Southern Hydroseeding | Supa Grass - Lawn Shop

 

Hydroseeding is a process which uses a special pump to spread a carefully selected blend of seed, fertilizer, mulch and water in one application.

Southern Hydroseeding One Stop Lawn Shop & Landscaping Hydroseeding a new lawn is an extremely fast and cost effective way to establish your new lawn. With this process the seed, fertilizer, lime and a cellulose fibre mulch are mixed with water and hydraulically sprayed onto a prepared soil surface. We service VIC, SA & southern NSW.

 

What is Hydroseeding?

Hydroseeding is a convenient, cost-effective way to plant grass seed, but like seeding and laying sod, it has its pros and cons.

More efficient than traditional seeding and more affordable than laying sod, hydroseeding strikes a fine balance. Although the name sounds pretty high-tech, hydroseeding can be done DIY-style or by a professional lawn care company. You’ll likely see the best results by going with a professional, but if you’ve got money on the mind, you can find a hydroseeding starter kit on Amazon, or maybe even your local garden store. Most people recommend hiring a company for their equipment and expertise.

Lawn Shop Hydroseeding is a seeding process in which seed and hydro mulch are mixed into a slurry and applied to an area with water. It usually consists of a blend of seed, fertilizer, mulch, and a tackifing agent that is mixed with water to be sprayed from a specialised machine. This slurry becomes the seedbed and aids in the germination of the desired vegetation. The mulch not only aids in the delivery of the seed, but also helps retain moisture and protect the seedlings during the germination period.

The benefits of hydroseeding are many including efficiency of placement, difficult terrain applications, less equipment to operate vs. traditional methods, and reduced labor. It can be very effective for hillsides, inaccessible terrain, and sloping lawns to help with erosion control and quick planting. Hydroseeding will typically cost less than planting with sod, but more than broadcast seeding. Vegetation results are often quicker with high germination rates producing grass growth earlier than drilled or broadcasted applications.

Hydromulching is basically the same process as hydroseeding but usually without the seed or fertilizer. This is typically done to a site that has had some form of dry seeding done, or used as a stand alone mulch application for dust control or soil moisture retention. Hydromulching uses the same equipment as the hydroseeding process.

 

Hydromulching is the application of water, seed and fertiliser in combination with a growth medium (e.g. wood fibre which we use).

It is common to introduce a binding agent into the slurry before application to help stabilise the mulch and retain moisture.

The addition of a linear polymer to the blend acts as a binder that helps the mulch bind together and stay in place while the seeds germinate. Hydromulching is quick and cost effective method compared to the traditional methods.

This treatment creates a protective barrier, minimising soil loss from rain and wind erosion and is ideal for lawns, sports and recreation fields, parks, steep embankments, quarries and mines.

 

Why Hydroseeding & Hydromulching?

Hydroseeding is the hydraulic application of seed, fertiliser, tackifier, organic carrier with water. Hydroseeding can apply seed as well as amendments in one pass and cover large areas relatively quickly. Hydroseeding can be used to revegetate areas that are difficult and/or dangerous to access. On sloped areas, the addition of a tackifier can assist with providing effective erosion control by helping the seed resist washing off and allowing the seed time to take hold and develop root system. The addition of soil amendments like fertiliser can also be applied with the seed to assist with seed establishment.

Hydroseeding can apply a variety of different seeds,

These can include:

•     Perennial grass seed

•     Golf course / turf seed

•     Parkland

•     Initial fast germinating seed for stabilisation/erosion

•     Tree seed

•     Native grass seed

•     Combination of fast germinating seed/cover crop and natives seed

Organic fibre and a tackier is mixed with water to create our Hydromulching, which is then sprayed onto a receiving soil or clay surface. It’s applied in the same process as Hydroseeding, however denotes a heavier slurry or liquid. This helps stabilise the area from wind or water erosion.
