What are the advantages of hydroseeding vs. conventional seeding?
Hydroseeding is excellent for preventing soil erosion due to wind and water, because the wood or paper mulch bonds directly to the ground, with the use of a tackifier, which holds the seed in place. By having your lawn hydroseeded, you are ensuring nearly 100% germination and emergence. Each seed is suspended and protected in the mulch mat, which creates a mini-greenhouse effect, retaining 10 times its weight in water and promoting germination. It produces a high quality lawn without the areas lacking seed, years of spot seeding and an overwhelming amount of weeds.
