Hydroseeding
Hydroseeding, a revolutionary breakthrough in the landscaping and construction industry, is today's most efficient and successful method of establishing lawns and grasses. Hydroseeding is the most effective method of seeding and it produces beautiful results. Hydroseeding is your best option in almost any situation; residential, commercial, municipal, or industrial. Hydroseeding is a proven and economical choice with unbeatable results because it provides seedlings with an optimal germinating environment. This is achieved by mixing seed and fertilizer and spraying it on prepared soil. Thus ensuring an even distribution of seed which is shielded from environmental disruptions and is maximizing the water retention. This is the optimal germinating environment.
What separates Munroe Landscaping Hydroseeding from the rest
The amount of and quality of the seed used. We use 8-10 lbs. of seed per 100 sq. feet of lawn area (the recommended amount is 5 lbs. per sq. feet). We use only the highest quality blended seed with the highest estimated germination rates in the industry. We also use blended seeds, with Bluegrass being the majority of the blend at 45-60%.
We use high quality starter fertilizer with our seeding. This is essential to the seeds germination and initial establishment of roots.
We use higher quality wood mulch as a major percentage of our mulch when seeding. This is much more effective than paper mulch. We also use a tackifier in our mulch which actually glues the seed and mulch to the ground, eliminating erosion and seed puddling during rain and watering.
For Spring and Summer seeding
For Spring and Summer seeding, we are one of the few companies to use a pre-emergent crabgrass control called Tupersan. This product is one which prevents crabgrass growth, but lets the grass grow. This is crucial in Spring and Summer seeding.
From June 1 to September 1, we use a super-absorbent polymer with our seeding. These new products allow the soil to absorb from the air and ground 250 times its weight in water, even when there is little or no rain. The addition of these products, allows the seed to germinate twice as quickly even in the driest of weather.
 Hydroseeding Benefits
Hydroseeding has many advantages over traditional hand seeding and even sodding. The reason is because of its unique ability to provide the fragile seedlings with an optimum germinating environment, resulting in maximum germination. This is achieved by protecting the seedlings from environmental disruptions and by providing the highest water retention possible, which only hydroseed can do.
Hydroseeding Benefits
| • | Protection from scorching sun which can dry, crack, and kill seeds | |
• | Protection from birds by holding seeds in a protective mat | |
• | Protection from wind and rain which can disturb seeds when handseeding | |
• | Ensures an even spread and germination of seeds | |
• | Increases water retention by shielding soil from direct sunlight | |
• | Reduces germination time by pre-soaking seeds | |
• | Releases nutrients right away (water soluble fertilizer) | |
• | Guarantees seed to soil contact maximizing germination | |
• | Reduces soil preparation labor and eliminates seeding labor | |
• | Costs only a fraction of sodding | |
• | Unlike sodding, should you have any problems, they are easily remedied with spot seeding | |
• | Sodding is transplanting, hyrdoseeding is germinating seed in its permanent environment which reduces complication | |
• | Hydromulch decomposes into healthy organic matter for your new lawn |
