What are the advantages of hydroseeding over sod?
With sod you will have a green lawn immediately, but the process of applying sod is extremely labor intensive and costly. Although it looks like you have an immediate lawn, it is not very durable and well rooted for up to 5 years. This makes the lawn more susceptible to disease and drought. A sod lawn requires more extensive watering than a hydroseeded lawn to become established. The property owner doesn’t have to pay the sod company for growing, weeding, palletizing, shipping and the installation of the product when deciding to hydroseed. this is why hydroseeding is a fraction of the price as sod. Sod is also known for not catching and dying off when being grown in one location and then stripped off and relocated to a different soil.
