This newer term might not be very familiar to you, although you may have seen it before or heard it thrown around by lawn professionals from time to time. 
So what is this mysterious process or technique that sounds so intense? We are here to answer some of the basic questions regarding hydroseeding, such as what even is it?
What Is Hydroseeding?
Hydroseeding is a newer technique that allows large areas to be seeded quickly and efficiently by professionals. This type of seeding typically brings about grass that is very green and beautiful when done correctly. Of course it also depends on soil quality and turfgrass type. The process requires the appropriate mixture of seeds, water, mulch, and fertilizer. This mixture is then applied under pressure using a large hose. The proper application requires adequate knowledge and training as well as the appropriate tools. For these reasons hydroseeding is best left to the professionals if you want good results.
What Else Goes Into The Process?
Hydroseeding is a process that depends on a lot on environmental factors, what the homeowner wants, and the quality of the professional doing the job. When hydroseeding is going to happen, it is important to do all the preliminary tests to check the soil quality and levels of important nutrients and minerals. The correct correction measures should be taken prior to laying any seed down whether done as hydroseeding or traditionally.
The temperature during the day and the nightly temperatures play a part in when hydroseeding should be done, or at least the expected results of it. Rainfall and the amount of sun the seeded area gets are also factors in how well an area will do after it has been seeded using the hydroseeding techniques.
Caring For Your Newly Hyrdoseeded Lawn
So do you need to do anything special for this hydroseeded lawn of yours? Unless your contractor or lawn care expert directs you to do something special, you basically just need to water it. Light waterings for about four weeks with no traffic on it should be long enough for the lawn to begin to get a good establishment that will tolerate mowing infrequently. To really let your lawn establish fully, minimize traffic on it for a few months and take care to water and mow it properly.
If you have any more questions regarding hydroseeding, get in contact with your local agencies that are currently supporting the process and application. Rates and prices may change depending on your location, the time of year, and the company you choose to use.
