With the use of special tools and technology, your landscape is basically uplifted.
All the polymers and other things make a mix that keeps the soil very moistured and fertilized. If a landscaper is looking forward to spreading seed and fertilizer, then the straw is needed to roll, rake, and spread slowly and lightly. Keep in mind that this won’t stick to the soil as hydroseeding.
When the hydroseeding mix is applied to the soil, a dense mat is formed, which looks like a blanket. With the help of this mat, the moisture of the soil is retained, and the speed germination process gets catalyzed.
Here are the materials used in the hydroseeding mix:
Soil Amendments
A soil test is extremely important before you set in for hydroseeding. Submit a soil sample and make sure that you are looking forward to some specific recommendations to grow your lawn.
Mulch
Be sure to choose the best mulch for your hydroseeding process. There are several materials used in hydroseeding, such as wood chips, natural or synthetic paper, etc. These vary in performance; therefore, a well-thought-out choice is essential.
If you are planning to go for hydroseeding, it could be the next best decision of your life. However, to make sure that you are doing it effectively, hiring a professional landscaper is highly necessary!
