How do I prepare the area that needs to be hydroseeded?
There is no difference than the way you would prep the area for sod or seeding conventionally. However, preparing the ground for hydroseeding is a very important part of the entire process. Remove existing grass and weeds. If there is an excessive amount of vegetation in the area, a non-selective herbicide, such as Round-Up, can be sprayed over the entire area to kill unwanted weeds. If topsoil is brought in, use a minimum of 4 inches, then level, rake and roll the area for a smooth slightly compacted surface free of any debris, large rocks, leaves and sticks. Ensure that the topsoil is not crusted. Then we will hydroseed your new lawn for you.
